Pororo the Little Penguin was first introduced to Korea’s child audience in 2003 and since has grown into quite the big man on campus though he hasn’t seemed to age one day on screen. (This post contains affiliate links, which means I receive a certain percentage of a sale if you purchase after clicking. These funds go to maintain the site. Thank you for your support.) He has been in our lives since 2015 when our little one first met him and immediately fell in love with the quirky penguin that always seems to be getting into trouble doing one thing or another.
Pororo started out 8 years old but is said to have aged a couple years in Season 3 and 4. There doesn’t seem to be a child in Korea that hasn’t heard of Pororo and the theme song can be heard from babe’s mouths, not to mention from their mother’s and father’s mouths too because you know we pick that stuff up. From the hit show has come lines of toys and kids cafes as well as Pororo theme parks and more! Books that teach children important things like how and where to go poo, to put their hands up when they cross the road and what to eat for dinner to stay healthy and strong are all apart of this character’s line and boy if kids don’t just love it! Popular with children from about 1 through preschool, we still watch it weekly in our house and of course being able to visit our life-size friends is fabulous whenever possible!

Here is a quick guide to Pororo Parks in Korea and where to find them. First, it’s important to know who is who: Living in Porong Porong Forest, Pororo is joined by a group a friends including: Crong: A crocodile that is the youngest of the friends and was discovered when he was just inside of his little egg. He was adopted and lives with Pororo and starts out at 3 years old in the first season.
He learns to speak through the seasons though still can’t quite form full sentences. Poby: A big polar bear who is 15 and the oldest of the group and who is usually trying to keep everyone safe and happy. Eddy: A fennec fox who is 10 years old and loves inventing things and invented a robot named Rody who lives next door to Eddy now. He and Pororo are often competing.
Loopy: A pink beaver who is 7 in the beginning and is very shy and often nervous. She loves to cook and is often cooking for everyone and holds potluck meals in her home. Petty: A female penguin introduced as Pororo’s girlfriend, but since they’re babies, they don’t even hold hands yet.
They make google eyes at each other from time to time. Harry: A 10 year old hummingbird sidekick of Poby and the second oldest of the cast.
He lost his way from the summery warm island he wants inhabited and often daydreams of that far away warmer climate. Tong Tong: A dragon who is around 12 years old and lives in a volcano. He has magical powers and can shift from a small dragon to a huge one that flies high in the sky.
