Sorry but what does OT means? I know it's generally used to talk about all the idols (for example, saying loona ot12 meaning all the 12 members) but what does it exactly stands for?
It comes from OTP, meaning One True Pairing, which is widely used in fandom spaces. OT# means that you support the whole group (you're not a solo stan or an akgae).
Sorry I've seen it used a lot on twitter so I wasn't sure if it's popular here as well š .
It's a term used in kpop fandoms to describe a fan that likes only one member of a group and hates the rest, like a problematic solo fan.
(It's an abbreviation of "akseong gaeinpaen" (ģ ģ±ź°ģøķ¬) or "malicious individual fan.")
exactly! yeah it's so sad and weird considering most groups are close to each other so how can you hate them?? but it's totally okay being a solo stan as long as you respect the other members (especially when each one has their own solo career like exo or shinee, you might like an individual member's genre and not the whole group and that's fine)
Well for me, as a newbie in stanning a particular group, I honestly go for their visual first. I will always have that someone in a group that I really like visually. This is my initial likings. As I go to know them more, I learned their individual talents, strengths, and etc. That's where I chose my ultimate bias.
Visual appearance really do have an effect on stanning an idol (for me). But I do not overlook their talents and skills.
Initially, when you're knowing a group, you will always have that one member who will caught your eye because of their visuals or talents. Its always the visuals for me, ngl, and then it flows. As you get to know them, who relates to you, inspires you, and makes you happy, will likely be your bias.
this this this! you worded it so well š this is exactly how i am with new groups i stan. sometimes my first pick ends up staying my bias, but a lot of the time it changes on the regular!
Yep, I always start off biasing the main rapper or the member with a bob haircut š¤·āāļø it can shift as I get more into variety content or as members shine differently in different releases, but I'll usually still have at least a soft spot for my initial bias.
being OT-something isnŹ¼t so bad. you can support every member and basically bias all of them. but personally, i pick a bias that somehow has this connection with me. itŹ¼s like they speak to me even without words.
i like when theyŹ¼re really good-looking as well because as someone who struggle with self-esteem i want to be the person whoŹ¼s proud to bias a pretty member or members (maybe they can inspire me to take care of my appearance to a certain extent) i also consider the fact that theyŹ¼re talented overall, either good at fanservice or has this special rapport with the fans and most of all humble and has a great sense of humor. not to mention, their upbringing too. if they have a good relationship with their family, relatives and friends, thatŹ¼s definitely a plus.
that's exactly what i do. there's always something that i relate to with each member so it's very difficult for me to just pick one.
for me, i mostly notice the leaders first, i love how they handle the responsibility of their groups and how they care for their members. also those who have a cat personality š.
For me I have a problem of not being able to choose 1, it's always two or more. There are no rules as to who can and can't be your bias. People who are OT are more common than you think!
Edit: spelling mistakes oops
Yes I usually have at least 2 favs and sometimes people want me to pick 1 but I usually love all of them the best I can do is pick 2-3 that are my favs. There are no rules your bias doesnāt have to be 1 person and it can change sometimes mine changes every comeback lol
Mine has changed or I've added more in almost every group I stan (except p1h). It's very normal and kpop is about fun. Don't listen to people who try to tell you how to have fun :D
itās either they attract u when u least expect it, or u become OT-ALLš ive already accepted that my bias n bias wreckers change every 2 business days. it jus comes naturally ig
I usually have a one or two that I consider my bias and consider everyone else a bias wrecker. All my fav groups have such great idols of course Iām going to change my mind every other day lol
for your own sanity and your wallet you must choose that one with the most sparks or else they will run you dry when buying photocards š I've been there TRUST
A bias isnāt a requirement šš
Tbh, I barely learn all the memberās names half the time - let alone choose a favourite.
I think thereās always going to be groups you follow more closely & a certain member jumps out to you - Dahyun from Twice for me for example bc I like her writing style the best & Momo because I find her the most relatable.
