Kylie Minogue's eight-word approval of 'perfect' new reality series

Apple TV+ viewers have been going wild for a new "perfect" singing reality series on the hit platform.

And one person who certainly approves of the star-studded show is pop icon Kylie Minogue. KPOPPED sees global music icons team up with world-renowned K-pop idols for spectacular song battles, performing their biggest hits with a K-pop twist.

Taking part in the new series, is superstar and pop legend Kylie, 57, who finds herself working with South Korean boy band ATEEZ, where some members of the group perform legendary hit Can't Get You Out of My Head with Kylie whilst serving a K-pop remix.

The eight-part series, from executive producers Lionel Richie and Miky Lee, sees each episode hosted by Soojeong Son and it features two Western music icons — from Patti LaBelle to Boy George, Kesha to J Balvin and Megan Thee Stallion to some members of the Spice Girls — paired with a top-tier K-pop group, including ITZY, Billlie, BLACKSWAN, and STAYC.

The K-pop group divides into two units, each collaborating with one of the guest artists. They have just hours to reimagine a global hit, as well as working on choreography, vocals, and visuals to dazzle the audience while performing it live on stage. K-pop fans are then asked to select the winning collaboration.

Kylie, who was one of the first stars to be recorded for the show, was instantly impressed with the series as she delivered her approval with a sweet message of encouragement.

In an exclusive interview to reflect on new series KPOPPED, executive producer Moira Ross recalled how the team felt after getting Kylie's "blessing".

Moira, whose work also includes The Voice UK, The Masked Singer and Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas, told us: "It was so lovely to see Kylie again. She's as brilliant as ever and great fun.

"You know, when she came off, Kylie's act was one of the first that we made and we were just catching up off-stage afterwards, she was like: 'I think you've got something really special here.'

"That was a great way for us to kick off the records for the season. I was like: 'If I've got Kylie's blessing, this has got to be good!'"

Talking about the filming process, Moira admitted it's the "fastest turnaround" she's ever done in her impressive career. She said: "The Western stars would arrive and we would have approximately 48 hours! They'd arrive, they'd maybe get their bearings, they'd get to rehearsals and they were straight into work with the K-pop bands.

"There would be some sort of relief in terms of that experience of seeing some of the sights of Seoul and the cultural exchange. Then we'd rehearse again and next day we're in studio, so rehearsing on set and they're in front of that live audience of very excited K-pop fans."

Moira added: "It's the fastest turnaround I've ever done in terms of these entertainment productions but because of their level of stardom and professional capacity, they could pick it up like that and they all work so hard so it all fell into place."
