My dad was listening to random music downstairs and then Ice cream by BLACKPINK came on but he wouldn’t say it’s Kpop.... so I have to ask the experts to know
For me if there is not a single word of Korean then it’s pop. It doesn’t matter who’s singing it. For example, Japanese idols like Sana, Momo, and Mina sing songs in mainly Korean but they are considered kpop idols, not jpop ones.
pop made by a korean idol
Just like Kaachi and Exp Edition are considered Kpop even tho there are no korean members, it is becuse they sing/rap in korean
the only difference between k-pop and pop is the language barrier

I think it’s k-pop.
No matter what language the song is performed in it’s kpop if the group performing it is a kpop group. Actually no let me rephrase that, Any English song made/released/performed by a kpop group is still considered kpop, Japanese and Chinese songs by Kpop groups also sort of change their group as most kpop groups are also jpop groups.
You also have to take in mind that pop is a “sub genre” of kpop. K-pop isn’t just pop but pop, hip-hop, rap, edm, dance, etc.
So technically Ice Cream would be K-pop but also pop as it’s the other genre of the song and Selena Gomez is in the song (That’s my final answer)
I've been wondering this for a while too, but I think it would be considered K-pop if it were originally made and sung in Korean, but if it was not, it would be considered pop
I think what makes a song kpop is the korean lyrics so a fully english song is more like a pop song but if it has korean lyrics then it's kpop. For example Ice Cream is kpop because there's Lisa's rap in korean and it's a Blackpink song (a kpop girl group) with Selena Gomez just featuring in it.
, but I thing it's pop
