This is the first dilemma faced by a K-POP fan when they are deeply in love. Choosing a favorite bias or member can be a long battle within the heart. Especially when all the members have attractive visuals and great talent, making them all so captivating in your eyes. Hmm, it's even more confusing to choose a bias!

2. Can You Guess Your Favorite Idol by Their Body Parts?

Love, sometimes, can make someone feel like they know everything about their partner. Likewise, when K-POP fans are deeply in love, they can accurately guess their bias or favorite idol just by looking at one of their body parts. For example, their face, ears, eyes, and so on. It may be difficult for ordinary people to differentiate between each member of a K-POP idol, but not for true K-POP fans.

3. Easily Melted when Seeing the Visual of K-POP Idol

Some people may not care much about someone's face, even a celebrity. However, in the world of K-POP, it can be a different story. You can fall in love and decide to become a fan of a certain idol group after being captivated by the idol's visual.

For K-POP fans, being able to buy the idol's album is a pride of its own. Because, in addition to getting the CD, you can also get a photocard and photobook. Unfortunately, both merchandises are often random. Interestingly, in order to get their favorite idol's photo, K-POP fans can buy many albums until they get it. Moreover, if they are really obsessed, they may not care how much money they spend.

5. More Obsessed with K-POP Idols than Making Friends

The heavy obsession of a K-POP fan can sometimes have an impact on their social life. Rather than making friends, following the daily life of K-POP idols is considered more interesting. Especially when socializing with non-K-POP friends, it can sometimes feel awkward, because they have no idea about what K-POP fans like. For K-POP fans, making new friends feels more exciting when they find someone who is a fan of the same idol.

6. Treating K-POP Merchandise like Treasures

Even though almost every period, such as comebacks and concerts, K-POP idols release merchandise, it doesn't make fans bored of buying them. However, not all K-POP fans are extremely wealthy, so when they are able to buy one or two products, they treat them like precious treasures.

7. Tempting Friends to Become Fans of Their Idol

How much do you love K-POP idols, usually feels more exciting if the people closest to you can also like what you are interested in. One way is to tell back and forth to the closest people, if your favorite idol songs are enjoyable to listen to. Even sometimes there are those who don't hesitate to tell their delusions, if the idol is already considered as a girlfriend if their age is the same, or calling them as a child if their age is still very young.

8. Suddenly Embarrassed when Caught Being a Secret Fan

For some people, being a K-POP fan is not easy. Moreover, Indonesian society has not fully accepted this K-POP issue. It is understandable, when someone secretly becomes a K-POP fan, they sometimes feel embarrassed when caught. Especially if their level of fandom is above average, such as having a more complete album collection than fans who openly admit it. But whatever your choice is, there is no need to worry, just enjoy it as long as you are happy.

9. Suddenly diligent in working out after seeing the idol's abs
