is the K in K-pop is losing meaning? (bts, blackpink, wayv, exp)

does the K in K-pop stand for Korean language? does it differentiate k-pop as a sonically independent genre? or... has it become an indicator of "east-asianess"?

i know i rejected the industry and management style argument but let me know if you think it's actually relevant.
