The Grammy Award-winning performer said he and his son starting messing around with skits when getting started and .Paak realized his son was gifted as an improviser. \u201cI started getting super into it. I was filming all of them and I was staying up super late to edit the videos so we could post them,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cAround this time, my whole house was obsessed with K-pop.

I\u2019m like, \u2018You know about BTS. What about BET?\u2019\u201d he added. \u201cI thought this could be a funny story: What if I wasn\u2019t involved in my son\u2019s life, he was raised in Korea, and I found out about him later and we have to learn about each other\u2019s cultures.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tK-Pops! was co-written by .Paak and Khaila Amazan and is expected to be released in January 2026.
