The fact that kpop fans have utterly different meanings for the term 'kpop' should make the reasoning and wisdom behind Namjoon's answer clear.
Some fans think Koreans singing songs is kpop, and some people even act like as if Korean is a race and calling someone not kpop is taking away their 'korean-ness' and is degrading Korea -- but then we have non-Korean kpop idols.
Or Koreans singing Korean songs -- when we have, again, either foreign idols singing in Korean or Koreans singing in Japanese, English and Chinese etc.
Then we have people who think music in Korean is kpop or popular music in Korea is called kpop -- when, not all music in Korean is kpop and kpop is not even the most popular music 'genre' in Korea.
And people really think 'kpop' is something coined by Koreans based on the industry, so it's xenophobic to question the term. When actually, Koreans call it "idol music" and "kpop" was created by the west to limit the Korean music scene. Why isn't JB called c-pop? Or Ariana a-pop, but there is kpop, c(hinese)pop, vpop etc, one for almost all Asian countries?
And are we really going to ignore the fact that the terms like kpop is used to other the foreign language, culture and race from mainstream western music industries? So don't act like someone killed your cat when some artists and fans say that the term 'kpop' does not completely define their music.

That's a valid point.
Kpop evolved so fast in the last few years that what we consider Kpop today has nothing to do with the definition of the genre 10 years ago. International fans joined tha game, english version and english album became a thing, foreign members are now a lot more regular (almost expected), western mainstream media are talking about Kpop and BTS even had a Grammy nomination !
For me, Kpop represents so much more than "Korea based" or "only Korean member" or "korean songs". Kpop is a concept, a mix of rap, pop, rnb and electro but most of all what makes Kpop for me is the concept and the creation of the group : the recruitment, the training, the selection, the roles of each member defined in the group even before debut, the line distribution, the comeback system and promotion, the mini-album/single/album rotation, the concept photos, the teasers, the fact that they need a "concept" for each comeback that needs to change or grow each time, the stroytelling, the styling, the standard.
Kpop is a combination for me. something you don't find elsewhere (yet ?) and it doesn't matter if the members are Korean or foreigner, if the songs are in english or not or if it's Korea based even !
Until BTS change their way of promoting and they truly break free from this system (if they want to of course), they are Kpop for me. And Kpop is not a bad word you know.
