China Economic Weekly-Economic Net News In South Korea, the family of the giant panda "Fubao" in Everland has a high popularity. Recently, Everland in South Korea launched a panda-themed winter celebration.

On July 20, 2020, "Aibao" gave birth to a female cub named "Fubao". This baby panda, which has a super high degree of attention since birth, has been nicknamed "cultivation idol" by many netizens, and every important moment since its birth has been recorded, and countless "cat fans" have watched it grow from a cub of less than 200 grams to a vibrant and often funny "girl". On July 7, 2023, giant panda Aibao gave birth to twin cubs, which are expected to be seen to the public in early 2024.
According to CCTV Finance, at present, in South Korea, panda fever has swept many fields such as social networks and commodity markets, forming a social and cultural phenomenon. Major Korean companies have launched products related to Fubao, with financial institutions selling out a limited number of Fubao credit cards at the beginning of this month, which were sold out within three days, and some chat apps launching paid emoji packs, which topped the popularity charts in one day. Last month, the pop-up store of giant panda merchandise opened in Seoul was sold out in just five minutes for tens of thousands of reservations, and the sales in two weeks were about 5.4 million yuan, far exceeding the level of ordinary clothing stores.
