Overview
- The single WAVE, which was released Thursday, opens with the original Baby Shark melody before shifting into an electropop dance track and features Monsta X’s JOOHONEY.
- Park Geonroung, now 17 and performing as Baby Shark Boy, helped write the lyrics and says the release is meant as a new start to connect with audiences beyond his childhood role.
- Choreography for WAVE was led by TEAM SAME under Young‑jun Choi, who has worked with top K‑pop acts, and the performance adapts familiar Baby Shark moves into an idol-style routine.
- The Pinkfong Company is backing the project and is preparing a behind‑the‑scenes documentary called WAVE: Becoming Baby Shark Boy while it explores additional collaborations and a possible film tie‑in that has not been formally confirmed.
- The move recasts Pinkfong’s flagship property as a multi‑platform franchise—the original Baby Shark Dance has more than 17.2 billion YouTube views—and signals a strategy of using nostalgia and K‑pop production values to reach older, cross‑generational audiences.
