Yes I want 
not really a fan of the songs you listed but i do like a bit of the rock sound mixed in sometimes
Pop-rock is dead even worldwide. KPOP was just late to the trend as per usual.
Groups like NewJeans are showing that more Y2K sounds & styles are in now. Would like to see more KPOP groups try unique styles/genres like RV/BP incorporating classical elements, LSFM with reggaetón, NJ with drum n bass sorta, etc.
No thanks. Kpop is always a little behind global music trends but the trends certainly are not about pop rock, but the continuing dominance of hip hop and the growth and power of reggaeton and Latin music.
Personally I came to Kpop specifically for its r&b styles and tropes it preferred, and although I’m open to more styles and textures in music, I wish if Kpop was exploring rock, it was something better than reheated Panic at the Disco leftovers.
I like pop rock in adam lambert style not the songs you mentioned
I love when someone else brings up literally the best genre of music EVER CREATED. Gives me yet another opportunity to spam the music of my childhood and try to instill some taste in all you kids smdh.
If they're gonna do pop punk, they need to commit to the sound and aesthetic like Willow Smith and Demi Lovato did for their respective albums this year. Otherwise nah.
I honestly could care less what the trend is as long as it's not tropical house again (or country shudder).

Ditto's production is a subgenre of EDM called jersey club.
Also I would appreciate more classical music or even just orchestral elements in general. I am an absolute sucker for violin when sampled well, which is why I love Shut Down so much.
No. Rnb heavy songs are coming back in kpop and that's good
When I heard Impurities by Lesserafim and Bye Bye by Red Velvet, I damn near levitated.

So basically, global music trends are yet MOAR hip hop? MOAR reggaeton and Latin music?
Like really? How many Old Town Roads, Despacitos, and Senoritas can we do before we get dead sick of this? If we're gonna rehash the exact same boring ass trap beats, reggaeton and latin beats for the trillionth time, why in god's name can't we rehash something that was actually good? Not just good, but AMAZING??

Impurities is literally a unicorn, of the few RnB vibey songs that actually sounds good and is growing on me. 99 percent of the rest of it is just boring generic dreck omg. If everyone wants RnB, just stream your fave 80s and 90s RnB artists, i promise you none of the new stuff is any better than the classics back in the day.

I disagree with this, there's still great R&B being produced these days. I recommend Still Believe by PJ Morton and Hrs & Hrs by Muni Long.
Wait for 2024 and Day6 will comeback with K-Rock and take over the world

Bad Bunny combines all 3 of those and he's one of the most popular artists worldwide, you just don't win.

Imagine going from literal legends like MJ, Madonna, George Michael, Whitney Houston, and Bruce effing Springsteen himself, to having this dude's sounds be the most popular worldwide.
We went from this effing masterpiece, a musician at the height of his craft, painting us an unbelievably vivid picture and telling a story that resonates with EVERYONE:
To whatever this mess is that got 1.2 BILLION views on YT:
Does that mean Dreamcatcher charting?
Because if you want rock/kpop.
Pop punk has gone I think
I’ll take Bad Bunny over Springsteen if it means getting on the dance floor. Ain’t no one trying to break a sweat to Jungleland lol (I love Bruce dw)
Latin beats were meant to be experienced live at the club, not streamed online. Antifragile is for the people
I think many kpop producers are gonna crib from two sources next:
1) 90’s Raver aesthetics. Straight DnB, House, Garage and their offshoots. More simplified arrangements that have momentum and groove. Performance oriented groups will eat it up. Big pants, peace and love, leathers and NYLON (magazine and material). But NOT big house EDM like we had 10 years ago
2) 00’s Neptunes production. This will sound like 2nd gen kpop to some. Weird instruments, complex rhythms, samples and lots of kitschy GROOVE. For the brave and talented only. Pharrell and Timbalands best beats never age. BAPE hoodies, Street dance, footwork, vocal harmonies

YES YES YES. I remember hearing So Bad by STAYC and levitating when the drop hit. That's how you combine pop and DnB.
Yes and yes!!! but more rock-ish rather than punk because i'm getting fed up with pop-punk
more Tomboy and Lovesong please!! 
or...... they could try something like Rammstein that would be a sight to see 
Maybe not to take over completely, since I prefer more variety, but I would love to see more groups explore the genre.
Not only pop-rock, but also other alternative styles.

I've never agreed with you more than this post.
Most of the latin/reggaeton has nothing to do with the validity of the genre musically - it's simply groups choosing it because of the massive international audience. It's as cynical as can be. And people here praising it, exactly as expected.
Also, NewJeans being praised as Y2K is so funny to me - I was there at Y2K, and they are so sanitized to the actual RnB happening around that time (DC, TLC, Alicia Keys, Brandy etc etc and just generall all the RnB of the late 90's and 2000's), as well as dressing almost entirely different. It's faux nostalgia for people who never lived in that era.

True, I was a teenager in the 2000s and no one dressed like that lmao.
As long as it's not cutesy, anything's fine.
Yes i'm a fan of Pop rock even in Western pop
so i'm not against more pop rock in Kpop
BlackpinkHouse did you listened this one ?

Not bad, but this isnt quite the kinda rock i'd like to see. The sound i'm thinking of is a bit more 80s arena rock and hair metal like some of Bonnie Tyler's discography. Everyone knows her for Total Eclipse of the Heart but she had 10 other songs just as good as that.
That third song is one of the best songs ever made.
Literal mini rock operas, songs given longer than 3 minutes to breathe. Real songs sung by real singers with real voices telling real stories with real passion...when will we ever see this level of musicality again? 
I have been waiting years now when Dreamcatcher become trendy and chart top 10 in melon

GODAMNIT, finally someone spilling the tea
I actually came to kpop more than 10 years ago exactly to run away from that 
Yes and yes!!! but more rock-ish rather than punk because i'm getting fed up with pop-punk

ALL OF THIS, BIG YES

No love for Queen and Mr. Mercury though? 
You know, someone mentioned antifragile and yeah - LOVE the LSF project, but antifragile was a HUGE downgrade for me. It's like I can hear all those trashy reggaeton songs 
I was there when gasolina became a HUGE hit. I don't want to go back to those days. 
In my country we're being plagued with brazilian funk and it's just as bad. 
I had a breakdown and had to clean my ears today with Pearl Jam. No one cares about this stuff anymore...
Sadly it seemed like it already past it's r&b "vibe" songs now at least as a guess. Still I enjoyed it very much.
Another issue with rock trends is that there’s so much gate keeping with rock fans. Like sure, you can put electric guitars and distortion pedals all over it but you’ve got to expect backlash and fans questioning your authenticity or comparing it to some 70’s group like they’re the same thing
Historically (and maybe because they both
came from marginalised communities) dance music and RnB are more open with sharing their influence around
