===== K-pop Bias List =====
K-pop is popular music from South Korea. A **bias** is a member who is your personal favorite, for whatever reason you choose. 

The degree of the bias is how well-informed your decision is. 

| Kneejerk | Impulsive, first impressions | 
| All-tied | Too many biases at once to decide |
| T&T | Tried-and-True, over many MV/years |
| Ultimate | bias of all biases, top rank across all groups | 

I decided to make this list to give me a reminder of my history with each kpop group, since there are so many, so I can update the list later as favors adjust over time, or research who I had picked in previous attempts, or find out if I had already seen a group yet. 

A rare exception to this list is my pick for TWICE which was more detailed of a decision. I had such a difficult time deciding which I liked best in TWICE, so I watched every TWICE MV, and ranked them into 3 categories: 

| 1 member | top fav | +1 pt |
| 5 members | middle fav | 0 pt |
| 3 members | bottom fav | -1 pt |

Mina came out the overall winner of those, but just lately Chaeyoung has really leapt up in visuals to me that I am tempted to make her the top rank. I'm so fickle xD

==== Undecided ====
----

This is a list of groups who, for one reason or another, I just can't pick one from: none of them have visuals that just leapt out to me, or a voice that really 'spoke' to me to decide, and may end up requiring more of a T&T level of consideration to make a firm enough decision. Still, some groups just aren't my thing and are a miss for me, with doubts I'll really bother with watching more to find out. If I eventually do, I'll move them to the Decided list.| 

^ K-Pop Group ^ My First MV ^ Reason if any ^ Plans to T&T? ^
| Red Velvet | [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFgv8bKfxEs|Happiness]] | Too-close levels of visual | yes |
| Stellar | [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7pp0JYhuGQ|MASK]] | None really leapt out to me | doubtful |
| After School | [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBcdQV4q2Yk|BANG!]] | MV edit/cuts too rapid | doubtful |
| tripleS | [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m25wQkLg1jc|Password]] | Too many visuals to choose | possible |
==== The Gauntlet ====
----
I have been pretty deep into TWICE, and for a very long time struggled to decide on a bias, but really wanted to decide on one. 

I realized that I liked the vast majority so much that I had unique biases per MV, but that there were general trends of those beginning to emerge, so I decided to create a grading system.

I would choose one top favorite (+1pt) from each MV, 5 middle-rank members (0pt/ea), and 3 bottom rank members (-1pt/ea), and award each of those categories point values from a starting grade of 100, to find out who exactly might be my true TWICE bias overall via the scoring. Here's how each MV and TWICE member ended up scoring: (listed L-to-R in alpha order; the number in parenthesis is their total so far).

It was a 3-way tie between Mina, Naeyeon, and Tzuyu on points. 

Chaeyoung had the most top(+) awards. Mina had the most "best total" throughout.
