What the Overnight Guests Will Whisper About K-Pop
Our entirely unscientific pack opinion.
When K-Pop checked into the hotel, the other pups wondered if they'd need to start practicing their dance moves. I guess they thought a little barking choreography could help boost their chances in the talent show!
