A pair of pandas from China are coming back to Korea in 22 years.
China sent a pair of pandas to South Korea in 1994, but they were returned in 1998, when South Korea was hit by a severe economic crisis.

One of the biggest theme park in Korea, Samsung's Everland will welcome a pair of pandas from China and will be shown to the public in april.

The migration of the giant pandas will make Korea the 14th country that has giant pandas.
There are only an estimated 1,800 giant pandas left in the wild.
425 giant pandas live in Chinese zoos and there are only 50 pandas in 13 countries outside China.

Everland is is expecting more than 50% increase of Chinese tourists to the park and 300,000 visitors increase annually to see pandas.

The pandas pair will be on loan for 15 years for the purpose of joint research between Everland and China Wildlife Conservation Association.
