Last September, she was separated from her mother and entered sexual maturity. In accordance with the China-South Korea agreement on panda conservation research cooperation, she is expected to come to China before reaching age 4.
Now that she is sexually maturing and there are no suitable male pandas for breeding in South Korea, sending her to China is seen as the right choice.
South Korean media has referred to the giant panda as a "super idol," and advertisements celebrating her birthday are visible in many subway stations. These birthday wishes were even more special, as the birthdays of all the pandas residing in South Korea fall in July.
