In the K-pop world, your favorite group member is known as "bias". If you want to know which member you like the most in a K-pop group and who is your bias, the hints in this article can help you.
Step
Step 1. Choose a group that you like more than other K-pop groups
As a suggestion, choose a group that you already know and like because it will be easier for you to get to know each member, their voice, etc. (you can still follow this step for other less familiar groups).
Step 2. Find shows to view
Focus on variety shows as they can usually highlight the personality of each member of the group.
Step 3. Decide who you like the most
After watching a few videos about the group, there may be one member you like more than the others.
- Sometimes, you can find out which voice you like best to determine your bias.
-
If you want, you can watch videos about each member separately to determine which group member is your bias.
Step 4. Choose and learn more about your favorite members
Find out about your bias. Get to know his full name (some K-pop idols change their names), birthdays, and other things.
Step 5. Make a list of biases
You can have more than one bias. Try choosing one bias from various K-pop groups.
Even if it's hard or annoying when you have to choose main bias (favorite idol of all idols in the whole group), you can have more than bias people in one group. You can also have a bias for various aspects. Take the group EXO as an example: your “charm singer” bias is Chen, your “aegyo” bias is Xiumin, your “golden voice” bias is D. O, and your “stylish” bias is Chanyeol. The most important thing to remember when choosing a bias is that there is an emotional connection with the member concerned.
Tips
- The concept of "bias" may not apply to singer groups from the United States, England, or Indonesia. This concept is part of the K-pop phenomenon.
- Watching variety shows is a great way to get to know the names of all the members, especially for big groups like Girls' Generation and EXO.
- If all the methods described can't help you, choose the member that is most similar to you.
- Over time, your bias may change as you get to know more groups and idols. However, in the end you will stick to one bias for quite a long time.
- It doesn't matter if you switch to another bias. “bias busters” are in the group and they may “try” as much as possible to ruin your bias list (and turn you on to them).
- Don't be shy about telling your friends in your K-pop community that you've “changed” your bias. Hiding it is a “novice fan” mistake so make sure you don't do it.
- Changes in bias are completely normal because everyone changes over time. If surprised if you or your bias figure changes.
- Sometimes, you need to follow your instincts. Try to think like this: "When I look at this picture of the group with all the members, who looks the most unique? Who caught my eye first?" These members can be your bias (or your bias destroyer) in the group.
Warning
- Group members usually do various things, like hit the high notes of the song, act really cute, or look perfect in general. These members are known as “bias list busters” or “bias busters” who can distract you. You will need to “reorder” your bias list if you see or know these members.
- Don't spread hate to other groups and their fan base.
- Don't watch a group on variety shows if you don't intend to become mentally and/or emotionally attached to each of its members.
- As much as possible don't just like your bias and hate the other members. It will only lead to a dangerous obsession.
- Respect other members. They also deserve as much love as you love your bias.
