This is jpop i guess, but this song that was used for a silly kids horror anime (kaya-chan isnt scary) is kind of a banger imo. So im just gonna share it even if it doesnt fit

No but my aunt is in her late 70s and dancing to K Pop helped her rehabilitate after dual hip replacements so I’m thankful for it.

Does it matter if it's a fictional band? Does HUNTRIX count? They're not the only one I've heard or heard of; but they do have all my favorite K-pop songs.

HUNTR/X is actually made up of three K-Pop singers. Be warned though, Zoey's singing VA is quite profane... she's a bad girl. Mira's is kinda so/so. EJAE, the one who voices Rumi, is decent.
But I get it, you meant HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys.

HUNTR/X absolutely counts! They are a fictional band, but so is 22/7. 22/7 is a Japanese cartoon band (like HUNTR/X, like Gorillaz) that, after the anime about their (fictitious) origin story did not get a second season (or even an English translation!), they kept performing together. They have a few albums out, and now they do songs for other anime.
I strongly suspect some record producer at Sony will realise they can do this with HUNTR/X and have the three girls who sing for them (EJAE and the other two, I forget their names) make a couple whole albums as HUNTR/X before the second movie is out. That is totally possible, and it's been done before.

So yeah, like others have said, if you can guess from the fact that I replied to both who said it before, HUNTR/X, mostly because of "What it Sounds Like," but "How it's Done" is a banger, too.
I also like K/DA which is another "fictional" K-pop band that has worked with Riot Games (League of Legends). I'm not a League player (though I did like the League-inspired anime, Arcane), but the K/DA song "Pop Stars" got popular and I heard it, and it's awesome, and I discovered the rest of their songs. I feel like K/DA was HUNTR/X before KPDH hit it big. It's K-Pop for people who don't know K-Pop, with more English lyrics, and a style that is both honestly Korean, but also designed to appeal to the west. It's made for a game, so maybe there's something of League in there that I'm too "normie" to get. (I at least know that KDA means the stats in a multiplayer game, they stand for "Kills, Deaths, [and] Assists (taking a certain threshold of life from an opponent but not getting the kill shot)". Here's the video for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOxkGD8qRB4
But yeah, if you liked KPDH, you can safely start with K/DA. Same energy. Same exact energy.
It's cliche AF, but BTS is the biggest K-Pop band for a reason. I actually don't care for most of what I've heard from them. But my absolute favourite K-Pop song of all time is their song "Not Today." The song is addictive. The dancing is on point. And if you enable the captions on YouTube, it has official English translations, and I like what he's talking about. Things like "Run if you can't fly, walk if you can't run, crawl if you can't walk." And yes, he does say "crow tits." Apparently it's a Korean thing. I never fully understood it. Maybe it means you're useless (because crows, like other birds, do not nurse their young, like the Western phrase "useful as tits on a bull"). I don't know. It's funny though. I feel like if western pop music was this good back in the day, I would have been a bigger fan, maybe less of a rebel growing up. Video for Not Today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DwzBICPhdM
I like a few other K-Pop bands, and I have a fledgling playlist on Apple Music I add to when I hear new stuff. It's got all that on there. It's got TWICE (and I had TWICE up there before they did a song for KPDH), Blackpink, and some others. If I could share it without my real name being on it, I would have done so already and maybe said less, but this is what you get. That said, if you are on Apple Music (or something like it), you can find a playlist of popular K-Pop. Put it on Shuffle, make a K-Pop playlist of your own, and add to it what strikes your fancy.

NMIXX for me. They are so dang talented. I'm an old metalhead but I have very random tastes in wide ranging genres, and my daughter loves K-Pop. Also, I made a metal remix of Blue Valentine

Aespa has had the most compelling releases for me, although I didn’t really dig the arrangement of their latest “Rich Man” but Whiplash is absolutely amazing. My daughter and I love Jump by Blackpink, too. I guess you can tell I’m a bit of a house and techno head by my selections there
Oh and TWICE nailed the 90s R&B vibes with “Strategy” but we’ve all seen KPop Demon Hunters so we knew that
