CL’s talent agency Very Cherry announced Thursday that she will voice a shark character named Sharki L in the Korean version of “Baby Shark’s Big Show.” The character is described as “the biggest star in the seven seas.”

Sharki L is a Korean variant of the character Sharki B, voiced by Cardi B in the internationally aired episode of “Baby Shark’s Big Show” titled “The Seaweed Sway.” The “Big Show” version of the episode was already released in the U.S., Italy, Australia and the U.K. in April. “Baby Shark’s Big Show” is produced by the Korean studio The Pinkfong Company in collaboration with Nickelodeon.
CL made waves in April at Coachella by reuniting with her fellow 2NE1 members on stage as part of 88rising’s lineup. She is set to promote internationally at multiple music festivals later this year: Main Square Festival in France on June 30, Wireless Festival in Germany on July 8, RFM Somnii in Portugal on July 9 and Summer Sonic in Japan on Aug. 20 and 21.
