The escapee panda is Tai Shan (peaceful mountain), being given a helping paw up by his mother. At the time he was resident in the Washington national zoo. After 10 years, he goes back to china for a breeding program. The bit you see in the video is their den which is supposed to be a cave, somewhere to sleep and a place for suckling (pandas suckle for 2 years). The room you see is just the indoor exhibit space and there is a yard just outside with trees etc to climb.
http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/GiantPandas/ has a panda-cam so you can spy on them. He even gets out in the snow etc. Whilst any animals kept in zoos are hardly ideal, this seems to be one of the better examples of a habitat (and I'm not american). If you want to do something useful about animal welfare, petition your korean embassy about the treatment of dogs prior to their slaughter.
