We Bare Bears creator Daniel Chong shared his experience working with MONSTA X following the premiere of the episode on Monday. “Working with MONSTA X was a surprising experience for myself and to everyone on the We Bare Bears team. It was very natural work integrating the members into the episode, and all of the members acted with perfect tone and humor,” he said.

Chong also made sure that the personalities of Shownu, Wonho, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Joohoney, and I.M — who all lent their voices for the episode — shone through in their animated selves. “We put in a lot of effort to include each of the member’s distinct individuality, and we added inside jokes that only true MONSTA X fans would understand,” Chong added. “We hope that everyone enjoys this episode as much as we had fun making it.”
