Fu Bao (Chinese: 福宝, born July 20, 2020[1][2]) is the first naturally born giant panda in South Korea. She was born to parents Ai Bao and Le Bao at the Everland theme park . She is the subject of an animated documentary titled "Hello, Grandpa"[3] which chronicled her keepers,Song Young-gwan and Kang Cheol-won (who have been dubbed "panda grandfathers")' efforts to care for her. She currently resides at the Shenshuping giant panda base[2].
Life[edit]
Fu Bao was born in July 2020 to parents Ai Bao and Le Bao, who subsequently produced twin cubs[4], the first twin pandas to be born in South Korea. Her name means "lucky treasure". She became an internet sensation soon after her birth, and a source of joy for netizens during the COVID-19 pandemic, winning hearts thanks to her unique charm. Her presence also doubled the number of visitors to Everland's Panda World[5].
Like all cubs born to pairs loaned from China, Fu Bao was to be relocated to China within a span of 4 years. She left for China on April 3 2024[6].
