Lets break down music genres for you guys:
Western pop- POP MUSIC written usually in English or Spanish.
Pop music- music that is popular, but has become more so music that is meant for dancing with electronic instrumentals.
K-pop: literally anything considered Pop, but in korean.
Thinking that kpop sounds “too western” doesnt make sense. Weve had Run Devil Run and Dancing Queen, both of which are considered Kpop quintessential music that were actually originally both recorded by an American and an English artist respectively (both “western”). There shouldnt be a distinction per country and what youre looking for is most likely actually classed as Hyper Pop.
