Jeyun of 8TURN and Taeyoung of CRAVITY each took first place in the unit stage of 'ROAD TO KINGDOM: ACE OF ACE'. In the 6th episode of Mnet's 'ROAD TO KINGDOM: ACE OF ACE', broadcast on the 24th in Korea, the third battle, the last hurdle before the final, began. This day's broadcast was divided into two concepts, 'WATER' and 'FIRE', and a battle to select the ace of the first round of the third battle unfolded. The aces representing each team gathered to showcase their unit stages. First, in the WATER stage, the elite members included Jeong Seung-hwan of The Crew One (ATBO, JUST B), Jeyun of 8TURN, Hwanung of ONEUS, Sion of YOUNITE, Minhee of CRAVITY, and Hyuk of TEMPEST. Then, fierce competition unfolded over the distribution of parts. In the WATER stage, Hwanung of ONEUS, who benefited from the second battle, chose part 3, which everyone wanted. Amidst the intense competition with no concessions, the distribution of parts ended, and an unexpected 'hidden part' appeared, which Jeyun secured. Starting with Hwanung, a soft and sexy mood performance unfolded, leaving an aftertaste with a performance centered around Jeyun on a water-filled floor. Jeyun became the 'super ace' of the WATER stage. He took on the part that everyone tried to avoid, feeling frustrated and saying, 'I wanted to hide somewhere', but he won first place by taking the hidden part. Especially, the result of surpassing Hwanung, the 'immovable ace' who had ranked first for three consecutive times, surprised the opposing team, who couldn't hide their astonishment, saying, 'The youngest defeated senior Hwanung' and 'The first person to beat Hwanung'. In the FIRE stage, Oh Junseok of The Crew One, Myungho of 8TURN, Ido of ONEUS, Hyunseok of YOUNITE, Taeyoung of CRAVITY, and LEW of TEMPEST participated. Taeyoung, who had the priority for part selection, chose part 2 first, and the important hidden part that could overturn the situation was secured by Oh Junseok. The stage, which began with his intense intro, unfolded against a background of fire pillars rising, attracting attention. After a fierce one-on-one battle, Taeyoung became the super ace of the FIRE stage. He expressed his joy, saying, 'I feel like I contributed to the rise in the ace ranking'. The final ranking of the ace battle for the third round, determined by combining the scores of the WATER and FIRE stages, was CRAVITY in first place, 8TURN in second, The Crew One in third, ONEUS and TEMPEST in fourth, and YOUNITE in sixth. Following that, the second round unfolded. The second round was a team battle themed 'NO LIMIT'. The Crew One, who appeared first, chose SHINee's 'Sherlock' and showcased a performance without limits. TEMPEST chose SuperM's 'Jopping' and drew attention with their wire action performance. The opposing team commented, 'It's a shame there was a wire mistake, but they handled it well right away' and 'I liked the arrangement'.
