Kylie Minogue just can’t get ATEEZ out of her head in a performance from Apple TV+’s new music competition series KPOPPED. The show executive produced by Lionel Richie and Megan Thee Stallion teams K-pop idols including Billlie, ITZY, JO1, STAYC, Kiss of Life and BLACKSWAN with Western music icons such as Kesha, Boyz II Men, Spice Girls Mel “Scary Spice” B and Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton and J Balvin to reimagine some of their biggest hits.

In episode five, Australian pop queen Minogue — dressed in a yellow and black striped dress with a red and white bottom striped edge and knee-high leather boots — does a sultry back-and-forth with four of the eight-member boy band ATEEZ’s singers on her iconic pop smash “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” which hit No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2002. The group’s members respond in kind, crooning the song’s longing lyrics in Korean at Minogue as the studio audience lose it and their other four bandmates, and J Balvin, look on with big smiles from chairs just offstage.
The show’s performance are judged by a live audience in Seoul, South Korea, with Megan and “Gangnam Style” K-pop OG PSY appearing alongside host actor/comedian Soojeong Son (Search Party). All eight episodes of the series dropped on Friday (Aug. 29) and feature Western pop stars and K-pop groups reimagining their biggest hits and then performing them live with little rehearsal time.
After each song battle, a winner is chosen and the K-pop idols end each episode with a performance, including their K-popped versions of the guest artist’s signature songs. Among the collaborations fans can watch are: Megan Thee Stallion and LaBelle with Billlie (on “Flipping a Coin,” “Savage” and “Lady Marmalade”), Mel B and Bunton with ITZY (“Gold,” “Wannabe” and “Say You’ll Be There”), Vanilla Ice and Taylor Dayne with Kep 1 er (“Wa Da Da,” “Ice Ice Baby” and “Tell It To My Heart”), Kesha and Eve with JO1 (“Love Seeker,” “Joyride” and “Let Me Blow Ya Mind”), J Balvin and Kylie Minogue with ATEEZ (“Bounce (K-Hot Chili Peppers),” “Mi Gente” and “Can’t Get You Out of My Head”) and more from TLC and Boy George with STAYC, Jess Glynne and Ava Max with Kiss of Life and Boyz II Men with BLACKSWAN.
