so i'm from the us and despite people making it seem like kpop is really big here, i still think it's very niche.
It’s gotten more popular in the last few years for sure. Amongst teenage girls it’s pretty big but less so in other age groups etc..
Adults will not be familiar with it unless they have kids who are into it. And if you’re not a kpop fan you won’t know the names of any groups
I actually met a lot of people my age and even older who are into kpop. Its just that they don't talk about it directly, we usually get to the topic later on. I even know people in their 30s who like kpop.
I think that the difference is that kpop is not the only genre they (me included) listen to. Most people only follow their faves since ages ago and that is it. Also, there are so many other topics to talk about.

I know a couple of people my age who are into kpop too but it's not common the way it is for those 5+ years younger than me.
Just the other day saw some teens dancing to BTS songs in Darling Harbour.
That's cool.
