This is a different kind of post than I’ve ever written before in that I’ll keep it updated when things change. “My groups” is what I call those groups where I’ve taken the time to learn the names of and how to identify all the members. It’s an ever-expanding number of groups, and I will update this post whenever another group is added.
Oh, and also, this is the 100th post to be posted on this site! That’s quite incredible. I’m normally the kind of person to quickly move on from one thing to the next without giving it the proper effort (sadly), but this time I haven’t done that! I’ve stuck with it, and I’ve seen my efforts rewarded. So, thank you so much for reading guys!
I’ll be listing male groups and female groups separately, just because it’s easier that way. If I have written the opinionated profile for the group I’ll be linking to that as well, and listing the bias. The order of the ranking is not important.
(Oh, and I apologize for some of the pictures. I know they aren’t up to date, and that some include members that are no longer around. I tried, I promise)

I slept on them for too long, and eventually I had to wake up.

1. SHINee
My ultimate bias group, the one I’ll never let go of. My love for these guys is beyond words.
Ultimate bias: Jonghyun
2. BIGBANG
The ones who should hurry and get back if they don’t want to see themselves being overtaken. Come back and remind me why I love you in the first place!
Bias: T.O.P

The rising star of my bias list. But they can’t be allowed to rise any higher than this!

Bias: P.O
5. CNBLUE
One of the few that I refer to as an actual band.

7. BTOB
More adorable weirdos! Definitely the ones I’d invite to one of our infamous kpop karaoke nights.
Bias (-list ruiner): Sungjae
8. Teen Top
A shameful dirty pleasure that became a legit group to like.
Bias: Niel
9. Infinite
Thank you so much for always being there to remind me of how much of a terrible dancer I am.

MBLAQ might not be one of my absolute favorite groups, but they do hold on of the guys in kpop that can make me squeal and want to rip his clothes off the absolute most.
Bias: Joon
11. VIXX
A group that just keeps confusing me. Are you going to do stuff I really like, or aren’t you?
Bias: Hyuk
12. NU’EST
Sort of the same comment as for VIXX. Make your mind up!
Bias: JR
13. Super Junior
Doesn’t it feel appropriate that Super Junior is number 13? I swear, I didn’t plan that. Super Junior is one of those groups that I can’t really like, because they’re so silly, but that I can’t dislike, because they’re so silly.
Bias: I don’t even know

A group that everyone, including me, should like more.

I’m convinced that this group holds one of the most stunning people on the face of this earth.

19. TVXQ!
Ranking them as two separate units makes me sad, so I’ll at least put them right next to each other.
Bias (But not really): Changmin
20. B1A4
Taking the Teen Top route, going from ridiculous and fun to ridiculous, fun and good.
Bias: CNU
21. B2ST – disbanded (ish)
I’m really trying to fall madly in love with these guys. And I’m getting closer, finally.
Bias: Hyunseung

Another group going from something I can only enjoy in secret, to something I can actually fess up to.
Bias: Jeongmin (previously Kwangmin and/or Youngmin)
23. LC9 – disbanded
I’m still waiting for something as awesome as that debut video was.

There! I’m not sure how much fun this was to read, since it was more of a post-for-reference than anything else, but I hope it was at least semi-entertaining!

Hehe I like little captions you put after each group. We have a lot of the same biases!
Hehe thanks! And wow, we do? Then I guess you’re another creature of excellent taste! 😉
There’s a joke that you’ll know someone’s age based on his/her favorite kpop group. Hahaha! We have a lot of favorite groups in common and same bias too. Some second gen kpop fans couldn’t support new gen kpop groups and I think they’re just being salty. There are good 3rd gen groups as well, worthy of our support.
Yeah, this list clearly shows my age and how long I’ve been a fan haha. But there are definitely good newer groups, and I am making an effort to get into those as well!
