Theory about Biases Theory
So I’m a baby ARMY (around a month). When I discovered BTS, I was at home recovering from surgery. I’m an older ARMY (in my 40s). I quickly realized my bias - JIN. Now, I didn’t have anyone to talk to about my new obsession so I was bursting when I finally went back to work.
Luckily I work at a school, so I quickly found the ARMY pre-teens and we started gushing. I’ve never seen them so animated! They asked me who my bias was and I told them. They all shrieked in judgment and collectively tried to convince me that liking Jin is weird and that Jungkook was the ONLY one worth talking about. (Teenagers, LOL)
First of all, I was shocked bc I didn’t know how popular Jungkook was and that a Jin bias is a bit of a minority (maybe?). My solo discovery into the BTS realm led me to believe the only obvious bias was Jin.
During this hot discussion, I saw one girl jumping down my throat. I asked her what she thought. And in a totally serious tone says - “It makes sense that you like Jin, he’s the oldest one and you’re the oldest person at this school.” Brutal! She proceeds to tell me that older people like Jin and young people like Jungkook.
So tell me - is her theory true? Do you’ll think that younger ARMY lean towards Jungkook and older ones to Jin?

First of all, i just want to preface this by saying, I think they’re all amazing and the group isn’t complete without all seven of them! That being said, I don’t think I agree with that theory, however I think I heard/read somewhere (I apologize but I can’t remember where, so take this with a grain of salt) that statistically tae and jk are the most “common” biases. Of course, that doesn’t factor in any bias wreckers or any other data, since I’m sure there’s a lot of young people whose bias is jin, so I’m really not sure on the whole situation. Just wanted to share my thoughts, thx for reading!
