Megan Thee Stallion, the chart-topping rap sensation, is joining forces with the iconic PSY, known for his groundbreaking hit ?Gangnam Style,? to launch a thrilling new reality music competition series on Apple TV+ called KPOPPED. This exciting eight-episode series will showcase a unique format in which celebrated western music artists will reinterpret their biggest hits by collaborating with top-tier K-pop idols. Each episode promises spectacular performances, where a live audience in Seoul will play a pivotal role in selecting the winner of the best new K-pop song, thus blending cultural influences in a groundbreaking way.

In a significant role beyond just participation, Megan Thee Stallion will take on the responsibility of executive producing the show while also gracing the series with a performance of her Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit ?Savage.? Joining her in the executive production team is the legendary pop artist and American Idol judge Lionel Richie, alongside a talented group including Moira Ross, Miky Lee, and Greg Foster.

Apple TV+ continues to expand its footprint in the music competition genre with this innovative series, KPOPPED, following the relatively recent release of the standalone series My Kind of Country, co-created by country music luminaries Reese Witherspoon and Kacey Musgraves. This earlier series featured a star-studded lineup of hosts including Mickey Guyton, Jimmie Allen, and Orville Peck. Additionally, last year, Apple aired the captivating docuseries K-Pop Idols, a six-part exploration that delved into the careers of notable K-pop artists such as Blackswan, Jessi, and Cravity, further highlighting the platform’s commitment to diverse music content.

Although the exact release date for KPOPPED has yet to be revealed, Megan Thee Stallion is set to remain in the limelight this weekend as she performs at the exclusive FanDuel/Spotify Super Bowl party on Friday, February 7, alongside renowned acts like Blink-182 and DJ Pee .
