K-Pop Shark Heroes

Matt Roush says...

Just when you thought it was safe to surf the waves of summer TV … Discovery Channel revives its most famous (or possibly infamous) franchise, Shark Week, for its 38th annual deep dive into the mystique and menace of the watery predators. Kicking things off is comedian/actor/Masked Singer panelist Ken Jeong, returning to his ancestral homeland of South Korea for a K-Pop Shark Heroes special, using K-Pop (courtesy of singer/rapper Rei Ami) to demystify the creatures prowling the East Asian waters. They’ve even come up with an “Om-a-Nom (Shark Week)” theme song. Opening night continues with the latest Air Jaws installment (9/8c), subtitled Red, White and Breach, as filmmakers explore an upsurge in great white sharks breaching in California. Last but not least, Invasion of the Mega Sharks (10/9c) travels to Nova Scotia in search of “Big Rose,” a mammoth great white rumored to be stalking the North Atlantic.
