From ATEEZ X J Balvin to ITZY X Spice Girls: KPOPPED winners list, setlist guide, highlights, & all you need to know

Apple TV launched its international music competition series KPOPPED on August 29, 2025. The eight-part show unites some of the biggest names in K-pop with internationally renowned artists to give new life to iconic Western tracks.

Each performance blends different musical styles while incorporating K-pop’s trademark elements. It revamps the iconic songs through new arrangements, choreography, Korean lyrics, and stage production.

Each episode features one K-pop group and two Western artists. That group splits into two sub-units, with each unit collaborating with a different Western artist.

The units then take on one of the Western artist’s well-known hits, reinventing it with fresh arrangements and staging concepts. These collaborations push creative boundaries and merge the two music cultures in unexpected ways.

KPOPPED is hosted by comedian and actor Son Soo-jeong. Rapper Megan Thee Stallion and PSY also join in for brief appearances as co-hosts to introduce the rules and performers to the audience.

Each Western artist is welcomed by the K-pop groups in their own unique way, and every unit is given just 48 hours to prepare their collaborative stage. During this period, the sub-units spend time with their respective international collaborators to build rapport.

For example, Moon Sua and Suhyeon of Billlie took Meghan Thee Stallion to the Ramyun Library, catering to the rapper’s love for spicy ramyeon. ITZY introduced Emma Bunton and Mel B to traditional Korean tea, while ATEEZ guided J Balvin through Korean street food experiences.

Some of the performances also incorporate Korean lyrics, as seen in ATEEZ and STAYC’s collaborations. Boy George even sings partially in Korean while performing with STAYC on Karma Chameleon.

Each episode of the series runs approximately 30 to 40 minutes. All of the eight episodes of KPOPPED are available for streaming on Apple TV.
