Launched in 2015 by South Korean education company The Pinkfong Company, Baby Shark evolved from a viral YouTube video into a globally recognized children’s lifestyle brand. Originally a campfire song reimagined with a K-pop beat, the franchise became a cultural juggernaut after its “Baby Shark Dance” video became the most-viewed YouTube video of all time. The brand’s aesthetic is defined by its vibrant, primary-colored characters—Baby, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and Grandpa Shark—which appear across a vast ecosystem of licensed merchandise ranging from interactive toys and books to apparel and home goods.
