爱宝
Ai Bao’s breeding history in South Korea includes several of the country’s landmark giant panda births. Originally named Hua Ni, she went to South Korea in 2016. After mating naturally with Le Bao, she gave birth to Fu Bao in 2020, the first giant panda born in South Korea, and to Rui Bao and Hui Bao in 2023, the country’s first pair of giant panda twins. On June 3, 2026, she gave birth to another female cub.

Hui Bao and her older twin sister Rui Bao were born on July 7, 2023, becoming the first pair of giant panda twins born in South Korea. Because giant panda mothers often have difficulty caring for two newborns at once, Ai Bao and the care team alternated the cubs between maternal care and supplemental care during their first weeks. At about 100 days old, a public naming campaign gave her the name Hui Bao, meaning “shining treasure.”

In 2016, Le Bao—originally named Yuanxin—went to South Korea with Hua Ni as part of a China–South Korea giant panda conservation research program. After the pair mated naturally in 2020, Ai Bao gave birth to Fu Bao, the first giant panda born in South Korea. In 2023, the pair produced Rui Bao and Hui Bao, the first pair of giant panda twins born in South Korea.

睿宝
South Korea welcomed its first giant panda twins on July 7, 2023, when Rui Bao and Hui Bao were born. Their names were chosen after about 40 days of public submissions followed by several rounds of voting; “Rui Bao” means “wise treasure.” The sisters were born to Ai Bao and Le Bao after another successful natural mating, following Fu Bao.
