ENHYPEN is making another big splash to extend their dominance beyond the K-pop, beauty and fashion scenes.
Following the news that the group was joining Cardi B, Offset, Lance Bass, Ashley Tisdale and more stars in the cast of Baby Shark’s Big Movie!, the septet teamed with Nickelodeon and The Pinkfong Company to launch a music video for a new single “Keep Swimmin’ Through” for the viral character’s first feature film.
In the visual aquatic extravaganza, ENHYPEN members Jungwon, Heeseung, Jake, Sunghoon, Jay, Sunoo and Ni-ki perform as both themselves and a boy band of beluga whales. The guys deliver inspiring, oceanic-themed lyrics (“So don’t give up when the tide turns against you, you know you got friends in the deep blue”) to the delight of Baby Shark and friends (with appearances by Mommy Shark, Daddy Shark and ENHYPEN superfan William).
After wrapping the U.S. leg of their Fate World Tour in October, ENHYPEN will return stateside to perform “Keep Swimmin’ Through” on Nickelodeon and Pinkfong’s Baby Shark float during the 97th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 23. Nickelodeon described their display as a “25-foot-long Baby Shark balloon and an 18-foot-long float that showcases an underwater seascape featuring the lovable Shark family,” per a press release.
The new collaboration follows the previous Big Movie music video “It’s Stariana!” that introduced Tisdale’s singing starfish character Stariana. Actors like Aparna Nancherla, Ego Nwodim, and Chloe Fineman, plus Baby Shark series regulars like Kimiko Glenn, Luke Youngblood, Natasha Rothwell, Eric Edelstein, Debra Wilson and Patrick Warburton are also on hand for the flick.
ENHYPEN’s “Keep Swimmin’ Through” releases worldwide across streaming platforms tomorrow, Nov. 3. The song comes ahead of the group’s upcoming ORANGE BLOOD album, dropping on Nov. 17, which Jake recently told Billboard is “our best album to date.”
The video will appear across Nickelodeon platforms and stream on Paramount+ leading up to the winter premiere of Baby Shark’s Big Movie. Watch the exclusive premiere of “Keep Swimmin’ Through” below:
