I am planning to do a Top 100 kpop song of 2021, should Day6/NF/Onewe be considered kpop ?

I am planning to do a top 100 kpop songs of 2021 but I am struggling to choose between including these groups or not. I am already disqualifying krap song and it is already hard to judge if something can be considered kpop : for example, GRAY is mostly known as a khip-hop producer but his song are very energetic and definitely sound more like kpop than krap. Ultimately I disqualified him cz I though his connection with the rap scene would lead to me including into kpop way too much artists.

Krock is another problem as the site I am using to track kpop releases do not track k rock releases so I decided to exclude them (also it's not pop of course). Day6 etc fit into a weird category, being kpop and krock at the same time so I don't know if I should include them...

pls help me

Just label it as Korean songs I guess?

I won't mind either way.

there are like 10k+ korean songs in 2021 I will die before I will be able to rank them lol

Right now I managed to limit it to only approx 1200 songs including these groups. Rn I plan to keep them
