How K is it, really?

lauradi7dwNPR, WUMB, WERS, and others are putting out or preparing end of year best song lists (or maybe favorite songs?). I listen to the radio a lot, mostly those and sometimes 92.5 The River (what does that mean?) which seems to be a franchise of some sort, because there is a different version in western Mass that still calls itself The River. I have heard a lot of songs this year that I like, but I don't know most of the artists or titles because the DJs don't tell me often enough, and when they do I don't have pen and paper at the ready. I know my favorite Kpop songs of 2025, although almost all of them are in English. Should that count?
It was a big Kpop Demon Hunters year for a lot of the world. Golden was my head song for months, but I like a lot of the other songs as well.
A soundtrack list starts here

There was a short tiktok reposted on twitter of a cute little kid singing it but I can't figure out how to link it.
Does anybody need the movie screenplay? Here it is:

J-Hope and GloRilla Killin' it Girl (not my favorite of J-Hope's releases this year, but it stuck most in my head).
Stray Kids Do it
The Do It challenge dance performed by a Hamilton cast

WERS played Billie Eilish's "Birds of a Feather" a lot this year. Why is the group name just her name (Eilish is her middle name) when her brother Fineas is part of every project? Wouldn't Billie & Fineas made more sense?
I prefer the cover by Kim Seungmin
Here's one that's not in English (except I only know the English title)
Hwasa Good Goodbye
There isn't a standardized challenge dance for it, but people have posted little skits of themselves to the music, often including the sort of hand-wavy part at about 2:20.
But here's Hwasa singing in English, for Christmas

This is K but not pop and it's not 2025, but almost (early December 2024). I have watched it a lot this fall. I think of it as the Santa's Helpers pungmul group
