The weekly news magazine Time selects and publishes 100 photos each year that have moved people around the world. The selected photo was taken shortly after the mother panda Aibao gave birth to twins, Ruibao and Huibao, in July. Time described it as "Mother Aibao and the female twin pandas born for the first time in Korea at Everland in Yongin on July 7."

This photo, showing the first-ever twin baby pandas born in Korea and Aibao’s maternal love, became a hot topic not only in domestic media but also in major foreign news outlets worldwide. An Everland official explained, "It seems to have conveyed the mystery of life along with hope and inspiration to people around the world."

Ruibao and Huibao, who weighed 180g and 140g at birth, have rapidly grown by more than 8kg. Their adorable appearances have been shared through Everland’s social media channels, gaining attention and love. Everland plans to publicly reveal the twin pandas early next year after they go through the process of adapting to the external environment and can safely interact with their mother.
