Being a new K-Pop fan can be tough sometimes as there are just so many contents to catch up and things to know. If you have just started your journey as a K-Pop fan, we would first of all welcome you into the community.
After our previous article on 9 different types of Twitter account to follow, we are here to explain what 'homma' or fansite masters actually mean. Some might actually have heard of the term but do not know completely who they are.
In Korean, fansite masters are also known as 'homma'. Fansite masters are fans of a member of a particular K-Pop group who take stunning photos and share them mainly through Twitter. Most of the time, they attend almost every event or concert and take photos of one particular member.
The spectacular photos that you see spreading online are usually taken by these amazing fansites.
These fansite masters also tend to come up with non-official merchandises such as season greetings, slogans or even key rings using the photos which they had taken by themselves personally.

The money earned from the goods tend to go into purchasing presents, putting up subway or bus stop advertisements, food support and so on.
With such dedication and passion for the K-Pop idol, it is common to see that they have massive amount of followers on their Twitter account.
However, there are also occasions where these fans are the ones who might cross the line and take photos in areas which are not allowed. For example after customs in the airport.
In these cases, some might call them 'sasaengs'. Agencies tend to take note and eventually blacklist them from the fanclub while making an official announcement at the same time. No one knows for sure who they might be and it is always wise to think twice before following them and not just because they take nice photos.
Most of the time, fansite masters are just like fans but with a hobby of taking photos of their favorite K-Pop idols. They are kind and friendly, purely the intention to spread the love they have for the members.
Do you have a favorite fansite that you like?
