Kpop is just whats popular in korea….

Not really. Lots of artists & songs that are popular in S. Korea but not categorized as Kpop, so your average Kpop fan is unfamiliar with them. Kpop is one particular style of music & presentation that's popular in S. Korea.

kpop is not a particular style of music

It's just a nomenclature for what koreans call idol music over there.

It's not like k-pop is a distinct genre. It's more to classify stuff relating to idols.

A kpop idol group releasing an rnb song doesn't suddenly make it not rnb

So you would say that BlackPink, AKMU, BiBi, StayC, and NewJeans are all one particular style and presentation in music? And FinKL? And SNSD?

I have no idea who AKMU is, but the others, absolutely. They're all Kpop.
