Got it: 편애.

Found it after searching for translations of "favoritism" (a more accurate translation) instead of "preference", which is 선호.

Right, “편애 (偏愛).” It has the same characters and the same meaning.

@КонстантинВан Thank you! By chance, do you know any good Sino-Korean dictionaries? I feel it should be straightforward to look up such correspondences.

Sorry, just moved my comment to your answer. For Sino–Korean dictionaries, well, I use Naver Korean/Chinese/Hanja dictionaries and Wiktionary.