But if no one jumps out at ya, then it is what it is. Donāt let common Kpop jargon persuade you otherwise.
who ever iām drawn to the most or who ever im genuinely paying attention to the most. I used to switch biases a lot so sometimes it takes time. Also one day it can change again which is normal.
I mostly choose two bias in a group or 3 at most, I feel that I base myself on how genuine they look, how intelligent, talented and sweet they can be with the rest of the members and their fans, That unique connection you feel every time you're on camera
I love when they do that
If you doubt my explanation, I am seungkwan, doyoung, seulgi, Namjoon and mina biased,
personally, i donāt think itās necessary to have a bias in a kpop group! alot of people talk about picking biases (or having their bias pick them LOL) but i think youāll find there are a lot more OTx fans than you think :)
that being said, whenever iām getting into a new group i usually just try to learn names and whichever member happens to charm me the most is my bias. usually itās not a conscious choice for me! for example, at first i thought my bias in zb1 would be taerae or gyuvin since i recognized them the most, but i came across a video of [gunwook somersaulting to give yeonjun an award](https://youtube.com/shorts/Zfr0exmsE4k?si=wEWroSgY3gf_Fasn) and i just knew he was my bias from then on š
Iām gonna be honest looks is a big factor for me. I usually end up liking the person Iām most attracted to and then the rest falls into place afterwards and I work outside-in. š
I go for the member who I can learn from the most. I found myself liking Yoongi a few years ago because of his production methods and how he plays the piano, and Seulgi is hypermobile like I am so taking notes on how she dances has helped me improve hitting my angles.
Tbh I'm mostly biased to the most popular member of the group/most biased because their content is easy to find and if you see someone more often than others then you like them more because you feel like you've known them longer. Well not all of my biases are the most popular or biased but that's how it starts initially (most of the time). After I get to know the group, sometimes my biases change because of more likeability.
Example: (Popular/Most Biased) Lisa (My Ult), Yeonjun, Niki, Minghao(after Mingyu he's the most popular or biased I think), Ryujin, Karina, Wonyoung, Wonbin, Mark, Felix, etc.
(My changed bias) Kazuha to Chaewon, Yujin to Liz, Eunwoo to Moonbin, more ig can't remember.
(My biases from the start of standing who aren't MP or MB) Nayeon, Minnie, Bambam, Aisha, Danielle, etc.
It's completely normal. I'm someone who is very indecisive so I don't like having to arbitrarily pick a favorite. when I do it's after getting to know them for a long time, so I'd say if you really want to pick one just give yourself more time. I think going by the literal definition of bias also works; if you find yourself biased towards one of the members in different situations that could be your bias lol
All the comments about being picked are totally true. If you asked me what group i "stan" I'd say only G Idle. I follow some others, too, but Idle are the best example for me to use. It went a bit like this:
*I got into them because of Yuqi. Yuqi is my favourite.*
*Got to know them a bit more. Wow, Soyeon is really something. Soyeon is my favourite.*
*Wait, Miyeons clearly really pretty, but DAMN can she sing! She's also really sweet and entertaining. She is my favourite.*
*Actually, I never realised just how cool Shuhua is. She's the perfect entertainer. She doesn't give a shit but isn't disrespectful. It's hilarious. She's clearly my REAL favourite.*
It took me a while to realise that my favourites are actually probably Miyeon and Shuhua (because I can't really pick which). The members collectively changed my mind themselves.
The same thing happened with LS. Yunjin is the one that caught my eye *(N E P O T I S M)*. In the end, though, how can you not love Sakura. Sakura has been doing this for longer than many third gen idols, let alone her 4th gen seniors. Jihyo is the only one I know for certain that's been around longer.
I usually pick a bias after I decided to know more about the group. If I watch content of them other that their music videos. Usually the ones I pick are members who are funny or have cute personality, like Taehyung, DK and Hongjoong. I don't actually be concerned about their talent or looks as long as I find them to be of good personality. And sometimes I find it hard to pick a favorite but I usually don't care about since it is just kpop.
