Everland Reveals Five Baby Tiger Siblings... Their Names Are 'Areum, Daun, Uri, Nara, Gangsan'

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Everland, operated by Samsung C&T Resort Division, has revealed the five baby Korean tiger siblings to the public and announced the names selected through an online vote on the 30th.

The five baby tigers?three females and two males?were born in June to mother Geongon and father Taeho. The Korean tiger, a first-class endangered species, is known to typically give birth to only 2 to 3 cubs at a time, making the birth of five siblings at once an extremely rare case worldwide.

On this day, the siblings appeared in Tiger Valley, the home of Korean tigers, and met visitors at Everland. Born weighing about 1kg each, the baby Korean tigers have grown more than tenfold to over 10kg just days before reaching 100 days old. They underwent an adaptation period in Tiger Valley about two weeks ago before being introduced to the public for the first time.

When the siblings first came out to Tiger Valley, they timidly followed their mother Geongon, appearing frightened by the unfamiliar surroundings. However, they quickly adapted by smelling grass, trees, and soil, and even nibbling on them.

Meanwhile, the names of the siblings, collected through SNS and the official website, were also revealed. Among about 2,000 name submissions via SNS comments, the final names selected through voting are 'Areum·Daun·Uri·Nara·Gangsan' (meaning Beautiful·Our·Country·Landscape).

Everland has been sharing the baby Korean tigers’ growth from birth through official YouTube, Instagram, and other SNS channels, and plans to continue posting content to engage with fans.

Kim Suwon, an Everland animal caretaker, said, "The names chosen by customers express the beautiful landscape of our country. We will do our best to ensure Areum·Daun·Uri·Nara·Gangsan grow up healthy and strong."
