Only on LiNC: 1:1 Online Photo & Call Events
The way fans and artists meet has evolved from offline fan meetings to video call fan meetings — and now, to 1:1 Online Photo & Call Events.
Here we share the success story of the 1:1 Online Photo & Call Events we ran with MAKESTAR, which drew an enthusiastic response from artists and fans alike, along with LiNC's proprietary solution that made them possible.
📸 What is a 1:1 Online Photo & Call Event?
While traditional video call fan meetings focused on conversation, the 1:1 Online Photo & Call Event is an evolved fan meeting centered on taking photos together and keeping them. During a short video call, fans can chat with the artist and also pose side by side, just like in a photo booth, to capture a one-of-a-kind two-shot. To fully support this special experience, LiNC has developed a dedicated solution for 1:1 Online Photo & Call Events.
Our solution was recently used in events hosted by MAKESTAR for Kep1er, xikers and NouerA, all of which were completed successfully. The events gave fans photos to treasure for a lifetime, and gave artists short but memorable moments with their fans.

💡 Key features of LiNC's 1:1 Online Photo & Call Events
From the planning stage, we designed every feature around one goal: an experience that satisfies both fans and artists.
1. Artists' favorite: the camera filter ✨
Artists naturally care about how they look on screen during video calls, so we built in our own beauty filter. It gives a bright, flattering look with no extra setup, and artists who used it were highly satisfied.
2. Automatic split screen for the perfect two-shot
When the event starts, the screen automatically splits into left and right halves. The artist and fan appear side by side without overlapping, so it's easy to capture a perfectly framed two-shot.
3. Keepsakes made easy: automatic high-resolution photo saving 💾
Fans no longer miss the conversation while trying to take screenshots. High-resolution photos are automatically saved to both the fan's and the artist's phone gallery.
4. Smart features that remove communication barriers
Mirroring: Messages that fans write on sketchbooks or paper to show the artist are flipped so they don't appear reversed on screen, keeping communication smooth.
Real-time translation: For global fans, conversations are translated in real time and shown as subtitles.
5. A timer for smooth operation ⏱️
The remaining time is shown on screen as a live timer, and the call ends automatically when time is up. Staff don't need to step in and cut the call, so each session wraps up cleanly without spoiling the mood. The timer appears on both the fan's and the artist's screens, so both can prepare for the end of the call.
LiNC aims to use technology to bring fans and artists closer and to deliver joyful, moving experiences to both. The 1:1 Online Photo & Call Event solution is just the beginning. We'll keep growing into a service that offers the features global K-POP fandoms need most, along with delights they never imagined.
Inquiries about adopting the 1:1 Online Photo & Call Event solution or partnering with us are always welcome.
