Inside Apple TV+’s new ‘K-Pop Idols’

K-pop’s upbeat music and imagery contrasted with rigorous training systems for its artists make stories about the “dark side” of the industry irresistible. Apple TV+’s new six-part docuseries “K-op Idols” does a good job balancing the narrative, touching the darker aspects of strict beauty standards and a fanatical pursuit of perfection as well as its joyous flip side: dreams realized against near impossible odds.

In a follow-up conversation over email, the directors said one of the greatest challenges while shooting over such a long period was “splitting the crew, racing around Seoul to cover multiple shoots at the same time,” noting that the K-pop industry moves much faster than those in in the West and keeping up the differing groups' schedules was challenging. Production also followed its subjects across Europe and the U.S., with the core crew including a mixture of Korean Americans and locals.
