Apple TV+’s new music competition series KPOPPED, which premiered globally on August 29, 2025, pairs Western music icons with K‑pop stars in high‑energy, cross‑cultural performances, and its fifth episode delivers a standout collaboration: Kylie Minogue and ATEEZ’s reimagined rendition of “Can’t Get You Out of My Head.”

In Episode 5, Kylie Minogue joins forces with ATEEZ—specifically the members Jongho, Yunho, Wooyoung, and Seonghwa—to deliver a full K‑pop transformation of her 2001 global hit. The performance features Korean lyrics, synchronized choreography, a vibrant ensemble, and theatrical flair. ATEEZ injects the number with explosive energy, with Jongho delivering powerful high notes amid dynamic group staging.

That same episode also includes ATEEZ’s collaboration with J Balvin on “Mi Gente,” and both performances were staged before a Seoul live audience that voted to determine the winner. J Balvin and ATEEZ’s rendition of “Mi Gente” ultimately won the round.

Online audiences were quick to react, with fans applauding ATEEZ’s adaptability, performance prowess, and how seamlessly they held their own alongside global superstars. Hashtags such as #ATEEZxKylieMinogue and #ATEEZxJBalvin trended extensively, with viewers calling the performances “historic and revitalizing,” demanding streaming releases of the new versions.

Throughout the series, viewers have witnessed Western artists including Mel B and Emma Bunton of the Spice Girls, Patti LaBelle, Vanilla Ice, Kesha, Boy George, TLC, Ava Max, Jess Glynne, J Balvin, and Kylie Minogue collaborate with K‑pop groups such as ITZY, Billlie, Kep1er, JO1, STAYC, Kiss of Life, and BLACKSWAN in similar song battles. Each duo reimagines famous hits with K‑pop style staging, choreography, and musical flair.

Since its full-season release on August 29, KPOPPED has drawn varying responses. Some outlets highlight the cultural exchange and joyful performances as its strengths, while others critique the show’s formulaic structure and lack of dramatic tension. Still, performances like ATEEZ’s with Kylie Minogue have stood out as highlights, capturing both audience attention and social media buzz.
