"If you've seen a concert of any kind, be it Taylor Swift or BTS, you're no stranger to the sea of phones recording videos of the performers. The desire to get a good snap for social media is particularly strong at K-pop concerts, where fans strain to get "fancams" of their favorite boy from their seats. I secured tickets to South Korea's opening leg of the top K-pop band Seventeen's world tour last month."
"I got tickets to the opening leg of Seventeen's tour in South Korea. I'm a big fan of Joshua Hong, one of the vocalists. It seemed like a golden opportunity for fancams. I heard about Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra phone rentals and had to give it a shot. Here's how it went. My seat was five floors up from the stage, so I needed a plan."
A rented Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra was used to attempt high-quality fancams from a seat five floors up at Seventeen's opening concert in South Korea. K-pop concerts often feature many phones as fans strive for close-up fancams for social media. The phone's advanced zoom and stabilization improved distant footage but could not completely overcome performer movement, crowd obstructions, and venue restrictions. Practical considerations included rental logistics, battery life, and testing camera settings. Bringing extra power, confirming venue policies, and securing better sightlines enhanced results; closer seats or professional gear remain superior for top-tier fancams.
