What's the most unexpected place where you encountered kpop?

The tv news talked about Rose debut as a solo lol like.. in latin america

The thumbnail of K/DA feat Twice - I'll show you color coded on my professor's powerpoint presentation

I think I heard k-pop playing somewhere random. Or maybe it was in my dream. Idk. It's very vague.

Just driving down the road, blaring in someone's car LOL. It's not that common up here in Northern Michigan.

A girl I knew had a cheap rip-off knock-off kpop merch backpack of U-Kiss and she literally only bought because it looked “pretty cool“ according to her

It wasn’t-

EXO's been through played in my H&M

SNSD being played on an LG TV in a store years back (shame lg TVs were kinda meh back then lol).

my gym teacher assigned us a 27 minute kpop workout for our zoom class... i'm sure all the kids who are like "kpop is gay" hated it

i saw super junior mr simple MV being played on literally every LG/Samsung screen at our local walmart, that was years ago like maybe 9 years ago.

Tzuyu's Taiwanese flag scandal on the news?

"16 years old causing an outrage in China" kind of clickbaitty dontcha think?

Yah they did, I only saw SNSD one. Ngl I spent a good few minutes literally just standing there and looking at the ad. 2 assistants even came over and asked me if I was looking to buy any TVs lol

In my local supermarket, they were playing Boy with Luv. I like that song so naturally started singing along to it, quietly of course.

I saw TT in my friend's playlist who is a fan of metal/rock music

Heard a BTS song playing in the mall

Edit: probably not the most “unexpected” place to hear a k-pop song, but I still was shocked👍🏼

Dynamite playing in Zara in Sydney CBD 2 hours ago.

teacher's room

Paper Cuts by Cbx in Tesco. It was the first time I heard a Kpop song there.
