K-pop is just pop music sung in korean..if some of these songs were recorded by western artists with videos and performances of the same quality as the original kpop artist people would be screaming how excellent those artists were.
I listen to Brazilian, Spanish, English, Korean, Japanese and Bulgarian music in a wide variety of genres. According to your last.fm 47/50 of the artists you listen to the most sing in English, with the others being Era, Shakira (both pretty known worldwide) and a russian singer. But we're the close-minded ones. Sure.
If all members were Korean-American/spoke fluent English and they released English versions of their albums, or promoted in the U.S., they'd get pretty far.
90% of the best music out there don't even make an impact on the charts anyways. They call keep listening to songs like 7 Years and Can't Stop The Feeling for all I care.

Most US people think they don't have to learn a foreign language because they speak english, so I'm gonna say the GP US is probably not open minded enough to give KPop a chance.
