2012 BIAS LIST
I don’t know the real purpose of this entry. I just have this sudden urge to see all my present and past bias in one post. I don't have much trouble with making a list but I cannot rank them, I have a headache every time I tried to do that. Maybe I can conclude something by the end of this post? Or maybe it will be fun to see the evolution of my forever weird taste of boys that keep on changing from time to time.
It's normal to be attracted to the outer appearance first, isn't it? Not particularly good looking, but as long as he got a pleasant looking is good enough for me. What makes me fall in love is really the talent or skill they possessed, be it their singing, rapping or dancing skill, owned an attractive voice, can play musical instrument, have the ability to compose song or write lyric, can act - all peak my interest at different level. Then come their personality. Personally, I'm attracted to bad boy type. But most of the time, especially once I fall in love with them, I managed to accept all of their flaws.
Well, I have classified the boys into two lists; the ultimate bias for those who I’ve been addicted to and the official bias list for those who I have a crush on. Not much different?
When people talk bad about my any of my official bias, I’ll go like this:
And when they said something mean to my ultimate bias I’ll go like this:
Now see the difference?
Ultimate bias list
1. Eric Mun
Duration: Since 2002 until now.
Love at the first sight? Yes. I’m attracted right away.
Shinhwa is the first Korean group I know and what got me into K-pop. I was really into hip hop back then and it’s only right that I was attracted to him since he’s a rapper. Moreover, he looks very delicious in every of his photos despite the creepy hairdo back then. I had to say, he’s lean toward the bad boy type. What I like about him is that he looks mysterious on stage, kind of hard to approach and doesn’t warm up quickly. He is still hard to approach now especially when there is someone he doesn’t know or not close with, he tends to become quiet and like to observe. It’s hard to believe that he’s actually kind of retarded in his own way. When he gets into those moods, I just have to keep calm and face palmed myself and never question why his name still in my ultimate bias list. But yeah, that is part of his charm. With all the epic sacrifices he made to save Shinhwa, how can I not love him?
2. Hankyung
Duration: Since 2007 until somewhere around 2009
Love at the first sight? Yes. He caught my eyes during his debut performance.
Though I wasn't a hardcore fan of Super Junior’s, Hankyung managed to catch my attention despite of being debut in a large group of people. I believe I only started to really pay attention to Super Junior during their Don’t Don comeback. At that time he got awesome blond haircut that makes me go unf every time I see him. Differ from the bad boy style he had at that time, I come to learn that Hankyung has total opposite personality. He’s shy, kind hearted, soft spoken (well, it’s Heechul’s fault that he learn how to curse), looks delicate but very strong and independent. Hankyung who can dance well, have the voice that I come to love, who often claim ‘He don’t understand Korean’ as an excuse for things he don’t want to hear or refuse to reply, whose eyes light up when he talks about his family and home, who silently tolerating all problem and obstacles. It makes me sad to see him leaving Super Junior but relieved at the same time to see him doing so well in China. I believe he’s happier there. I didn’t stop loving him, though not as passionate (wow, my choice of word, lol) as I used to be.
3. Kim Kibum a.k.a Key
Duration: Since 2009 until now
Love at the first sight? No. I even tried to avoid loving him!
I've been shamelessly stan and pimping him for a while now. I’ve post the reasons here and here, so I think I don’t have anything else to say about why I like him. How I come to love this boy? Believe it or not, I tried to restrain myself from liking him before because he’s the epitome of my nightmare - a boy who is prettier than me, acted all diva-ish and like to wear pink. Urghh. I tried hard not to like him okay and forced myself to like Minho instead but love didn’t work that way. Kibum is indeed too hard to resist. Like babycloud_ai said, he's a concoction of sweet and spicy and everything nice and nasty. Just know that I never get tired of him because Kibum is someone who always full of surprises - be it his hair, his clothes, his songs selection for his solo performance - life will never get boring.
4. Shin Hyesung:
Duration: Since 2012 until now
Love at the first sight? Of course not!
Urm, I really don’t know? One day, I was so happy that Shinhwa finally make their comeback after four years gone, and I re-watched a few of their clips on youtube and it happens to have Hyesung laughing his heart out and I asked myself, ‘Is Hyesung always this cute?’ Like I said in my previous post, he used to be my least favorite member of Shinhwa but I come to love him now (maybe slightly more than Eric? :DDDD), thanks to Ricsyung. Their tremendous relationship never fails to amuse me. I don’t know what really got me, but I really love it when he laugh carelessly or when he acted all cute or shy. He wasn’t that handsome compared to others but I think he got the cutest nose in idol history!
