Popopo (Korean: 뽀뽀뽀) was a South Korean children's television series broadcast on Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC).[1][2][3] It was a popular children's education program, airing for 32 years with 7,754 episodes.[3] It ran from May 25, 1981 to August 7, 2013.[3] It was one of the leaders in Korean television education for young children, connecting parents and kids with its iconic theme song and promoting a sense of family and community.[3]
During its time on air, Popopo has produced a total of 24 hosts, such as Wang Young-eun, Choi Yeo-jin, and Kang Da-som.[3] The show has also aired over 40,000 children's songs, and its viewers have grown up to become parents themselves, passing on the show's legacy to the next generation.[3]
Due to changing times and evolving education environments, MBC decided to end Popopo and introduced a new children's education program called "Ttok? Ttok! Kid's School" (똑?똑! 키즈스쿨), which aims to provide equal opportunities for young children to receive gifted education through television.[3] The series was announced to have ended in 2013.[1][2]
