Apple TV+ is turning up the global volume with ‘KPopped,’ a high-energy, eight-part song battle series starring “Gangnam Style” icon Psy and three-time Grammy-winning superstar Megan Thee Stallion, who also serves as executive producer.

All eight episodes of ‘KPopped’ is out now on Apple TV+.
Hosted by actor and comedian Soojeong Son, ‘KPopped’ transforms collaboration into competition as major Western stars team up with K-pop groups to reimagine one of their biggest songs.

The K-pop idols then bring the house down with an unforgettable closing number.
The lineup reads like a dream collab list: Billlie, Itzy, Kep1er, JO1, Ateez, Stayc, Kiss of Life, and Blackswan join forces with Megan Thee Stallion, Patti LaBelle, Spice Girls’ Mel B and Emma Bunton, Vanilla Ice, Taylor Dayne, Kesha, Eve, J Balvin, Kylie Minogue, TLC, Boy George, Jess Glynne, Ava Max, and Boyz II Men.
