The 10 best Pengsoo moments

August 8 in South Korea is Pengsoo day because for the young South Koreans, it marks the birthday of everyone's favorite giant penguin creator, Pengsoo, the star of EBS's hit TV show, Giant Peng TV. In honor of Pengsoo Day, let's jot down the top 10 best Pengsoo moments.

Pengsoo

10) After moments of sleeping in the props room since he first went to EBS, the folks from a Korean steel company built Pengsoo's new crib located at the top of the EBS main lobby. Pengsoo's own crib is everything this penguin wanted. He even invited some popular EBS characters to check it out as well.

9) Park Jae-Young and Pengsoo ruined the puzzle after an argument and now they're spending the rest of the day re-piecing them back. With the entire EBS heard about what happened, the whole team got their back and their support made them finished the puzzle together!

8) Pengsoo and his friends began making carp bread and sell it to everyone in honor of Pengsoo's Golden Button award. Because Pengsoo's carp bread is so popular, it gain the attention of Yu Jae Seok, a TV presenter from MBC, and Mr. KMJ, the boss of EBS.

7) Pengsoo's guest appearance in a SBS TV series, Stove League. A certain Giant Peng TV episode showcases what's Pengsoo like to appear in a hit K-drama series.

6) Pengsoo reunites with his old kindergarten friends, Beom the otter and Ttogi, a mascot for Greenpeace Korea. As the trio off to a outing, they come face-to-face with Dooly, a classic Korean cartoon character, and they had a lot of fun as well!

5) Pengsoo pays a visit to one of Korea's biggest TV networks. He enjoys getting to know the folks working at that station as well as the shows until the big crucial moment that Pengsoo is offered to stay at a fancy secret room in exchange of working with them. Pengsoo sadly accepted the offer but because he missed his time at EBS, our favorite giant penguin ran away from the network and chasing his Peng TV crew.

4) A certain organization wants Pengsoo to create a PSA combating smoking. Pengsoo accepts the challenge and because his PD, Park Jae-Young, is late for work, his punishment is...being the cigarette in Pengsoo's anti-smoking PSA shooting!

3) Pengsoo comes face to face with the K-Pop girl group TWICE as part of his road to Billboard. During his visit, the TWICE members taught Pengsoo the tools of the trade. They even taught him how to make Dalgona coffee as well!

2) Two Pengsoos in the dead of night? In the Halloween episode, when his then-manager Park Jae-Young left the building, Pengsoo encountered another Pengsoo?! Scary! The fake Pengsoo is chasing the real Pengsoo and when things get rough, the fake Pengsoo got Park Jae-Young! Desperate, the two Pengsoo battle each other until the real Pengsoo wins the fight!

1) EBS News reporter Lee Dong-Hyun tries to unmask Pengsoo, Unanswered Questions style. After moments of sneaking behind Pengsoo, not to mention the hilarious closet prank Pengsoo pulled on him, the newscaster meets Pengsoo in person to find out who this penguin is and after numerous analysis, Pengsoo is confirmed (?) that he's 99.99% penguin.

As our favorite giant penguin is now eleven years old, expect more misadventures to come from Pengsoo and the team because the whole Korea, the world rather, won't know what happens next when this giant penguin plans something big! Expect more surprises, more drama, and more laughs from our favorite giant penguin from EBS!

Happy Pengsoo Day!
