A quote from one of the series’ executive producers, Elise Chung:
“With ‘K-Pop Idols,’ our goal was to pull back the curtain on the highly competitive world of K-pop and reveal the human stories behind the stars,” said executive producer Elise Chung. “This series is a tribute to the relentless passion and perseverance of artists like Jessi, CRAVITY and BLACKSWAN, who are shaping the future of music on a global scale. We’re excited for viewers to experience the challenges, victories and everything in between that comes with chasing a dream as big as becoming a K-pop idol.”
Premiering globally on August 30, this six-part docuseries offers fans an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the intense reality of K-pop stardom.

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.
