The "Porong Porong Pororo Season 8," which will be released on the 28th, is a new season introduced after 4 years. Matching the concept of "Playing is the Best," the cheerful characters and personalities of Pororo and his friends are further highlighted.

In particular, Season 8, consisting of a total of 28 episodes, adds many new locations and backgrounds compared to previous seasons, such as the mysterious "Wonderland," the "Magic Forest" full of dazzling magical creatures, and the deep "Under the Sea," which is expected to receive high responses from curious and imaginative children. The season also focuses on a more diverse story composition with new characters such as various marine creatures and monsters. Themes of warm friendship, caring for and supporting each other, unique to Pororo, are expected to greatly help children form and nurture proper values and social skills.

"Porong Porong Pororo Season 8" will be available from the 28th every Monday and Tuesday at 8:35 AM immediately after the EBS broadcast through B tv ZEM. It is scheduled to be exclusively aired on IPTV for the next six months. By subscribing to the monthly subscription service "Super Kids Club," which offers access to about 60,000 kids' contents anytime and anywhere at an affordable price, viewers can watch all previous seasons as well as the new Season 8 through the "Pororo Special Zone" and "Pororo World."

To celebrate the exclusive IPTV release of Season 8, SK Broadband will hold a lottery for Super Kids Club subscribers, giving away 100 Pororo bandage sticker playsets and GS25 mobile gift certificates to 500 winners.