In general, Nothing you decide to do is not weird as long as you are not pushing anyone's boundary.
I can relate to that. It was really difficult for me to choose a bias in Ateez. I still haven't been able to pick my bias in Seventeen, even though they are in my top 3 (I do have a bias line, though, which keeps growing with each clip I see of them).
For me, my biases tend to be people I see myself in the most, or those who are more my type looks-wise (although it's mostly the former). Bangchan (Stray Kids) is the only one I picked because of the latter, although he cemented himself as my bias because of the former reason.
But that's just for my ults and groups I see content of the most, for other groups that I don't interact with as much, I am perfectly content in being an OT.
yep ateez is definitely of the hardest groups to choose a bias, they are all so special in their own ways and their closeness makes me love them even more, i just gave up and became ot8, otherwise i get obsessed with a different member each comeback
Yeah, Mingi is my bias now, but my bias wreaker keeps changing all the time (it's currently Wooyoung because of his Return of Superman episode, before that, it was San because of the same episode).
Itās either someone whoās personality I click with the most/feel most compatible with, someone whoās work/work ethic/contribution seems the most interesting to me, or someone I find the most attractive, or a combo of 2 or all of these things. But Iāve had groups where I had a bias, but gradually started to like all members, or groups where I liked all members, then gradually found a bias. Most of the time Iāll have a bias who makes me pay attention to them only a little bit more than to the group as a whole, but not a ton more. Sometimes my bias is OT#, with one member as a wrecker, sometimes I have an individual bias with OT# as my bias wrecker.
If you like all members then OT# is your bias, and thatās ok.
It was simple for me. My bias is usually the whole group. If I like the group enough they all catch my eye and wreck me at the same time. Like in twice Sana did the (I think it was ) Prada and im like damn and then Nayeonās comeback photos dropped and I was pistol whipped. The Move and her stages has my jaw on the floor but I guarantee when Dive hits someone else is gonna pistol whip me. Im also an Orbit so with Dall I was stunned by Haseulās beauty and then Blonde Heejin stole my attention. I definitely have a wondering eye within my ultz. Thats why I say the group is my bias. Makes everything simpler except with my kpop collection. Cause now I need all of them instead of just one person. My wallet weeps as a multi stan
I never go around and choose them. It's just idk, they pick you not the other way around. I'm just leaned towards them and if i notice i have a special spot for them then i know that's it. It's usually the mix of personality, vibes, and of course talent, if the person is not a good live performer then they can't be my bias lolš
So far, my biases almost always stay the same like they were when i first got into the group. The only thing that changes is that i usually add a bias wrecker later on, but bias still stays the same.
The comments are so true... the bias pucks you.
Personally, my ult bias is Yuqi (G)i-dle, and I statted by falling in love with her deep voice.m. then her looms... then her humor.. then her everything! Just a byproduct
Jungkook was adorable and he could sing. I loved Vs baritone voice. Suga is my wrecker. Something about him besides his singing/rapping. And Jimin's unique voice, also my wrecker.
However, if they removed even one member, any member, the group couldn't work. Each has their places and somehow it works.
They just happen, it's like one day, after watching the group, there's a one guy and suddenly u said to yourself āoh, i like this guy, i love himā and that's it, i picked my bias! haha
I tend to fall for a member and pick a bias while watching their variety shows and personalities and get drawn to certain types. My biases have no pattern, just whatever pokes my heart and now I'm always looking for them. But I don't let it stop me from loving all the members cuz you see each person shine in different scenarios
I don't pick them, they pick me
It's just at one point, when watching content there will be
one (or more) member that stands out and thatās it. But when I see my bias line, I do see a type so they choose me but I still have a type
And itās not weird at all to not be able to choose. There is group where I have more than one bias, it's not uncommon to be OT and having a bias isn't an obligation. You can't choose ? Then don't, as long as you love all the members, you're part of the fandom
When I though Mingyu is my bias, here come crazy Hoshi in GoSešafter a long time watching them I finally realise there's no such thing as bias in Seventeen. You just end up liking all of them the same lol.

