First lets start with the definition of Kpop.
To put it simply, Kpop is short for Korean pop, originating from South Korea, K-pop is music sung Korean, it can go from pop to hip hop, any type of music as long as it& #39;s sung in Korean.

Now that we know the definition Kpop, let& #39;s discuss kpop groups.
Kpop group are groups that obviously are in the kpop industry, they sing in Korean and train under companies in Korea, and mainly promote in Korea, but can promote in other places (Japan, US, etc.)

Some big name kpop groups are BTS, TWICE, BLACKPINK, NCT, GOT7 and many more.
These groups mainly consist of Korean members, but there are exceptions such as TWICE& #39;s J-line and Tzuyu, Lisa (from Thailand), Many NCT members, and GOT7& #39;s rap line.

Although there are exceptions that aren& #39;t Korean, most of them happened to be from Asia, and the ones that are from America or Canada or anywhere else are still Asian.
Let& #39;s not forget the training. Training can range from a couple months to over a decade.
Training is what makes these groups, they learn how to sing, rap, dance. All around every idol has been trained whether it was months or years, they all have gone through a training process

Here are some of the longest training periods;
6 years - Jennie of BLACKPINK
7 years - Seulgi of Red Velvet
8 years - Miyeon of (G)I-DLE
9 years - Johnny of NCT
10 YEARS - Jihyo of TWICE
11 YEARS - G-Dragon of BIGBANG
15 YEARS - G.Soul (Soloist)

An average K-pop idol probably trains for 2-4 years. Training is a big part of the kpop industry.
Now here& #39;s why Kaachi is NOT kpop.
First of all, this talk about their origins, in their bio, It says that they& #39;re the first "kpop" group from London, so they originate from London not Korea.

Now, let& #39;s talk about their music. Yes, apparently half the song is in Korean (and I had to put myself through the process of listening to it), and half (MOST) of the song is in English.
Most kpop songs are mostly in Korean obviously, with a bit of English.

Now let& #39;s talk about the song.
Not only are their vocals meh at best (they clearly have not gone through proper training), the rap was weak, VERY weak.
I& #39;ll give it to them, the song had a pretty good beat, besides that, it was a mess.

now they haven& #39;t released their music video yet, but from the teasers I& #39;ve seen, they can& #39;t dance.
Now you& #39;re probably saying "how are you to judge dancing?" Well not only do I dance (not professional, but pretty good), but I also focus a lot on a choreo so I could learn it.

Anyways
Not only is their dancing not synchronize, their moves are quite stiff, apparently 3 of them used to be in a dance group called UJJN, which doesn& #39;t make sense considering how stiff they are
But this is just from the teaser. I& #39;ll have to, sadly wait until the mv to see

Now let& #39;s get to the obvious reason, why this thread was made.
Kaachi is 1/4 Korean, only one member is Korean. 2 members, Nicole and Chunseo
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😑" title="Expressionless face" aria-label="Emoji: Expressionless face"> are of Hispanic descent (Nicole from Venezuela and Chunseo from Spain), the last member Dani, is clearly white, enough said.

In conclusion, they are not kpop.
Not only because of the members, but because of where they promote, where they originated and what music they make.
If you have anything to add on, please just comment and I will add it on to the thread.
