Apple TV+’s "KPOPPED" series promised a global pop dream: legendary Western artists teaming up with K-pop idols to remix iconic hits. But did the execution live up to the concept?
In this special CCTV x Right Back At Ya! crossover, Chris and Chantel Nicole join Joel and David to break down the full first season of KPOPPED - from the music and performances to the cultural clash, creative choices, and what actually worked (and didn’t). We’ve got opinions - so many, in fact, we fully volunteer ourselves as consultants for Season 2. Call us, Apple. We've got notes.
