Get a first look at the K-pop band making an animated appearance on the popular show.
Monsta X makes yet another mark as they become the first Korean act to guest star on Cartoon Network’s We Bare Bears. Billboard is premiering a first-look clip from the upcoming episode of the Emmy-nominated show today (May 16).
In the episode, titled “Panda’s Birthday,” Panda (voiced by Bobby Moynihan), is a huge fan of Monsta X and gets the surprise of a lifetime thanks to his thoughtful Bear Bros. Grizz (voiced by Eric Edelstein) and Ice Bear (Demetri Martin) mastermind a scheme to help Panda meet his favorite K-pop band on his birthday.
Monsta X and Ice Bear eventually meet for the first time; Ice Bear (who is surprisingly fluent in Korean) successfully places himself via travel luggage in the group’s hotel room.
Regarding their collaboration, MX member I.M tells Billboard, “We are absolutely thrilled and honored to be in an episode of We Bare Bears. It’s one of the most beloved animated series in the world! We put in a lot of effort into this collaboration and hope our fans, as well as We Bare Bear fans, can truly enjoy it.”
