Everything you need to know about ‘KPOPPED’:

When does ‘KPOPPED’ release on Apple TV+?

“KPOPPED” premieres globally on Apple TV+ on Friday, Aug. 29. Fortunately, every episode is available to stream the same day, so you won’t have to wait a week to enjoy the next episode. You can binge-watch the entire season over the weekend if you’d like to.

Can you watch ‘KPOPPED’ for free?

Apple TV+ currently offers new subscribers a free seven-day trial. If you binge-watch “KPOPPED,” you should be able to watch it all before the trial is over.

A subscription costs $13 per month.

Why do we recommend watching ‘KPOPPED’ on Apple TV+?

Because “KPOPPED” is streaming exclusively on Apple TV+, there is nowhere else to watch it. You won’t be able to find it on other channels or streaming services. If you’re not already familiar with it, Apple TV+ is an ad-free streaming service that offers high-quality content, from “Ted Lasso” to “The Savant.”

Apple TV

Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) is a subscription video streaming service for $14.99 per month, offering a growing slate of original series, films, documentaries, and specials. Unlike other platforms that combine licensed titles with originals, Apple TV is built entirely around exclusive programming, making it the home of critically acclaimed hits such as “Ted Lasso,” “Severance,” “The Morning Show,” and “Silo.” Its lineup continues to expand with award-winning dramas, comedies, family-friendly shows, and blockbuster original films like “CODA,” which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

In October 2025, Apple TV agreed to a deal with Formula 1 to exclusively broadcast all Formula 1 races starting with the 2026 season.

Apple TV also features coverage of all regular-season matches for Major League Soccer (MLS) at no additional cost.

On August 28th, 2026, the price of Apple TV was increased from $12.99 per month to $14.99 per month, the second increase in as many years.

The service is available worldwide through the Apple TV app, which is built into Apple devices and supported on most smart TVs, streaming players like Roku and Fire TV, game consoles, and web browsers. Subscribers can watch on demand, download episodes and movies for offline viewing, and stream in 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, where available. Apple TV also offers family sharing, allowing up to six people to use one subscription at no extra cost.

With a competitive monthly price and bundles available through Apple One — which combines Apple TV with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, iCloud storage, and more — the service continues to grow as a key part of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple TV delivers one of the strongest collections of exclusive content in the streaming space for viewers seeking prestige originals, cinematic storytelling, and seamless access across devices.

About ‘KPOPPED’

Hosted by actor and comedian Soojeong Son, “KPOPPED” gives iconic Western artists a chance to work with K-pop’s biggest stars to bring a fresh sound to familiar songs. Megan Thee Stallion and PSY also appear in the series. In the series, one K-pop group will team up with a Western artist or band. Together, they will rework an existing iconic song from the Western artist. The goal is to put a little bit of K-pop flair into every song. They’re on a tight deadline and must revamp the song and put together a powerful performance quickly.

Then, the artists take the stage in Seoul, Korea, for a song battle in front of a live audience. The stakes are sky-high because the audience votes on the best performance of the evening. The champion K-pop stars put on another incredible performance to celebrate their success.
