Baby Shark Boy
Park Geon-roung (박건령) is the face behind Pinkfong's viral Baby Shark era and the teenager now reintroduced as Baby Shark Boy for a full artist rollout. The Pinkfong Company framed the project as its first artist push, with the single WAVE arriving on August 20, 2026 and a documentary following behind it.
That rollout lands with real K-pop connective tissue. Baby Shark Boy co-wrote the Korean lyrics for WAVE and brought in Joohoney of MONSTA X for the feature, shifting the release out of nostalgia-bait territory and into a live test of whether one of Korea's biggest internet-born IPs can convert into an artist identity with staying power.

Who is Baby Shark Boy?
Baby Shark Boy is the new artist identity used by Park Geon-roung, the child performer from Pinkfong's 2016 Baby Shark video. In 2026 he returned at 17 with the single WAVE, co-writing the Korean lyrics and stepping into a formal music rollout backed by The Pinkfong Company.
When does Baby Shark Boy debut with WAVE?
Baby Shark Boy's first single WAVE is scheduled for August 20, 2026 at 12 p.m. KST. Pinkfong positioned the release as the start of a larger artist campaign rather than a one-off anniversary callback tied only to the original viral video.
Is Baby Shark Boy the same person as Park Geon-roung?
Yes. Park Geon-roung is the real name of the artist now performing as Baby Shark Boy. Coverage around WAVE identified him as the child star from the original Baby Shark video and the lyric co-writer behind the new single.
Why is Joohoney on Baby Shark Boy's WAVE?
Joohoney's feature gives WAVE a direct bridge into the idol market. The collaboration pairs Baby Shark Boy's coming-of-age reintroduction with an established MONSTA X rapper, making the single feel like a real K-pop launch instead of a novelty revival.
Is Pinkfong treating Baby Shark Boy as a real artist project?
Yes. Pinkfong described the Baby Shark Boy campaign as its first artist project and lined up a documentary called WAVE: A Boy's Record behind the single. That framing makes the release a live test of whether Baby Shark can grow into a sustainable artist identity.
