What do we know about Jaden Smith & Anderson .Paak’s K-Pops! movie?

K-Pops! is also directed and produced by Anderson in his feature directorial debut. He also co-wrote the screenplay with Khaila Amazan, while also providing original music for the film. In the 2026 comedy movie, the Grammy-winning artist portrayed a struggling musician who unexpectedly meets his long-lost son after entering a K-Pop competition. Following its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, it has received a Fresh score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 41 reviews.

Also leading the movie was Anderson’s real-life son, Soul Rasheed, in his feature acting debut. In a previous interview with ComingSoon, Anderson shared how his relationship with his son inspired him to make the movie.

“I saw how naturally talented he was and how funny he was. He could dance, sing, he’d do everything. He wasn’t like, ‘try hard,’ he was just kicking it with his dad, and we were having fun. Then I saw how he was getting all into K-pop,” He shared. “So I thought that could be fun. What if I made a movie like that, where I didn’t know I had a kid, and he could be the next K-pop star? I had the opportunity to teach him about his Black heritage. He had an opportunity to teach me about the Korean side, and we could show… I could provide like a bridge and show, and do funny commentary and show, tell a unique story where I can showcase both, while also being like a father-son film.”

The movie also starred Jee Young Han (Unprisoned), Jon “Dumbfoundead” Park (The Hate U Give), Yvette Nicole Brown (Drake & Josh), Cathy Shim (Reno 911!), and Kevin Woo (KPop Demon Hunters). It was produced by Jon Berg, Jaeson Ma, and Greg Silverman. Executive producers were Amazan, Chris Bosco, Tom Harberd, Tale Heydarov, Ryan Kroft, Essad Puskar, Michael Rapino, Benji Strange, Michael Tadross, Grant Torre, Eric Tu, and Gideon Yu.
