STAYC x TLC & Boy George: Karma Chameleon, Waterfalls

In episode 6 of Apple TV+’s KPOPPED, released on August 29, 2025, STAYC performed “Karma Chameleon” and “Waterfalls” alongside TLC and Boy George.

In the episode, Boy George visited Suguksa Temple in Korea with STAYC. Reflecting on his mother who passed away last year, he offered a prayer to become “a son she would be proud of.” The song he is set to perform with STAYC, “Karma Chameleon,” was a Billboard Hot 100 No.1 hit for three consecutive weeks.

TLC said that “Waterfalls” was a song that held special meaning for a member who passed away in a car accident, and that it had never been rearranged before. The song was rearranged for the first time to perform together with STAYC. “Waterfalls,” which TLC is set to perform with STAYC, was a Billboard Hot 100 No.1 hit for seven consecutive weeks.

The final song of the episode was STAYC’s “RUN2U.” As a defining K-pop trend in 2022, the track gently linked TLC and Boy George with the royal bloodline of K-pop. Through songs like “SO BAD,” “ASAP,” “RUN2U,” and “BEBE,” STAYC has sung about sincerity. In “STEREOTYPE,” they addressed prejudice. And in “Teddy Bear,” “Bubble,” and “I WANT IT,” they explored the theme of moving at their own pace. These themes echo those found in Culture Club’s “Karma Chameleon” and TLC’s “Waterfalls.” The philosophies of legendary artists now continue through STAYC.
