Everland

This guide follows Fu Bao, the giant panda born at Everland in 2020, the first ever born naturally on Korean soil, and the keeper who called himself her panda grandfather as he raised her. It traces how she became a phenomenon during the loneliest stretch of the pandemic, watched by millions online, and the international loan rules that shaped what came next. You'll hear about the bond between Fu Bao and Keeper Kang Cheol-won. Look for the panda enclosures where her parents and twin siblings still live.
