The film boasts an impressive cast, including Cardi B, Kulture, and Offset, who will reprise their roles from the TV show, alongside celebs like Ashley Tisdale, Lance Bass, and Patrick Warburton. It follows Baby Shark as he faces the evil pop starfish Stariana, who plots to steal his singing ability to conquer the underwater music scene. Baby Shark must overcome her magic to restore peace to the ocean. Fans can catch the premiere on Nickelodeon this December and stream it on Paramount+.
Pinkfong, Baby Shark’s creator, confirmed that ENHYPEN will premiere “Keep Swimmin’ Through,” which they recorded for the movie, at the parade. Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki will perform aboard Nickelodeon and Pinkfong’s Baby Shark float, which features a huge 25-foot-long Baby Shark balloon and an 18-foot-long float that brings an enchanting underwater seascape to life.

ENHYPEN will be exposed to a broader audience
“Keep Swimmin’ Through” hit streaming platforms worldwide today, November 3, setting the stage for ENHYPEN’s forthcoming album ORANGE BLOOD. Jake told the media that “this album is our best album to date,” raising anticipation for its release on November 17.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a beloved New York City tradition since 1924, will start at 8:30 AM ET on November 23. Aside from ENHYPEN, Western artists like Bell Biv Devoe, Brandy, Cher, Chicago, Jon Batiste, and Pentatonix are also on hand to perform. Famous for its balloons, floats, and live music, the parade is a cornerstone of the holidays. Last year, 28 million viewers tuned in to watch the spectacle unfold on the streets of Manhattan.
ENHYPEN‘s performance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a significant achievement for them. It demonstrates their increasing popularity worldwide and the growing importance of K-pop in American music. By participating in the parade, they will be exposed to a broader audience. That could attract new fans and enhance their global recognition. Additionally, their inclusion in the lineup emphasizes the diversity and international appeal of the performers at this event. – K-Pop News Writer
