BTS isn't alone in making a big splash in
the global music realm.
"Baby Shark" by Pinkfong, which grabbed the
attention of the world with a dance challenge
that went viral, has made it to Billboard's
Hot 100 Chart.
Seo Bo-bin gets us better acquainted with
this catchy Korean children's song.
Pinkfong's viral sensation, the children's
song "Baby Shark" has entered the Billboard
Hot 100, debuting at No. 32 on the U.S. music
chart.
This is the third Korean single to make the
Billboard's Hot 100, following hits from BTS
and Psy.
Pinkfong's "Baby Shark" which was first uploaded
on YouTube in 2016, is a participatory children's
song in which singers act out each verse with
their hands and arms.
This has led to the "Baby Shark Challenge",
in which people make their own videos where
they copy the song's dance.
The song had previously gone viral in the
UK, staying in the Top 40 of the UK's Official
Singles chart for eight consecutive weeks
since its first appearance in August last
year and ranked as high as number 6 in the
charts on January 4th, making Pinkfong the
first Korean artist to make the UK Top 10.
