KPopped
Music competition series
KPopped (stylized in all caps) is a music reality competition television series that premiered on Apple TV+ on August 29, 2025. Produced by CJ ENM and Eureka Productions, the series pairs Western recording artists with K-pop idols to reimagine the artists' most popular songs in a K-pop style. Each episode culminates in head-to-head song battles judged by a live audience in Seoul. The show stars Psy and Megan Thee Stallion and is hosted by Soojeong Son. Stallion additionally serves as an executive producer alongside Lionel Richie and Miky Lee.
Format
Established K-pop groups are divided into two subunits, each paired with a Western solo artist to reinterpret one of the guest's songs. In cases where acts like Boyz II Men are featured, the show skips having two guest artists, and each group performs twice—once with each subunit. Artists have 48 hours to rehearse before performing live for a studio audience, who then vote for the winning performance.
The series also features brief cultural exchanges, such as the members of Billlie introducing Megan Thee Stallion to spicy Buldak Ramen and Ateez joining Kylie Minogue to learn the traditional Buchaechum dance.
Production
Apple TV+ announced the series on February 5, 2025.
