explanation:

the word bias is often used as a kpop reference. i actually asked the same question when i started listening and exploring kpop. there are many kpop bands, and in each band, people usually have a favorite band member. they refer to their favorite band member as their ‘bias’. if you’re using this word “normally”, it would usually mean prejudice against someone or something.
