Global cartoon and art toy fans of POP MART and the crying boy CRYBABY should book flights quickly! This summer, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) in Singapore presents the grand "Summer of Treasures" campaign, highlighted by the debut of the "CRYBABY Cry Me an Ocean" exhibition from 24 June to 30 August 2026 at the world-class Singapore Oceanarium.

This event is a landmark phenomenon combining the CRYBABY character, created by a Thai artist, with stories of sea creatures, inviting visitors to explore emotions and take photos at charming check-in spots.

Introducing 11 super cute photo check-in spots at "CRYBABY Cry Me an Ocean"

The exhibition features a total of 11 photo spots and sculptures, with 9 located inside the Singapore Oceanarium and 2 outdoor displays at THE WEAVE public area. Each spot includes character panels linking real marine animal behaviors to themes of friendship, resilience, self-acceptance, and hope. Highlights include:

• THE ANGLERFISH: A 5-meter tall inflatable collaborating with the sunfish in the "Oddball Alliance." Its glowing tears shine in the dark, reminding us to "be our own light amidst darkness."
• THE PUFFERFISH: A 5-meter inflatable covered in spikes alongside sea urchins symbolizes self-protection without harm, carrying the healing message: "Though sharp outside, the heart inside is gentle."
• THE WHALESHARK & THE MANTA RAY: Two sculptures measuring 2 meters and 1.5 meters depict embracing one's tears in a safe space, cutting off external criticism.
• THE SHARK: A 1.8-meter sculpture portrays a rebellious surfer ready to face all emotional waves and dispel negative energy.
• THE WHALE: A 1.6-meter sculpture shows the whale dragging a heavy anchor, symbolizing letting go and allowing the waves to wash away fatigue.
• THE GATHERING TIDE: A curved 2D lightbox wall displaying all 12 CRYBABY characters swimming together, reminding us that despite our differences, we are all navigating life together.
• THE JELLYFISH GLOW: A 2D neon graphic panel designed to blend seamlessly with the aquarium’s existing jellyfish information wall.
• THE JELLYFISH: A 1.6-meter sculpture capturing the crying CRYBABY boy surrounded by seagulls attentively listening to his story.
• THE PORTHOLES: A photo booth designed like submarine windows allowing visitors to look at 6 CRYBABY characters swimming on each side.
• CRYBABY'S COAST: An interactive coastal zone decorated with building columns and hidden CRYBABY figures near aquatic displays for fans to find and enjoy.

Behind the cuteness: a world-class Thai artist

CRYBABY was created by Thai artist Molly Yllom, a graduate of Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University’s Faculty of Fine Arts in Communication Design. Her first work in 2017 aimed to represent true emotional expression, believing that "tears can heal the soul and everyone has the right to cry." The "Cry Me an Ocean" collection encourages people to be themselves and resist judgment in a world full of emotional burdens.
