The "Busan Is Good” Slogan Is Under Review. Would You Keep It?

Seoul Grand Park is introducing its twin red panda cubs, Maru and Marong, to visitors starting October 14. They are the first red pandas successfully bred naturally in South Korea.

The cubs were born on June 19 and are already walking, climbing trees and starting to explore the outdoor habitat with their mother, Lian. Both now weigh over 1 kilogram and have had their vaccinations.

Quick visiting tip: red pandas are less active during the day, so sightings can’t be guaranteed. Early morning and after 4 p.m. are your best chances.
