Episode Date: February 7, 2025

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delves into the upcoming Apple TV+ reality music competition, "KPopped," which promises to blend the vibrant worlds of Western pop and K-pop. Hosted by the dynamic duo of Megan Thee Stallion and PSY, the show will have Western artists reimagine their chart-toppers in collaboration with K-pop idols, with performances judged by a live audience in Seoul. Set to span 8 episodes, "KPopped" not only showcases Megan Thee Stallion's performance of her hit "Savage" but also features her in the role of executive producer alongside music legends like Lionel Richie. Produced by CJENM and Eureka Productions, this series aims to celebrate the cultural fusion of music genres, offering a platform for K-pop idols to gain international acclaim. Though the complete lineup of artists remains under wraps, the show's concept marks a significant moment in recognizing the global impact of K-pop. With no confirmed release date yet, "KPopped" is eagerly anticipated by fans of both music scenes, following in the footsteps of Apple TV+'s previous music-centric shows like "My Kind of Country" and "K-Pop Idols."Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Yes, we are getting into Megan the Stallion and no, it is not because of music. Because as far as Megan the Stallion and her recent releases, I'm not saying it didn't impact the masses. All I'm saying is a lot of music that has came from Megan as far as her singles, as far as her albums. Let's just say the overall reception sales wise and of course quality wise is not being positively received. and I think that has to do with, of course, the Tory Lane's trial.

She definitely gets a lot of backlash, even though she was the victim, which I don't know how those two correlate, but at some point, we have to just point out how Megan the Stallion is not seen in the greatest light, even though she ended up on the winning side of that whole trial versus Toy Lane's. Now, that's besides the point. Because, of course, this segment is getting into K-pop, which is the new Apple TV show, which is reality music competition featuring Western pop stars and K-pop idols. Now, of course, this may seem like a desperation move for Megan the Stallion if you're not in the know.

So if you want to be informed, of course, you know, that's what I'm here for. So Megan the Stallion has shown her love for anime time and time again as far as having whole tracks like Otaku Hot Girl. As far as her 2024 album, Megan, that came out June 28, 2024, explicitly referring to animas like Jiu-Soo, Kaizen, and other tracks like Mamushi featuring collaborations with the Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba one could say Megan the Stallion is definitely in the know when it comes to their specific culture

and if you don't know anime has a huge influence over K-pop as K-pop in various ways is basically influenced off anime enthusiasts because of the two cultures overlapping. It's kind of like hip-hop in the NBA overlapping time and time again or just sports in general and hip hop musicians overlapping for the simple fact that there's a lot of values that both of them can relate to and admire

from one another so as far as k-pop and anime those that's why those are so significant as far as the comparisons to one another but why as meg and the stallion in the apple tv plus reality show titled K-pop was because she is the host of this show. And it's Megan the Stallion being the host along with Si. I think that's how you say PSI. I think he's the guy who made Gungham style. If I'm not, hopefully I'm not being super ignorant. I think he's the person who made a Gungham style that went crazy. Yeah, it was. Okay. Yeah. Because I was like, I'm pretty sure I've heard his name before. Yeah. So back in, when did this song come out? Because this was like a

throwback. I remember this back when I was like in like this was a while ago. 2012. Goodness makes me feel old even referring to that. So anyways, Sai is also the host along with making a stallion and the show will have eight episodes. Making the Stallion will serve as an executive producer alongside Lionel Richie, Morer Ross, Milky Lee, Greg Foster, and others. But as far as the production, that's solely produced by C-G-E-N-M and Eureka Productions. Now, of course, Megan Estallion is also bringing her musical talents to this TV show as she's performing her hit song Savage on the show,

and then she also collaborated with K-pop group twice for her song titled Strategy. So with that being said, of course, the full participant as far as the artists have not been revealed. One of the things that they're going to highlight is the cross culture between K-pop and Western music. And of course, it's to broaden the whole musical landscape and is aiming to bring more global recognition, not only to just talented musicians, but specifically K-pop musicians and their collaborative efforts with Western artists. So, of course, there's no official release date yet. I just wanted to touch on it because I think this is a very strategic move from making the stallion, just to showcase her range. I mean, she's already said time and time again, going back years now,

that she's been a huge fan of anime, even to the point where she said, like, her favorite show, I don't know if she ever said her favorite show, but she's always said that she watched anime religiously, religiously on Crunchy Role and things of that nature. So this collaboration makes all the sense in the world as far as the Apple TV aspect of it that just basically tells you that it's going to have production. It's going to be a lot of dollars put behind the marketing strategy in the overall production of the show. Once again, it's only eight episodes. We don't have a release date yet. But with that being said, Apple TV funding this. And of course, with them being involved with the Super Bowl halftime show right now, kind of lets you know that they know what impacts

the masses and how to put marketing dollars behind it and as far as production to make it look legit and official. So with that being said, Megan, And currently doesn't have any tracks charting in the top 100 and no albums charting in the top 100 or the top 50. But that is okay, right? Because this type of move will maybe bring more interest back into her musical releases because she's kind of going through a tough stretch right now, especially with artists holding it to a certain standard as far as sales-wise when you come to a sexy red or a glowrilla or as far as quality-wise and recognition, a dochi. So with that being said, I think this is a great move by making the stallion to differentiate herself, but also showcase what she's been telling us she's been a huge fan of. So that being said, click my link, sure in my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias.

What do you think about the new Apple TV show based on reality music competition title K-pop, hosted by making the stallion and sigh? And will you be checking it out whenever it officially launches?
