‘Baby Shark Boy’ teen with 17 billion views returns as a singer after 10 years—first single with MonstaX’s Jooheon

‘17 billion views’—the star of the legend makes an astonishing comeback after 10 years

The boy at the center of the globally top-ranked YouTube view-hit record, ‘Pinkfong Baby Shark Dance,’ will take the mic and make his official debut as a singer after 10 years.

On the 10th, The Pinkfong Company officially announced that the boy will release his first digital single, ‘WAVE’ (WAVE), worldwide at the same time at 12 p.m. on the 20th under the stage name ‘BabySharkBoy.’ Notably, the debut track features ‘Jooheon’ of MonstaX, a group with a global fandom, who will lend a hand in a show of support—raising anticipation for the song’s musical completion.

This new release marks The Pinkfong Company’s first artist project, linking the ripple effects of a powerful global intellectual property (IP) with the growth narrative of the real performer through music. The Baby Shark Dance video, first released in 2016, has become a mega hit content that has surpassed ‘1.7 billion views’ and has held its place at the very top of the global YouTube charts for 69 straight months.

‘WAVE,’ the new song, adds extra meaning because BabySharkBoy directly participated in the songwriting. He poured into the lyrics his electrifying excitement at returning to the public after 10 years and his firm resolve toward a new challenge. Along with deep gratitude for those who remember his past videos, he said he now plans to connect with audiences not just as a boy who dances, but with his own voice and the story he wrote himself.

Beginning with the release of the audio track and music video, The Pinkfong Company will roll out a three-dimensional promotional push connecting BabySharkBoy’s past, present, and future. In addition, it will sequentially release a behind-the-scenes documentary, ‘WAVE: The Boy’s Record,’ which packs in his hidden narrative developed alongside Baby Shark in depth.
