Overseasidol.com — The 6th anniversary concert of Teens in Times (TNT) at Guiyang Olympic Sports Center presented an extraordinary scene as the audience area transformed into what netizens called a “ocean of telephoto lenses”.
Numerous fans brought professional cameras, creating a striking visual display rarely seen at live performances.
Rows of high-end photography equipment from brands such as Canon and Sony filled the venue, with some fans even renting premium gear and purchasing front-row positions to secure the best shooting angles.
The spectacle sparked jokes online, with users saying that not even a professional camera exhibition could gather such a wide variety of models in one place.
This unusual scene reflects the rise of a “everyone is a fansite” mindset, where supporters no longer just attend concerts but also compete to produce exclusive, high-quality photos and videos often referred to as “legendary images” within fan communities.
The core motivation behind this trend lies in securing exclusive visual content, which has become a valuable asset in modern fandom culture.
Such materials not only elevate the idol’s visibility but also enhance the status of the fan who captures them.
Observers note that this phenomenon reveals the extreme enthusiasm of “fansite culture,” a unique element of today’s idol economy.
While it showcases dedication and creativity, it also highlights the tension and pressure embedded in competitive fandom environments.
In the end, the concert became more than just a musical celebration, it served as a vivid reflection of the evolving relationship between idols, fans, and the contemporary entertainment industry.