Official Bias List
2pm: Kim Junsu Minjun (yeah, I just have to get used to that)
I love everything about this boy. Not only he got this crazy vocal dynamic, but what makes him really stands out from other singing idol is his passion for music. He's not just an idol who shines through variety shows. Don't get me wrong, I love variety shows but it sad when more idol today surviving with the popularity of variety shows instead of their musical talent. But that's another story. Junsu Minjun is the real talent who can produce his own songs and pen down his own lyrics - the quality that not much a mainstream idol possessed. Personalities wise, I think he is quite an interesting person. Kind of annoying though, with all the age excuses he used to avoid doing works :DDD
Mblaq: Mir
Honestly, I like him because he's so funnnneeehhh! For once I don't care whether he can make music or not (lol, after so much talk about how an idol have to have musical talent). But Mir is not talentless, okay? I never heard him singing with serious manner, so I cannot judge him on that. But he can at least rap, even though it was kind of awkward when he raps in a higher note. i wanted to get to know him because god, he was so awesome on stage, so charismatic, so decided to watch him on variety shows and God, he really scared me. I mean, how can such a handsome person doing everything that can ruined his image in one show? He's just so weird and shameless and I swear I could hate him but then, he's so funny you can't possibly not loving him.
Infinite: Nam Woohyun
My puddle of grease. I fall in love with his voice almost immediately, so powerful. Honestly, I think being a bad boy or have an emotional character really suits him. No, I don’t hate his smile but when he isn't, he gave this sexy vibe? Anyone feeling me on this one? Lol. I seriously thought he's fit to be an actor (yes, more than Myungsoo actually) but at the same time, I don’t want him to go into acting line because there’ll be a lot of kissing scene and I’ll die from jealousy I want him to focus on developing his singing skill (now I sound like his manager /sigh/). And he's also not bad at dancing. How can he’s good in everything?
Beast: Son Dongwoon
Kibum said his friend is debuting with Beast soon, so I was much anticipating Beast's debut at that time. Personally, Dongwoon got an easy access to my heart since he is Kibum's friend. But even without that knowledge, I'm pretty sure he'll get to my bias list somehow. With that ridiculously good looking face, his tall built and big voice, how can I possibly not notice him?
U-kiss: Lee Kiseop
(Wow, except for Junsu, my bias list till now is filled with 1991 liner)
I really like U-Kiss but with the original member, I don't have bias member until Kiseop was made into the group. Because he seldom gets line to sing in U-kiss songs, so at first I thought he was just another pretty idol with average talent. He got a soft voice and his singing is not bad although not strong enough. But he sure got amazing skill dance. I was taken aback when I saw him performing a short robotic dance on this one show. I hope he'll get the chance to show off his dancing on stage one day. And I think he's pretty good for variety show too. He wasn't so shy and always know what to do to make it fun.
Teen Top: L Joe
I think he’s really good looking and got this strong bad boy image, even though he's short and super skinny. I get curious when people call him little monster. I guess because he get angry easily? I find it amusing how his mood can changes so fast :DDD I didn’t know much about this boy but my eyes glued on him every time Teen Top I performing. I guess that’s what bias do to your life.
EXO: Kai
Because SM was like shoving Kai to my face with all those teasers before Exo’s debut, I really couldn’t help it and he caught my attention. He reminds me so much of Taemin except that he carried more matured vibe with him. When I see him dance, he wasn’t just dancing. It's like he's performing a story with his body and expression. He gets into his own world every time he got on stage and I couldn't take my eyes away from him. And when he smile, it just crazy beautiful.
BtoB: Lim Hyunsik
I just found him a couple weeks ago when BTOB were making their comeback. Love at the first sight? Yes, because he reminds me so much of Kikwang. His voice reminds me of 2pm's Junsu Minjun and he can sing pretty well. I came across this video of him performing with a band in his school and I thought he's really awesome. What makes him really attractive is really his smile. He seems the type of person who didn't talk much and compose. I'm actually really curious of what type of person he really is. Well, I'm about to find out soon~
And that was all for now. Quite many huh? I have a few more groups that I listen to, but I don’t have bias in them like Dong Bang Shin Ki, Big Bang and B.A.P. Well, I can't conclude anything from this, can I? But I think my ultimate bias is quite worrying. They were quite a different type? Lol. Now how about you guys? Do we have anyone in common? Do share with me your bias list!