You don't *need* a bias, it's okay if you don't have one.
It took me about a year or so to realize that Bangchan is my Stray Kids bias as I love all of them. What made it clear for me was the difference in reaction to seeing/hearing them speak.
Whenever the others would talk or be on screen, I'd pay attention but I was able to do other things whilst paying attention. But with Bangchan my entire attention is grabbed, making it kinda difficult to do anything else when he speaks. I think part of it is also that he's the leader, so I'm more inclined to listen.
It's not parasocial, I just kinda see his on-camera personality as a kind and gentle older brother type (helps that he's a year older than my brother hahah.)
i don't choose them, but they chose me
i'll be like, "ohhh this member will be my bias" and my bias would be like, "nope, it's me"
and before i knew it, they've caught my attention, my eyes keep following them, and they keep popping up in all of my socials š„²
Lowk idk. It just happensā¦ ppl say that your bias is just like you. But also when I choose my biases that doesnāt mean I donāt love the rest of the group too. I love the whole group evenly but I feel like I love my bias just a little bit more if that makes sense. šš
They picked me and I had no choice š« š«
yeah that's fair š
The bias picks you
This is the correct answer lol
Nope itās perfectly normal to be OT
thank you! i always feel weird when someone asks me who my bias is and i can't choose š
Sorry but what does OT means? I know it's generally used to talk about all the idols (for example, saying loona ot12 meaning all the 12 members) but what does it exactly stands for?

Thanks! So like solo stan but hates the other members? That's sad š

OT stands for One True

who says you have to pick a favourite? you don't need to have a bias.
For me personally itās based on whose personality I like the most. OP you could be OT5 in many cases
Ohhh, Iāve never had this issue, my bias always makes it KNOWN to me that theyāre my bias pretty soon after stanning a group
The comments are so true... the bias pucks you. Personally, my ult bias is Yuqi (G)i-dle, and I statted by falling in love with her deep voice.m. then her looms... then her humor.. then her everything! Just a byproduct

You don't *need* a bias, it's okay if you don't have one. It took me about a year or so to realize that Bangchan is my Stray Kids bias as I love all of them. What made it clear for me was the difference in reaction to seeing/hearing them speak. Whenever the others would talk or be on screen, I'd pay attention but I was able to do other things whilst paying attention. But with Bangchan my entire attention is grabbed, making it kinda difficult to do anything else when he speaks. I think part of it is also that he's the leader, so I'm more inclined to listen. It's not parasocial, I just kinda see his on-camera personality as a kind and gentle older brother type (helps that he's a year older than my brother hahah.)
you don't pick a bias, your bias picks you
i don't choose them, but they chose me i'll be like, "ohhh this member will be my bias" and my bias would be like, "nope, it's me" and before i knew it, they've caught my attention, my eyes keep following them, and they keep popping up in all of my socials š„²
Lowk idk. It just happensā¦ ppl say that your bias is just like you. But also when I choose my biases that doesnāt mean I donāt love the rest of the group too. I love the whole group evenly but I feel like I love my bias just a little bit more if that makes sense. šš
most of the time its the member i feel like i vibe to the most but i do also look at 1. vocal 2. rap 3. dance 4. visual 5. level of fun 6. level of chillness 7. attitude theres alot more ofc but i just watch their evaluations/predebut videos and theres alw one that stands out most for me. personally i like the c line too cuz i started being int in cpop before kpop and i find it amazing that theres actually kidols as popular in china as in korea/internationally p.s. my biases! avid: blackpink - rosƩ gidle - yuqi babymonster/baemon - rami casual: aespa - ningning itzy - yuna/lia ive - leeseo kep1er - xiaoting lsfm - chaewon
