''Koongya Koongya'' (쿵야쿵야) is a 2006 South Korean animated series that aired on the Korean Broadcasting System in collaboration with CJ E&M's MMORPG divison.

Based on two Massively Multiplayer Online Games titled ''Koongya Adventure'' and ''Green Garden'' (''Yaburi''), the series is about a group of food-based WaddlingHead creatures called Koongyas who struggle on making their restaurant profitable. The Koongyas promote healthy food to their customers and even the audience of the show. Outside the restaurant, the Koongyas travel to places, help allies and confront villains. Its opening theme ''Fly Away'' is performed by Korean boy band Music/SS501 and its ending theme ''Koongya likes Vegetables'' is performed by K-pop group Baby V.O.X.

The series comprises 26 episodes and gained decent ratings at its debut. It was noted by viewers for its humor and many shout outs to other works.

It was released on home video on DVD and VHS.
