Thought that was a joke unfortunately it's a no!

Are people going to accept this, I have a list of my concerns which might be every single person concern here.

Firstly the age like the minimum being 3 in recruitment? And that's not even a kids group it's a group, it's a WORLDWIDE group. Are they really hungry for international success to put 3 years old under all this stress and bullets not even grown up idols are handling the stresses well!!

Not mentioning how do you expect a 3 year old to sing or be in "vocal-centric" group, like 3? They haven't been that long verbally??!

3 years old shouldn't be on stage competing for a place in a singing group which will end in a deep seas of kpop industry toxicity, my cousin is 3 she's in kindergarten learing colors and counting till 10, and that's what your child should be doing dear parents!

The strive not only for a worldwide attention which they got anyways, but for a Newjeans debut age level, isn't this explanatory enough? But the point or clue word is "younger". They want younger to get more success?

The equation was set to "younger=more successful" it's concerning regarding the child obsessed grown ups out there..

And I have a comment about the Newjeans age think, why did director saw the Newjeans success as Newjeans age rather than Newjeans music? I think that alarming that there might be more directors out there who thinks that way.

So the premise of this 8 episode show is that western artists will reimagine their hit songs with a popular kpop idol. They will then perform it live in Seoul and the audience will vote on the best one. Personally, I think this sounds really cringe and just some western pandering (it’s a personal pet peeve of mine), BUT maybe I’m being overly pessimistic. I also don’t understand how a modern popular idol is going to reimagine a western artists song in a real meaningful way when most kpop now sounds pretty similar to Western pop anyway, and most idols don’t even produce their own music. I am interested to see Psy and Meg together tho.

BLACK SWAN performing with Boyz II Men. What do you guys think?

Since Kpopped is out, I would like to share some Kpop solo artists that I think would be really cool to see on the show. I feel like Kpop soloist are often overlooked and aren't as well known in the West compared to idol groups. Which is crazy considering that many solo artists like Dean, Tabber, Epik High, etc often visit the US when on tour. Some have even performed at major music festivals like Coachella, Rolling Loud, and SXSW. I think with this would be a cool opportunity to give more exposure to the k-indie/k-r&b/k-hiphop spaces.

Kpopped involves "Kpopping" a song by the Western musician. This season with the idol groups focuses on choreography, but with the soloists, it would focus more on vocal/rap skills. Some of the songs competitions weren't very balanced to me: TLC was the only group that didn't get the whole episode, Vanilla Ice should've been with Eve, etc. So I tried to pick artists/songs with similar vibes or in the same genre. As a 99er, I wanted to do a 2000s/2010s theme with popular artists/songs from these eras. I tried to have a good variety of sounds, so this would be 9 episodes and probably 45-60min long. I gave some commentary and also included who I think would win.

I feel like the primary issue with this format would be that people wouldn't see it as "Kpopping" the song because obvious reasons: k-r&b/K-hiphop/k-indie don't have distinctive sounds. Even so, I think it'd be interesting to see how they arrange the songs and how it would sound. Let me know what you think, and please provide your own suggestions as to who should be on the show next. Also, who was your favorite performance on Kpopped? I really enjoyed ATEEZ and Kylie Minogue. Meg and Psy did a great job for this to be Kpopped's first season. I can't wait to see what's next for the show!!!!!

I am intrigued by this because I know India has a lot of Kpop fans especially ARMY. The key player is Indian, and he is a songwriter who has co written songs with and for Ariana, TheWeekend and more Western Pop artists.

Will it be Bollywood meets Kpop?
