Short version

Shu Bao (曙宝), born June 3, 2026 at Everland Resort, is the fourth cub of Ai Bao (爱宝) and Le Bao (乐宝) and the first born in Korea since the 2023 twins. Her name, chosen by public vote, means "a treasure bright as dawn". She made her public debut on September 11, 2026.

Basic Profile

Shu Bao (Chinese: 曙宝, “a treasure bright as dawn”) is a female giant panda born on June 3, 2026 at Everland Resort in Yongin, South Korea. She weighed 171 grams at birth.

She is the fourth cub of Ai Bao (爱宝, studbook 869) and Le Bao (乐宝, studbook 841) — after Fu Bao (福宝, 2020) and the twins Rui Bao (睿宝, 1313) and Hui Bao (辉宝, 1314) in 2023.

Her studbook number has not been published yet; the national registry typically allocates one some time after a cub is registered and named.

Naming

Everland opened a public naming campaign in July 2026, shortlisting five candidates from more than 10,000 submissions: Zhen Bao, Jun Bao, Lin Bao, You Bao and Shu Bao. Over 220,000 people voted, and Shu Bao won with 42% of the vote.

Public Life

On September 11, 2026, her hundredth day, Everland announced the name and held a naming ceremony at which she met the press for the first time, weighing 5.5 kg and reported to be developing well. Head keeper Kang Cheol-won described her as quiet and gentle.

Rui Bao and Hui Bao are expected to return to China in the third week of December 2026, which would leave Ai Bao, Le Bao and Shu Bao in Korea.
