Top 5 Groups
Most of my Twitter followers are
aware that I’m into K-Pop. It’s too obvious. I keep on tweeting about different
idols. If you’ll open my Facebook account and see my news feed, you’ll be
welcomed by articles from Allkpop and Soompi. (I unlike Koreaboo’s page because
their articles are so annoying and causes fanwars.)
I can name more or less 50 kpop
groups and hundreds of idols. Also, I listen to countless of K-Pop songs. I don’t
really choose the songs I listen to based on who sang it. If I think it’s good,
then it’ll be put automatically in my playlist no matter who sang it and no
matter what genre it is.
I’m not picky with K-Pop songs
but when it comes to group who I stan, I must say that it’s the contrary. When
I stan a certain group, it’s a given that I must enjoy their music first then
their personality and the bond between the members.
There’s only a few groups that I
really stan to the point of watching their fancams, variety show guesting, music videos, following their social media accounts and adding their whole
album on my playlists.
Most of those groups are girl
groups. I don’t know why I stan girl groups more than boy groups. Don’t get me
wrong, I’m not immune with boy groups. I also like Got7, SHINee, BTS, NCT U,
Bigbang and iKon. (I’m super close to stanning iKon. I love Hanbin and Bobby’s
personality!) It’s just that they can’t replace or even share the same place
with my number one bias group in my heart.
Anyway, here is the list of my
top 5 favorite K-Pop groups (with bias and bias wrecker) as of now:
5. MAMAMOO
 |
| Left to right: Moonbyul, Solar, Wheein, Hwasa |
I just entered their fandom
recently. I’m fully aware about their group. I like them even before; I just
don’t give them much attention. I even find it cute when they won first place
on a music show and they invited other idols to join them in their encore. Not
every group does that.

| Left to right: Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, Hwasa |
Anyway, I started loving them by
accident. Thanks to Youtube, I guess? I was browsing different songs that time
and I happen to land on their song Taller
Than You. It’s funny that they sang a song that disses their own members. It’s not often
that you’ll find a group like that.
After that, I started watching
their mini clips and their Weekly Idol guesting. They’re definitely one of the most
energetic groups I know. That’s it. I decided to stan them because of their mind-blowing
vocals and super energetic and lovable personalities.
Bias: Wheein (Jung Whee In)
I love her dimples… and height.
Lol. She’s super cute. Why did I pick her as my bias? I love her personality
the most. They’re all crazy but she’s the cute crazy type. She also seems nice.
Bias wrecker: Solar (Kim Yong Sun)
Originally, she’s my bias because
she’s the first member I’ve known. She’s the most popular if I’m not mistaken.
But Wheein came in the picture so… yeah. (Technically, Wheein is the bias
wrecker since she managed to totally wreck my bias list but since she’s my
number one bias now, Solar will take her place. You get the whole point, right?
Ugh. Whatever.)
4. EXID
 |
| Left to right: Hani, Hyerin, LE, Junghwa, Solji |
Someone told me to watch their
Showtime because it’s funny. At first, I don’t really like to watch it since I
don’t like Hani. I remember her as the one who got viral because of their
slightly off dance step. Whenever I see articles about her (and her beauty
which I can’t appreciate back then), I just rolled my eyes. What makes her special?
Out of curiosity, I decided to
give EXID showtime a try.
 |
| Left to right: Hyerin, Solji, LE, Hani, Junghwa |
I was infected by Hani
syndrome. I, then, realized that they are worth the love and attention they’re
getting. They became popular with the help of Hani’s fancam, but they really
deserve it.
It was shown in EXID showtime how
close they are with each other. Plus, they are a fun group. They’re not afraid
to show the camera their good and bad sides. They also inspire other groups and
believers out there to keep fighting for their dreams even if sometimes it seems hopeless. Even though they don’t
gain much attention before, that didn’t stop them from performing. Even though
half of the old members of EXID decided to leave the group, Hani, LE and
Junghwa kept their ground and decided to keep on going.
Bias: Hani (Ahn Hee Yeon)
Okay. I take back everything I said
about her before. I know why people love her. It’s because she’s one of the
most real idol today. While most girl idols are too busy protecting their image, Hani,
on the other hand didn’t seem to bother. How often can you call a female idol oppa? Yes, Hani is called as Hani Oppa by L.E.G.O. (EXID’s fandom name)
She acts like a guy but when she started performing, her female aura is
overflowing.
Bias wrecker: LE (Ahn Hyo Jin)
She looks like a cold person, but
in reality she’s sweet and lovable. She may act like she don’t care, but she
really does. And I love how she raps. Haha.
3. Girl’s Generation (SNSD)
 |
| Standing from left to right: Yuri, Tiffany, Sooyoung, Hyoyeon Sitting from left to right:Taeyeon, Sunny, Seohyun, Yoona |
I can’t remember when I started
stanning this group. I wasn’t into K-Pop before but I already listen to their songs.
Thanks to Myx, I guess. So when I started loving K-Pop more than what I
expected, I decided to watch their MVs, variety show guesting and reality
shows.
With their appearance, most of
them started to have a career on modelling and acting. And even though they’ve
been in the game longer than most active girl groups now, they’re still on the
lead. (Most haters won’t agree with me here but I don’t mind. You could ask for
Google’s help for confirmation.)

