[Misc] Bias Power Rankings VI: Fall 2016

Welp, I was planning to delay this piece until towards the end of the year, but to say I've not been productive is an understatement. So, here is the final edition of my Bias List for the year 2016. In this edition, we'll see some new faces rise and familiar faces fall. Like last time, we'll have some notable mentions who didn't quite make the list.

Honorable Mentions: Suzy / Choa / Victoria / Irene

Suzy's rumored solo debut is certainly enough to maintain her position, and acts as the preview to her future off the sinking ship that is miss A. Choa's stock plummets mainly due to other AOA stars rising. Yuna and Chanmi have been fierce on the Instagram game, and Choa's recent bangs don't help (what a disaster). The duo of Victoria and Irene remain just outside the rest, the former suffering from a lack of a comeback and the latter because her comeback wasn't anything special. Still, their visuals continue to destroy everything in their path.

12. Kyungri (-1) / 11. Chorong (NEW) / 10. Sojin (-1) / 9. Yuju (NEW)

Kyungri barely hangs on by a thread, as 9MUSES is likely the next girl group to conclude their act. Chorong joins the fray with A-Pink's return, and her combination of visual and voice is quite elegant. I'm still holding out hope for Sojin and Girl's Day, but her eternal youth and cute antics in variety hold down the fort until their comeback. A fresh face was needed, and Yuju was happy to supply that demand. She's got wonderful energy in her personality and voice, making her the spotlight of GFriend.

8. Hwasa / 7. Eunji (+3) / 6. Hani (+1) / 5. Hyejeong

Mamamoo's stock continues to rise, and Hwasa's collaboration game has been on fire lately. She's enjoying success everywhere. Meanwhile, after sitting in 10th for what seems like forever, Eunji earns a much-deserved bump because she overshadows everyone else in her group. Hani's unstoppable personality continues to sustain her in the middle of the list, and Hyejeong might have solidified her spot at #5. She has an amazing figure and definitely my favorite member of AOA.

4. Soyu / 3. Wheein / 2. Bora / 1. Taeyeon

I'm almost secretly rooting for some new member to show up out of nowhere to usurp this final four, who have reigned supreme for almost a year now. The only chance these spots change is if some rookie steals my heart, or if I suffer a coma and forget about everyone (even then that's debatable). By this point it's like their names are cemented in place - at least Taeyeon certainly is. The Sistar visual / wombo combo continues to stand strong, and maybe Wheein has a small chance to overtake with Mamamoo's impending comeback.
