The closest we are getting to a Spice Girls reunion for now!
Emma Bunton and Mel B are joining forces once again to star on a new K-pop TV series for Apple TV+. They reportedly flew to Seoul in November last year to take part in a reality show, collaborating with K-pop idols.
KPOPPED is an all-new eight-episode song battle series from executive producer Lionel Richie, starring PSY, the international chart-topper who helped bring K-pop to the world with his global sensation “Gangnam Style,” and three-time Grammy award-winning superstar and executive producer Megan Thee Stallion, who also performs her hit song “Savage.”
Courtesy of AppleThe format sees western music legends reimagine one of their biggest hits, collaborating with top-tier K-pop idols to deliver spectacular battle performances, with a live audience picking the winner of the best new K-popped song.
And now The Sun has claimed that the show's star-power is even more off the chart, with Emma and Mel, both 49, also starring, as well as fellow Brit Boy George.

A music insider told The Sun: 'A Spice Girls reunion is a way off. So having Emma and Mel back on stage singing a Spice Girls song together might be the closest fans get to a comeback, even though it will be with K-pop stars rather than Geri Horner, Melanie C and Victoria Beckham.
'They flew to South Korea at the end of last year and were on set for quite a few days as they battled it out with other pop veterans.
'With them alone on board, it is a big show. But there’s also Boy George and loads of other chart-topping stars, which will be enough to encourage people to tune in.'
'KPOPPED' is set to air later this year on Apple TV+.
