Today, Apple TV+ debuted the trailer for the highly anticipated documentary event “K-Pop Idols,” set to premiere globally on August 30, 2024. This six-part series offers fans an unprecedented backstage pass to the world’s biggest musical phenomenon, providing an intimate look at the intense reality of K-pop stardom with beloved artists Jessi, CRAVITY and BLACKSWAN.
In “K-Pop Idols,” viewers will follow Jessi as she embarks on her first solo tour, CRAVITY as they navigate the pressures of impressing their agency, and BLACKSWAN as they grapple with internal tensions and dramatic shake-ups. The series delves into the personal and professional challenges these artists face — from Jessi’s reflections on life and career to the fierce competition within BLACKSWAN and CRAVITY’s creative evolution. As the journey unfolds, audiences will experience the highs and lows of the K-pop world, from international performances and family connections to unexpected news and pivotal career decisions. The series culminates in a powerful exploration of dreams, reality and the relentless drive to succeed on the global stage — as a K-pop idol.
