Chart-topping K-pop Sensation MONSTA X to Guest Star in Emmy-nominated We Bare Bears
Monsta X, one of the world’s most popular K-pop
groups, is getting animated in an all-new episode of Cartoon Network’s Emmy-nominated
We
Bare Bears premiering in the United States in May. Panda (voiced by Bobby Moynihan) is a huge Monsta X fan and he is in for the
surprise of a lifetime thanks to his thoughtful Bear Bros. In “Panda’s
Birthday,” Grizz (voiced by Eric Edelstein) and Ice Bear (voiced by Demetri
Martin) mastermind a creative 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
this special collaboration, MONSTA X 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 Bears fans, can truly enjoy it.”
Following the breakout success
of their first album Take.1 Are You
There?, MONSTA X is currently on a worldwide tour to promote their
sophomore album Take.2 We Are Here.
In
Asia, the special episode will air simultaneously on Cartoon Network (Astro CH
616) and Oh!K (Astro CH 394) on 9 August
at 9am, and will be available for viewing on the Cartoon Network Watch &
Play app as well.
