Lastly, U-Kwon, whose Joker dance received the highest score on the first episode, took to the stage with YooA, a member of K-pop group, Oh My Girl. Their concept was “Pet love on a day without owners.” The duo dressed for the part in cat and dog outfits and performed an adorable number with a twist.
