If you're a diehard K-Pop fan, you're probably familiar with the term "fancam." You could even say it's part of your regular YouTube search vocabulary.
Fancams are clips of idols recorded by fans. Fans record and share these amazingly high quality videos to capture their idols' hard work and charm for the internet to ogle--but some fancams are ogled much more than others.
Last time, we showed you some of the most popular performance fancams. Now, here are some fancams that gained attention not necessarily for the idols' performance, but for other reasons. Ranked by YouTube views from least to most, here are some of the most popular non-performance fancams ranging from cute, amusing, to simply shocking. Check them out!
Onew fainting on 'Music Bank' in 2009
First up, we have a fancam of the infamous 2009 'Music Bank' incident gathering a total of more than 343,000 views. Although it's a bit difficult to tell exactly what happened from the fancam amidst all the chaos, reports stated that a light fixture had fallen towards SHINee leader Onew. Super Junior's Siwon and Kyuhyun prevented the fixture from actually hitting Onew, but the SHINee leader still fainted due to the shock, and can be seen being carried around the 2:30 mark.
ChoA's faceplant
Dancing in heels is hard and if you're dancing on a slippery stage, then you have the perfect recipe for an accident. ChoA fell into such an accident, faceplanting onto the stage while dancing to her group's debut song, "Elvis". The talented singer took it like a champ, however, and impressed the audience and her approx. 499,000 viewers alike for being able to smile despite the obvious pain.
TVXQ and Super Junior reacting to 2NE1
It's always fun to see our favorite K-Pop groups interacting with and even reacting to one other. This particular fancam mashup shows TVXQ and Super Junior enjoying 2NE1's "I Love You" performance from '2012 SBS Gayo Daejun,' allowing around 581,000 viewers to speculate and analyze what these boy groups are thinking while watching the queens at work.
Jonghyun and Minho's almost-kiss
Aside from recording performances and idol reactions, fans also film fancams in hopes of capturing moments of their OTPs (one true pairings). This particular video of the pair Jonghyun and Minho--or Jongho--gained over 656,000 views as Minho can be seen leaning in for a kiss, then quickly ducking back when Jonghyun seems up for it. Of course, that doesn't stop Jonghyun from trying again. Oh haaaay.
Krystal fainting in 2010
Poor girl can never catch a break! f(x)'s Krystal fainted earlier this year during an SMTOWN concert in Shanghai, but footage of her fainting back in 2010 during a Lotte Duty Free Shop Family Concert continues to trend at 708,000 views. Both incidents alarmed fans about Krystal's stressful and tired condition.
Krystal fainting at the SMTOWN concert can be seen here starting around the 3:17 mark:
Taeyeon being pulled off stage
Some fancams capture the scariest moments in idols' careers. In this popular fancam, which gained over 761,000 views, Girls' Generation leader Taeyeon gets pulled off stage around the 3:35 mark by a random, male fan.
EXO's reaction to Huang Qishan
EXO's dumbfounded reaction is next! In this fancam, EXO's awestruck faces collect over 847,000 views and giggles as they watch Chinese singer Huang Qishan perform. Not that I blame them. That is one amazing Whitney Houston medley cover!
Suzy allegedly being molested
Fans were in an uproar this past summer when a fancam of Suzy appearing to be molested by the MC of a Sprite event surfaced. The fancam has gained over 1.24 million views, but JYP Entertainment later asserted that the MC had only accidentally touched Suzy while helping her up the stage and that he had not attempted to touch her anymore than that.
Fans found that another fancam of the same incident at a different angle backed up JYP's statements:
Heechul zoning out mid-performance
Heechul had ELFs laughing when he recently zoned out during a 'Super Show 6' performance. In the fancam, which has gained over 1.62 million views, while the other Super Junior members move to stand on a certain part of the stage, Heechul remains where he is, only to belatedly realize that he is the only member not on the raised platform. Awkward, but hilarious.
Bora's faceplant
If you thought ChoA's faceplant was bad, check out Bora's cringe-inducing fall that earned her fancam over 1.69 million views! She falls fast and she falls hard and, although she attempts to be a trooper and continue to perform, once the music stops, she can't help but keel over in pain. Ouch, that must've really hurt!
Bonus: Jonghyun and Taemin's cover of "Internet War"
This was sorely missing from our last article of idol performance fancams, so here it is for your viewing pleasure! Jonghyun and Taemin are hot, sweaty, and feelin' each other up in this fancam, sending viewers into fangirling frenzies. There are multiple fancams of this moment, so it's hard to say how many views 'Jongtae' has gathered in total! This particular fancam has gained around 485,000 views.
Bonus: 'Dream High's street performance
Speaking of amazing, imagine seeing a whole K-Drama unfold right before your eyes! The 'Dream High' cast surprised the public with a street dance performance, gathering a huge crowd of squealing and dancing fangirls as well as 1 million YouTube views.
Check out the edited and broadcasted version of this moment here!
