The Untold Truth Of CoComelon

To watch CoComelon today, either on Netflix or YouTube, you might notice just how fun, colorful, and modern it looks. But this was not always the case, and, in fact, the concept behind CoComelon was actually first developed back in 2006.

Specifically, according to the Independent, the series came about from a California couple looking to entertain their own children. They created animated videos for their sons and posted their first video to the internet in 2006 after seeing how much their own kids liked them. Jay Jeon, the husband behind CoComelon, told the Independent that he and his wife, who happened to be a children's book illustrator, were truly inspired by their kids. "Our kids' reaction gave us the confidence to keep going, and so we pursued it as a hobby," Jeon said. CoComelon was truly made for kids, with the interest of children always in mind.
