Apple TV+ announce K-pop song battle series KPOPPED starring PSY and Megan Thee Stallion

East meets West as stars face-off in collaborative sing battles for the recently announced Apple TV+ series KPOPPED, an all-new eight-episode song battle series from executive producer Lionel Richie, starring PSY, the international chart-topper who helped bring K-pop to the world with his global sensation “Gangnam Style”, and three-time, Grammy award-winning superstar and executive producer Megan Thee Stallion, who also performs her hit song “Savage.”

In each episode, western icons reimagine one of their biggest hits, collaborating with top-tier K-pop idols to deliver spectacular battle performances, with a live Seoul-based audience picking the winner of the best new K-popped song.

The series is executive produced by Richie and Megan Thee Stallion, alongside Moira Ross, Miky Lee, Greg Foster, Harry H.K. Shin and Jake Hong, with producer Kiwoong Kim for CJ ENM Co., Ltd., with its unparalleled expertise in music variety shows and content production. Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening and David Tibballs executive produce for Eureka Productions (a Fremantle company), alongside Bruce Eskowitz.

No release date has been set for KPOPPED, but with its episodes ordered and talent on hand, expect to see the battles on screens soon.
