    SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pinkfong Company, the global entertainment company behind Baby Shark, today announced a special collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), one of the world's most renowned orchestras with a legacy that involves some of the most highly regarded musicians of all time. Together, they are releasing a new orchestral version of Baby Shark worldwide on September 19, followed by Bebefinn Medley later this year.

    The release is offered as both a full-length vinyl album, Baby Shark 10 Years, featuring 20 tracks, including the new LSO version of "Baby Shark," and a standalone digital single now available for pre-save on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and more.

    Recorded and filmed at LSO St Luke's, the orchestra's own unique and nearly 300-year old venue in central London, the music was arranged and conducted by Kyle Gordon, whose credits include Oppenheimer, Bridgerton, and Frozen II, and who in 2024 received a Billboard Award for #1 Classical Album with the LSO. His involvement adds further depth to a crossover that bridges audiences across generations and genres. Moreover, the LSO's belief that "extraordinary music should be available to everyone, everywhere" perfectly aligns with The Pinkfong Company's mission of delivering joy through music to fans of all ages and backgrounds worldwide, underscoring the significance of this collaboration.

    "Baby Shark has always been about spreading joy through music, and we are thrilled to reinterpret it together with the London Symphony Orchestra, a world-leading orchestra with over a century of musical heritage," said Gemma Joo, Chief Business Officer at The Pinkfong Company. "We hope this collaboration serves as a special gift to Baby Shark fans around the world as we celebrate its 10-year journey."

    The release is accompanied by two music videos, allowing fans to experience the collaboration visually as well as musically. The Live Performance Version showcases the LSO's artistry on stage, while the Animated Version highlights Baby Shark's playful storytelling with vibrant visuals. Looking ahead, the partnership will expand with orchestral arrangements of Bebefinn Medley, set to premiere in both live performance and animated versions in November 2025.

    The Pinkfong Company has been rolling out a wide range of 10-year anniversary initiatives, from special albums and new content releases to immersive onsite activations that have engaged fans around the world. The company will continue engaging fans with further collaborations and events scheduled for later this year, offering global audiences more opportunities to celebrate and enjoy a decade of Baby Shark.

    Baby Shark Teams Up with the London Symphony Orchestra for a 10-Year Celebration

    Baby Shark Teams Up with the London Symphony Orchestra for a 10-Year Celebration

SANYA, China, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Orange Lion Sports (formerly Alibaba Sports), a global sports event operator, is redefining how major athletic competitions and tourism converge through the coordinated integration of digital platforms and consumer services. The recent 2025 Hainan (Sanya) Marathon, supported by the company, showcased an "event-as-journey" experience that delivered a professionally operated, high-quality racing platform while supporting measurable economic growth for the host city. The marathon saw hotel occupancy in Sanya soar to 92%, with a notable 35% surge in spending at local businesses along the race route, establishing a promising blueprint for the scalable "racecation" model.

"We are committed to creating lasting value for athletes and sports enthusiasts," said Yang Yong, General Manager of Events and Commercialization at event partner Orange Lion Sports. "We activated resources across the Alibaba ecosystem, including Taobao, Fliggy, Alibaba Health, Ant Chain, and Amap, to extend engagement beyond race day. This approach attracted runners from across Hainan, other parts of China, and overseas, while encouraging additional event-related spending."

The provincial tourism and sports department has introduced funding incentives for 2026 sports events to attract national and international competitions. Orange Lion Sports has demonstrated how large-scale events can generate sustained economic activity and benefit local businesses by digitally integrating dining, lodging, transportation, entertainment, and shopping. In partnership with Taobao, the company launched a "Winter Warm-up Festival" that distributed tailored promotional vouchers and offers ahead of the event, designed to connect race participation with consumer engagement by introducing regional culinary specialties such as fermented vinegar hot pot and traditional Li-Miao cuisine to runners across China.

The economic benefits were sustained beyond the race period. According to Fliggy data, hotel bookings in Sanya began rising steadily from late October 2025, when event promotions launched, and remained strong throughout the marathon period. The momentum extended beyond the race, coinciding with the New Year holiday travel period. Data from the Sanya tourism bureau shows that during the 2026 New Year holiday, the city welcomed 650,800 visitor arrivals, with tourism revenue of 1.299 billion yuan (approx. US$186 million) generated, illustrating the role of the "racecation" model in supporting tourism demand.

In the future, Orange Lion Sports will harness AI technology to enhance sports events and promote fitness for all, in line with their assertion at CES in 2017: AI is the future of sports development.