Contrary to their appearance
(modest, sophisticated, and elegant) they are actually huge dorks. I consider
them as one of the dorkiest groups today. You could search for their videos on
Youtube and watch their variety show guestings and reality shows to check if
they’re really dorks.
One thing I also love about them
is that they’re versatile. They don’t stick with one genre. And whatever genre
they choose to perform, they’ll always slay.
Bias: Yoona (Im Yoona)
She’s the first member I’ve
known. She’s always at the center of their performances so I find her easier to
remember than the other members. Most people say that she’s just pretty and she
has no talent, but I beg to disagree. Yes, she’s pretty. It’s given. Her visual
is overflowing. But she’s not just a pretty face. She can dance, too. She’s not
as good as Hyoyeon but if you’ll watch her dance, it seems like she makes the
dance step easier. She can’t sing like Taeyeon, but her voice ain’t that bad.
She has a really sweet and calming voice. (Check her solo song Deoksugung
Stonewall Walkway.) She can act, too and she’s good with variety shows. Her
personality is a bonus. Despite having that pretty face, she’s not afraid
to show her dorky side.
Bias wrecker: Taeyeon (Kim Taeyeon) and Sooyoung (Choi Sooyoung)
I’ll start with Taeyeon. She has
a lot of haters and I don’t even know why. If it’s because of her nose, then
that’s the pettiest reason to hate a person. If you'll tell me that she kicked Jessica out of the group, come on, dude! As if she has the power to do that. (What’s to hate about her?) She
sings really well. You could feel the emotions in her songs. She’s also funny
if she wants to be.
As for Sooyoung, I like her
because she’s so funny. She’s the second dorkiest in this group. (After
Hyoyeon.) She could make people laugh without trying too hard.
2. Red Velvet
 |
| From left to right: Wendy, Seulgi. Irene, Yeri, Joy |
I’m not one of those red velvet
stan who liked them immediately, though they already catch my attention even
before they debuted. When I saw their teaser for Happiness, I was so confuse who is who. For an SM group, I thought
their debut song is good, but not that great.
Then they added another member.
At first I was a bit confused why they added Yeri in Red Velvet, but I read something
that says that Yeri should really be in Red Velvet. They just waited for her to
be a little bit older (one year older.) That’s the reason why she’s included in
the first few seconds of Happiness MV.

It was Ice Cream Cake era when I
started to really stan them. I started watching videos about them on Youtube
and other Korean sites. I even downloaded all of their songs and I constantly
check updates about them.
They’re known as a visual group,
but I also consider them as a talented group. They’re popular today not because
they’re in SM but because they’re really talented. They could kill any genre.
For a rookie group, they’re not afraid to experiment different genres.
Bias: Seulgi (Kang Seulgi)
She’s all in one. What can’t she
do? She’s close to perfection. She’s so good in singing. She’s great at
dancing. She can rap, too. Her visual is no joke. You can take a picture of her
sitting, standing, walking or doing totally nothing but she can make it look
like a damn photoshoot. She’s really kind, too, that’s why people are so fond
of her. These are the reasons why she’s my ultimate girl bias.
Bias wrecker: Joy (Park Sooyoung)
All members of Red Velvet are
bias wrecker. But as of now, I think Joy is the most bias wrecker of them all. Out of all the members, I love her voice the most. Don’t get me wrong. I love
the voice of Seulgi and Wendy, too, but Joy’s voice is different. Aside from
her voice, her personality is really adorable.
1. EXO
 |
| Standing from left to right: Sehun, Chanyeol, Lay, Xiumin, Suho, Chen Sitting from left to right: D.O., Baekhyun, Kai |
EXO is the only boy group who
made it on my list. It’s because EXO is my bias group and the group
that brought me to K-Pop. If you’ll ask me to pick one and only one group, I’ll
choose EXO in a heartbeat. No but’s. That’s automatic. My love for this group
is no joke.
If you’ll tell me that I only
stan this group because they’re attractive, then you clearly don’t know them.
Yes, they’re attractive, but they’re so much more than just a pretty face. They
can sing, they can rap, they can dance and they can act. Don’t even bother to
argue. Your opinion is irrelevant. Lol. There are better artists than them but
in my heart they’ll always be the best.
I’ve been in this fandom for
years. They’ve encountered too many issues. Three members left already (I still
love them and for me they will always be a part of EXO.) But the mere fact that
EXO remain standing tall despite the issues, the criticisms, the pain and so
much more, made me love them even more.
Bias: Baekhyun (Byun Baekhyun), Lay (Zhang Yixing), Chanyeol (Park
Chanyeol)
Chanyeol has been added on the
top spot for my bias not too long ago. Well who wouldn’t love him, anyway? He’s
so tall and handsome as hell. (Credits to Taylor Swift’s Wildest Dreams. LOL.)
Aside from his outer appearance, he’s also funny and kind. And he’s EXO’s
number one fan. Ha!
As for Baekhyun, he is your bias
even if he’s not your bias. I don’t understand how people could hate this
little ball of sunshine. He has a bright personality and even though he joke a
lot, he never fails to show his appreciation to the other members and EXO-Ls.
Yixing! This guy deserves all the
love in the world. He’s so kind and polite. He’s hardworking too and he does
everything to make us, EXO-Ls, happy. Some people doesn’t appreciate him, they
criticized him and they’re saying that he’ll leave just like what the other Chinese
members did, but despite all of it, he still shows his love for EXO. And it’s
Zhang Yixing, bruh. If you know him, you know that he’ll stay.
These three are like wolves when
they’re on the stage but act like cute puppies outside the spotlight.
Bias wrecker: Sehun (Oh Sehun) and Kai (Kim Jongin)
Every members of EXO are bias
wreckers but the maknae line stood out for me.
Sehun’s sassy attitude despite
being the youngest is too cute. His love for his hyungs are also admirable. And
I won’t get tired saying that Oh Sehun is like a work of art. As for Jongin,
his laugh is too adorable. And whenever he smiles you'll have this urge to put
him in your pocket. He’s so charismatic on stage but too cute when he’s not on
stage.
So that’s it. That’s my top 5
favorite group and I don’t think this ranking will change anytime soon.
