Apple TV+ will launch its new music competition series “KPOPPED” on August 29, unveiling a trailer this Friday that gives a first look at the show’s high-profile collaborations.
First announced in February, “KPOPPED” pairs famous K-pop groups with international stars to reinterpret each other’s hit songs. Each episode follows a team as they prepare a joint performance under tight time constraints, with a live audience in Seoul voting to decide the winner. Episodes conclude with a final stage by a K-pop group.
The eight-episode series is hosted by actress and comedian Suzy Son, and executive produced by Lionel Richie and CJ Vice Chairwoman Miky Lee.
The K-pop lineup includes PSY, ITZY, KEP1ER, ATEEZ, STAYC, and KISS OF LIFE. They’re joined by global artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Patti LaBelle, Spice Girls members Melanie B and Emma Bunton, Vanilla Ice, Kesha, Kylie Minogue, Boy George, TLC, Jess Glynne, and Boyz II Men.
Viewers can expect fresh takes on iconic tracks like “Savage,” “Wannabe,” “Ice ice baby,” “Lady Marmalade,” “Can’t get you out of my head,” and “Waterfalls.”
“KPOPPED” will stream worldwide on Apple TV+ and will also be available on the Apple TV app for Android, as well as on the Korean streaming platform TVING.
