Everland will determine the name of its fourth naturally born baby panda, born last June, through a national naming contest.

According to Samsung C&T Resort Division on the 13th, Everland will conduct the baby panda naming contest via its own online channels—including YouTube, Instagram, and the Zootopia Naver Cafe—for one week starting today.

The baby panda, born on June 3, is a female cub born to parents Ai Bao and Le Bao. She is the youngest member of the Bao family, following Fu Bao, Rui Bao, and Hui Bao. This marks the fourth giant panda born through natural reproduction in Korea.

The baby panda has been growing healthily, recently recording a weight of approximately 1.4 kg during a recent health checkup—more than eight times her birth weight of 171 g.

Giant pandas are typically born as premature infants weighing between 150 g and 200 g, with low initial survival rates. Therefore, names are usually assigned once the cub's health stabilizes.

Like with Fu Bao (, treasure that brings happiness), Rui Bao (, wise treasure), and Hui Bao (, shining treasure), Everland plans to name this baby panda together with the Korean public.

Starting today—the 13th, which also marks Ai Bao's birthday—Everland will launch a nationwide online naming contest via its own channels, including YouTube, Instagram, and the Zootopia Naver Cafe, for one week.

To participate in naming the baby panda, simply leave your desired name and its meaning as a comment on the naming event content on each channel. The final selection method and announcement date for the baby panda's name will be disclosed later.

Keeper Kang Cheol-won said, "The youngest member of the Bao family—the sixth panda in the family—is growing up strong under the love and support of the Korean public. We hope everyone will gift her a name that is both fitting and meaningful."

Everland plans to decide on the timing for the general public viewing after closely monitoring the baby panda's growth process.
