So this is for baby K-pop stans or people who want to know what bias is, how people choose their bias, and potentially how they can choose a bias.
What does ‘bias’ actually mean? – Bias is your favourite member/members within a specific musical group.
How fans choose their bias.
For most fans it is mainly for the visuals—not in a bad way, but just their visuals caught their eyes—but for some it is if a certain idol has qualities they find good in a person. For example, their humour or the way they talk and interact.
Very much depends on who that one idol (or more) is in a group that you first search for when it’s a group activity.
Examples:
If your bias is Irene from Red Velvet, at every group setting you look for her first.
If your bias is Seungmin from Stray Kids at every group setting, you look for him first.
If you are an OT6 or OT7, you always look at the whole group and don’t search for a particular member. OTx means you can’t/haven’t chosen a bias and that you bias the whole group.
Some fans choose their bias because they were the first member they saw from the particular group.
Some fans move on from the first bias to another simply because they find the other one more to their taste. It can be because they have qualities that certain people like.
Some fans never move on from their first bias because that certain idol has all the qualities they look for.
Some have more biases in a group, **but** not the whole group. Simply because those certain members can all look good for that person. Visually and personality-wise.
I hope this helped somebody. And that I didn’t offend anyone.
