The boy from the massively popular “Baby Shark” video is returning to the spotlight 10 years later, this time launching his own K-pop career under the name of Baby Shark Boy. A decade after appearing in the rather addictive Pinkfong’s “Baby Shark Dance,” Baby Shark Boy is preparing to release his first single album, WAVE, on August 20. Baby Shark Boy returns 10 years laterThe upcoming release was announced through Baby Shark Boy’s official social media account, which directly tied his new career to his appearance in the video 10 years ago. The Baby Shark Dance was uploaded by Pinkfong in 2016 and became a global phenomenon, with its relentlessly catchy “Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo” refrain becoming particularly difficult to escape. Alongside performing as Baby Shark Boy, his debut project is called WAVE, with its announcement repeatedly using ocean-themed language to describe his transition from a supporting role to the main attraction.
