Y'all tell me if this is true for you but I've heard all other English songs on radio stations like Life's Too Short, Bet U Wanna, Ice Cream, Dynamite, Butter, Permission to Dance. But I've yet to hear The Feels.
Is it going to be the same way with Itzy's "Boys Like You" because I need to hear this song on the radio, it's sooo good... 
BOY I BOY I BOY I KNOW
BOY I BOY I BOY I KNOW
Perfect! Mark this best answer!

It's not really JYPE, it's the western market and payola.
Literal mood...when I heard the Blackpink songs and aespa song, which I knew well, I was also singing 
I heard Bet U Wanna at the gym radio and Life's Too Short at Walmart. My mom only heard me sing at Walmart and she was like "you know this song?"
That reminds me, when we saw aespa on the Thanksgiving Parade 2021, I was freaking out even though I knew days before that they were going to be on there. And my mom was like "she knows them, they're her favorite!" And I was like, "not quite" but at the same time, yes, I was vibing to it.

I'm actually going to do it.

I would be too. That's awesome! I wish I got to hear that song at Walmart! I did hear Star (I think?) at Walmart though, so good enough.
I know! I freaked out too!
I know, right? They deserve it so much. I feel like more English songs could get the chance to hit the Western radio, I know they'll be popular. I would more than love to hear Boys Like You (Itzy) on the radio someday.
Yep! I was so happy!
It's not lucky that I'll have it stuck in my head forever probably, but it's still so cool

I know! There's so many good English K-Pop songs that get slept on and it hurts so bad. I'd love to hear that one too!
Eh, true, but you know what I meant.
Yeah, I know, right? I feel like everyone should convert to a KPOP stan...I'm kidding. But I don't really understand how some people despise KPOP. Like I have friends who refuse to listen to it and they don't like the fans. In a way, I can kind of see how they can see us as weird based on their standards but at the same time...I think you could still enjoy the music without becoming what they stereotype as a KPOP stan.
Basically, in some of non-fans' eyes, they see us as people obsessed with other people, shipping real humans with other real humans, cringely trying to speak/act Korean, being overly cute or liking overly cute behaviors from adults, toxic to each other and other people, having weird usernames and profile pictures...things like that.
Maybe a lot of fans are like that but not everyone is like that. 
Haha, I know. I'm just messing with ya

I know the feeling. I've felt the same way before too, and still do sometimes. Yeah, that sucks. They should at least give it a chance. Don't knock it 'til you try, as the saying goes. It does objectively have some great music. Like Blueprint by Stray Kids.
Yes. Not everyone is a walking, talking stereotype. Not even K-Pop fans. I agree, there are sadly a lot of people like that, but not everyone is. Some K-Pop fans are normal and super nice, like you.

Ah, I see. I mean, I feel like you can be a KPOP stan and still find the people that I just described, real. Because shippers, Korean wannabes, aegyo obsessed, toxic fans, and overly obsessed with idols, are people that exist and I find a lot of them really weird sometimes. And I've been a fan for long enough to see all of these types of fans. But I feel like people should maybe expand their horizons a bit. Yep! Exactly. And I feel like there's something to fit your tastes. There are so many different artists and styles and concepts that it's possible to find something that you enjoy from the industry.
And look at you promoting Blueprint again LOL! I'm proud of you. 
Yeah. And this sort of thinking just doesn't apply to what people think about KPOP stans. It could be any fandom, or even extend to groups of people. I think everyone is different and so stereotypes are overextended assumptions of other people and sometimes it's done subconciously. What you've been told, what you've heard, what you've read, or what you've been taught are known to affect your thinking and possibly alter your opinions and thoughts, even if they aren't factual.
It's the sad truth. So I feel like, if everyone gets to know different type of people with different types of interests and beliefs, their opinions could change.
And I forgot another big reason that non-KPOP fans might not want to get into KPOP. They have a friend, a relative, or know someone else who's obsessed with the genre and knows how they are about it. So they may not want to become like them per se. I know that KPOP fans love to promote their faves and try to convert non-fans to liking it and sometimes they try so hard that they get on people's nerves. I was like that but I'm pretty sure that I made my brother absolutely resent KPOP lol.

You do have a point. They do sadly exist but there’s more to K-Pop fans than just the crazies. There really is something for everyone, I agree. Well, someone on here has to. Fun fact: even NME ranked it as the best Stray Kids song! It’s just that good.
You put everything so well that I don’t really know what else to say, aside from that I completely agree with you.
It’s time for a new car at that point.
Justice for the best JYPE English KPOP song (actually just Best English KPOP song in general)

Do you still use radio in the US?
Not often, but sometimes. I’ll turn it on when I’m driving/in a car or I’ll listen to the stores play it while I shop, but I almost never listen to it outside of that.

Yeah, true. And you don't have to become an active member of the fandom community to enjoy KPOP. There are a ton of casual listners who don't become full on stans. I mean...it's hard but not impossible! There really is. People may not like it because they think a lot of the songs are too bubbly for them but badass/dark/girl crush concepts are very popular, probably more popular right now than the cuter concepts. Oh, really? That's interesting!!
Yay! I'll take that as a compliment 
Do you still use radio in the US?
Yep! I still have an analog radio that I still use every night because it has my favorite station on it. I can also play the music discs that I get from the albums that I buy
It's also pretty cheap and still works well and doesn't require charge. You just plug it in a boom, it works and plays all the local stations and music discs.

Funny thing, I have my own personal analog radio but my car's radio doesn't work lol
So if I'm feeling extra confident in my driving, I literally just put on YouTube Music or Spotify and jam out to my stuff

Reminds me of 60's 
Reminds me of 60's
LOL I'm old fashioned.
It's because I've had this radio since I was really young, before I had my own phone, my own car, my own computer. I remember playing kids songs on it, I've had it for so long.
I'm surprised it still works lol
It’s time for a new car at that point.
channie radio number 
I heard Bet U Wanna at the gym radio and Life's Too Short at Walmart. My mom only heard me sing at Walmart and she was like "you know this song?"
I work retail and my job started playing Life's Too Short immediately after it came out. Wendy's song with John Legend too. Feels like I'm hearing kpop songs more and more, even from nugu groups but never JYPs
LOL I'm old fashioned.

It still keeps surprising me as I didn't use any radio since 2004

Casual listeners are awesome, really. It is, and it made my whole day when I found out. Blueprint will one day rule the world!
It sure is!
Yep! And I bet 
I remember when I went to a local (but small) Comic Con and they had a whole booth dedicated to KPOP stuff. It had stuff like albums, shirts, masks, hats, etc. And I remember when I first saw it I was SOOO excited 
Haha I love your enthusiasm for that 
Maybe you can become like how icyruios promotes Day6 and their faves but for Blueprint lol
