In Kpop, Bias is used to refer to the member you like the most in a music group. The number of Biases a person can have is unlimited, however, these biases must be from different music groups. The way you treat your Biases will also be different from other members in the group.
For example: When someone identifies themselves as a T-Ara Bias Ji Yeon, it means that person admires the T-Ara music group, and their favorite member in the group is Ji Yeon. Or in the BTS music group, if your favorite member is Kim Seok Jin, then Jin is your Bias. You can tell others that you are a BTS Bias Jin.
