The two-month-old male cub began greeting visitors at Ppuppa Town in the Everland Zoo on August 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raon was born at Safari World on June 5, but his first days did not unfold quite as expected. When his mother was unable to care for him shortly after birth, Everland\u2019s zookeepers stepped in. They became his constant caregivers, bottle-feeding him day and night and watching over his health with close attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With their round-the-clock care, Raon has grown steadily and now weighs more than 5.5 kilograms. At approximately two months old, he is ready to take a new step meeting Everland\u2019s visitors for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Warm Welcome for Everland\u2019s Newest Lion Cub<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">News of Everland\u2019s first lion cub birth in eight years was met with an outpouring of support across online communities and social media. Messages included, \u201cWelcome to the world, adorable Raon,\u201d \u201cGrow up to be a healthy and courageous lion,\u201d and \u201cStay healthy so we can meet you soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raon\u2019s name also carries a special connection to the Samsung Lions. After the KBO All-Star Game, pitcher Chang-seop Yang visited Everland during the league break and personally gave the cub the same name as Raon, the youngest character in the team\u2019s Bleo Family mascot lineup. The story quickly became a favorite among fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI hope Raon grows up strong and one day reigns over Everland\u2019s safari as its true king,\u201d Yang said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cb-carousel-v2 cb-carousel-block\" data-cb-slides-per-view=\"1\" data-cb-slides-per-group=\"1\" data-cb-space-between=\"15\" data-cb-speed=\"300\" data-cb-navigation=\"true\" data-cb-pagination=\"true\" data-cb-loop=\"true\" data-cb-autoplay=\"true\" data-cb-autoplay-speed=\"3000\" data-cb-breakpoints=\"{&quot;768&quot;:{&quot;slidesPerView&quot;:2,&quot;slidesPerGroup&quot;:1}}\"><div class=\"swiper\"><div class=\"cb-wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cb-slide-v2 cb-slide swiper-slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/Meet-Raon-Everlands-First-Lion-Cub-Born-in-Eight-Years-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Everland\u2019s lion cub Raon sits upright on a patterned blanket and looks toward the camera.\" class=\"wp-image-53634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/Meet-Raon-Everlands-First-Lion-Cub-Born-in-Eight-Years-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/Meet-Raon-Everlands-First-Lion-Cub-Born-in-Eight-Years-1-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/Meet-Raon-Everlands-First-Lion-Cub-Born-in-Eight-Years-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/Meet-Raon-Everlands-First-Lion-Cub-Born-in-Eight-Years-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Raon sits up and takes in his surroundings with a curious gaze<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cb-slide-v2 cb-slide swiper-slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/Meet-Raon-Everlands-First-Lion-Cub-Born-in-Eight-Years-2-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of Everland\u2019s lion cub Raon resting on a patterned blanket.\" class=\"wp-image-53635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/Meet-Raon-Everlands-First-Lion-Cub-Born-in-Eight-Years-2-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/Meet-Raon-Everlands-First-Lion-Cub-Born-in-Eight-Years-2-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/Meet-Raon-Everlands-First-Lion-Cub-Born-in-Eight-Years-2-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/08\/Meet-Raon-Everlands-First-Lion-Cub-Born-in-Eight-Years-2.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Raon pauses for a closer look at the camera while resting comfortably on his blanket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"cb-pagination swiper-pagination\"><\/div><div class=\"cb-button-prev swiper-button-prev\"><\/div><div class=\"cb-button-next swiper-button-next\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Raon Takes His First Steps at Pp<\/strong><strong>u<\/strong><strong>ppa Town<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThanks to the dedication and attentive care of our zookeepers, Raon has grown into a healthy cub and is finally meeting visitors at Ppuppa Town,\u201d an Everland representative said. \u201cAs he takes his first curious steps into the world, we hope many people will continue to cheer him on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Samsung Lions finished the first half of the season in first place and continue to compete in a close race for the lead in the second half.
