What happens when K-pop idols and global music legends join forces to reimagine iconic hits? Chaos, chemistry, and straight-up bangers.

Apple TV+ just released the trailer for the eight-episode series, premiering August 29, which pairs some of the biggest names in Western pop with top K-pop groups for bold, cross-genre performances.

Hosted by actor-comedian Soojeong Son (Search Party, Servant), the show is led by PSY (of "Gangnam Style" fame) and Megan Thee Stallion, who also serves as executive producer alongside Lionel Richie and Korean entertainment mogul Miky Lee.

Each episode brings together a Western hitmaker — including Megan, Patti LaBelle, the Spice Girls' Mel B and Emma Bunton, Eve, Kylie Minogue, J Balvin, TLC, and Vanilla Ice — with a top-tier K-pop group, including ITZY, ATEEZ, STAYC, Billlie, Kep1er, Kiss of Life, BLACKSWAN, and JO1. The goal? Rework a signature hit into a high-energy, K-popified collaboration, all in just a few days.

Standout pairings include ITZY and the Spice Girls — two generations of "Wannabe" royalty — as well as ATEEZ with J Balvin and Kylie Minogue, and a genre-blending team-up of TLC, Boy George, and STAYC.

A live Seoul audience picks the winner of each head-to-head, but honestly, we all win when "Savage" gets a K-pop makeover and "Motownphilly" finds a glittery new groove.
