Hey, there.
I don't know if you know this, but I am an extreme K-pop fan.
I've been one since 2009.
First I just wanted to "check out" what all the fuss was about but what got me hooked on was SNSD's MV, Gee.
Not long after my first exposure, I began to watch Korean variety shows on KBS World.
I watched Star Golden Bell, Invincible Youth and Music Bank.
They were all very good influences in building my admiration towards this Korean revolution, the Hallyu wave.
I can't really say when I started to actively dive into the depths of the K-pop scene but I guess it was after I finished my Matriculation program.
I had too much time on my hands, I guess, and I updated myself on almost everything K-pop-related.
My knowledge grew and I think I can consider myself a real K-pop fan.
And, what comes with being a K-pop fan, is choosing my bias.
A "bias" is a member of an idol group (Korean girl/boy bands) whom one prefers most, over other members.
It's somewhat like choosing a favorite member, one whom you focus on more and know the most about.
People with severe bias issues, such as myself, go to great heights to realize that dream of one day getting to actually meet or even spend time with that certain bias.
Fanboys and fangirls go to great lengths to acquire posters, accessories, merchandise and other stuff related to their bias or the bias' group to show undying support and loyalty.
It's something more of self-satisfaction than anything else.
Some people say that these type of people are overly obsessed, wasting precious money, time and energy on non-beneficial stuff.
I don't give a damn of what those people think or say.
I've built a fanboy spirit that is as steady as steel and I won't falter due to such words of hatred and negativity.
However, I've digressed too far.
Today (or tonight?) I'd like to, for the first time of my life, reveal all my biases in idol groups that I'm a fan of.
As much as this would make me seem too indulged into this K-pop scene and it may make me look undoubtedly problematic, it's nice to have a sense of self-security on where I stand with all this.
Don't take this the wrong way, though.
I may have all these biases, but I have my number one (the last one in this entry) and my feelings for her are not to be played with.
So, here goes (brace yourselves):

I may have all these biases, but I have my number one (the last one in this entry) and my feelings for her are not to be played with.
So, here goes (brace yourselves):
Girls Day - Sojin
Kara - Nicole
Rainbow - Seung Ah
2NE1 - Park Bom
Brown Eyed Girls - Narsha
After School - Jooyeon
A Pink - Nam Joo
4Minute - Jiyoon
f(x) - Victoria
Miss A - Suzy
SNSD - Yuri
IU (not really a "bias", but I like her)
And last but certainly not the least, my number one K-pop bias is:
T-ara - Park Jiyeon
I can't describe why I like her the most.
She stole my heart the very instant I looked into her eyes (in photos, I mean).
She has that powerful stare, that cheeky, cute smile and adorable laugh and whatever she does, she does with a witty sense of humor.
She has a knack for bringing the brighter side in someone and although I haven't experienced it in real time, seeing it on television or watching videos of her on YouTube has done enough.
As much as I do seem awfully pathetic and utterly unrealistic, Jiyeon holds most (if not all) qualities I want in a girl.
I can't surely summarize all of them, but looking at her and following her progress in her life makes me happy.
She makes me happy, and that's what's most important in life - to just be happy.
I pray to God that someday I'll find a girl like her.
Until I do, Park Jiyeon will be number one in my heart.
Please don't judge me.
