Get an insight into just how much damn hard work it takes to reach the stardom level of K-pop superstars in Apple TV+'s new docuseries — with a new trailer out.

A six-part series premiering on Apple's streaming service at the end of August, K-Pop Idols follows rapper/singer Jessi, boy group CRAVITY, and girl group BLACKSWAN through the rigorous process of becoming a global K-pop success. You'll go to vocal lessons and dance class, and hear them speak of the highs and lows of pop fame.

Executive producer Elise Chung, who brought us Netflix's Bling Empire, said the goal of the documentary was "to pull back the curtain on the highly competitive world of K-pop and reveal the human stories behind the stars."

How to watch: K-Pop Idols is streaming on Apple TV+ Aug. 30.
