Bias
Your favorite member in a K-pop group — the one you'd take a bullet for.
Definitions
Used as a casual measure of loyalty — to 'have a bias' means you're locked in on one member specifically rather than stanning the whole group equally.
In K-pop fandom, your absolute favorite member of a group — the one who pulled you in and holds your whole heart.
By extension, a favorite within any group of people or characters, used jokingly outside K-pop too.
