To tease the collaboration, Sealook has been releasing teasers and snippets for the upcoming tracks.
For those unfamiliar, Sealook is a 3D animation series that premiered in South Korea in December 2022. It is co-produced by The Pinkfong Company, who is known for the television sensation Baby Shork, and Million Volt. According to its press release, the series is a “mockumentary-style sitcom about the daily lives of ‘fun-loving seals.’”
Notably, Sealook features a unique format – a series of 90-second-long short-form videos, completely devoid of dialogues. Despite this, it has managed to amass an impressive following with over six million subscribers and one billion accumulated channel views on its official channel in less than a year since its premiere.
RIIZE is set to release their soundtrack album for Sealook on November 4.
