Apple TV+ is launching a new K-pop battle series "KPOPPED," featuring global K-pop sensation PSY and rap superstar Megan Thee Stallion as hosts. The eight-episode series will showcase Western artists collaborating with K-pop idols to reimagine their biggest hits in spectacular battle performances.

The show brings together Eastern and Western musical styles, with winners chosen by a live audience in Seoul. Executive producers include legendary musician Lionel Richie and media mogul Miky Lee, along with Megan Thee Stallion herself.

Production credits include:

• Moira Ross and Greg Foster
• Harry H.K. Shin and Jake Hong
• Ki-woong for CJ ENM
• Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening, and David Tibballs for Eureka Productions
• Bruce Eskowitz

This marks Apple TV+'s second unscripted competition show following "My Kind of Country" (2023), and builds on their previous K-pop content, including the docuseries "K-Pop Idols" featuring Blackswan, Cravity, and Jessi.

While the premiere date remains unannounced, Megan Thee Stallion is scheduled to perform at the FanDuel/Spotify Super Bowl party alongside DJ Pee .Wee (Anderson .Paak) and Blink-182, preceding Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show.
