Starting from June 28, fans were able to watch short clips of the Washington DC, New York, and Chicago concerts, the reaction of the audience, the girls praying before taking the stage, and even their opening act during the first leg of their tour, 2PM. Mnet continued showing short clips of the tour until July 22 with the next batch being about the “Behind the Story” of Wonder Girls and 2PM.

As this was a small part of the footage that Mnet had on the Wonder Girls World Tour, they started airing Made in Wonder Girls on Mnet’s TV channel on July 30.[13]
