Recently, a video has been going viral among Korean netizens on various popular social media platforms and online communities.

The video shows individuals wearing camouflage outfits taking photos on a mountain top in China. The photographers are seen wearing hats covered with leaves, blending seamlessly with the surrounding trees. The short clip initially shows the photographers among the trees, but later zooms out to reveal their location.

The poster explained that these were Hommas, or Home Masters, who take photos to share on their fan websites. These individuals go to great lengths and use high-end cameras to capture high-quality photos of their favorite celebrities. The poster wrote, "Seriously, it’s so hilarious how the home master unnies (fansite photographers) at Hengdian climb trees and use camouflage to get unauthorized photos. Their stealth techniques are seriously evolving."

Another netizen shared a different video of the celebrity these Chinese fans were taking photos of.

The netizen explained, "When you look at the unauthorized photos from Hengdian, you’re like, 'They climbed up there to take that shot?'... Honestly, more than anything, if you’re going to Hengdian, you need to be ready to climb mountains, trees, and have insane stamina. It’s amazing how they don’t even eat or drink anything because they’re afraid they’ll have to use the bathroom…"

As these videos have been going viral in various online communities, Korean netizens are expressing shock at how far these Chinese fans are going to snap a photo of their favorite celebrities. They commented:

"That's so crazy."
"How did they even get up there?"
"What is this. lol."
"They are amazing. lol."
"This is actually impressive."
"Lol. I'm more surprised by the people who discovered the photographers from that far away. lol."
"Are they not scared of the height?"
"They have really some skills to get up there. How did they get that far up there?"
"This is real love."
"If I were the celebrity, I would be creeped out."
"Their passion is really amazing."
"They should be hired as ninjas lol."
"I'm tearing how thoroughly they're camouflaged. lol."
"Well, we can't romanticize Sasaeng Hommas."
"I was impressed by the first video, but then the second video is lol. How did they climb that tree? The branch looks super weak, too."
