What Does This Mean?

[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

Korean fandom shorthand for 음원 총공 (music-source all-out attack): a coordinated push in which fans stream or download a song at agreed times to lift its position on the music charts. 음총 names the music-streaming form of the broader 총공 fan action.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"The fan cafe posted the 음총 schedule: everyone starts streaming at 8 p.m. sharp."

LORE & ORIGIN

음 (from 음원, music source) + 총 (from 총공, short for 총공격 "all-out attack"). A Korean fan-term wiki describes 총공 as a coordinated online action by K-pop fans toward goals such as music-show wins and chart gains, with streaming, music-video views and online voting as typical activities; an Xportsnews piece describes 총공 as many accounts streaming and downloading a song at once to push its chart ranking.
