/hom-ma/

홈마 (homma) means a K-pop or idol-fandom fansite master, usually someone who takes, edits, and posts high-quality photos or videos of an idol. It comes from “홈페이지 마스터,” meaning the person who ran a fan homepage or fansite.

origin · Source

The term is shortened from “홈페이지 마스터” (homepage master), a phrase used in earlier Korean idol fandoms for people who operated personal fan homepages or fansites. As fandom activity moved from private homepages and fan cafes to Twitter/X, Instagram, and other social platforms, 홈마 came to mean a fan photographer or fansite account that posts polished idol photos, previews, and fancams. The exact first year is hard to verify, so 2000 is an approximate early-2000s fandom-era estimate.
