Fans say goodbye in tears

Fubao, the giant panda born in Everland and loved by the people, will return to China on the morning of the 3rd.

Although it was not possible to see Fu Bao in person while riding in the vehicle, zookeepers Kang Cheol-won and Song Young-gwan, well known as ‘Grandpa Fu Bao,’ expressed their gratitude for the love fans have shown on Fu Bao’s behalf.

Zookeeper Kang Cheol-won, with tears in his eyes, asked, “Thank you for loving Fubao so far as he sets off on a journey to find a new world, and please remember Fubao forever.”

Fans who attended the scene said, "Fubao gave me a lot of comfort when I was having a hard time due to the coronavirus, and I am very sad to hear that he is leaving," and "I promised to send Fubao off with a happy heart because he has to live his own life, but I can't help but keep crying." “It breaks my heart to feel like I am leaving my child, but I will work hard to support Fubao’s future,” he said, expressing his regret and wishing Fubao happiness.
