Apple TV+ Launches K-Pop Competition Show with Psy and Megan Thee Stallion
Apple TV+ is cooking up a new K-pop competition series called KPopped, with "Gangnam Style" star Psy and rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the spotlight, according to a press release. The show will have eight episodes, where each one features Western music superstars giving their biggest hits a K-pop twist. They’ll team up with top K-pop idols to battle it out in epic performances, with a live audience in Seoul voting for the best new “K-popped” track. Megan Thee Stallion isn't just a performer—she's also an executive producer, and she'll be performing her smash hit “Savage” on the show. Alongside her, Lionel Richie is also an executive producer, along with Moira Ross, Miky Lee, Greg Foster, Harry H.K. Shin, and Jake Hong. Kiwoong Kim from CJ ENM Co., Ltd. is producing, and Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening, and David Tibballs will executive produce for Eureka Productions, a Fremantle company, with Bruce Eskowitz joining them. This will be one of Apple’s few unscripted competition series. The company had already dipped into the genre with My Kind of Country (which focused on country music) in 2023, and they also released the docuseries K-Pop Idols in 2024. https://www.instagram.com/p/DFtXPtnSk1X/
