As it has been reborn as a unique program, expectations are high for the new story that will unfold. Ahead of its first broadcast, three viewing points are introduced. ◆Reborn after 4 years... Expectation for a more polished survival If the 2020 broadcast of 'Road to Kingdom' was close to a prequel for the opportunity to participate in 'KINGDOM', this season, returning after 4 years, is expected to be reborn as a unique project. With many talented boy groups such as THE BOYZ, ONF, and PENTAGON, 'Road to Kingdom' has shown undeniable results as a catalyst for the growth and potential of idols, and attention is focused on how it will return after rebranding. ◆New rules... Fierce battles of the aces The subtitle for this season is 'ACE OF ACE'. With new rules added, not only group performances but also stages by each group's aces will be showcased, delivering an upgraded viewing experience. Members will reveal their individual skills, talents, and characters that could not be shown in group activities, embarking on a leap as the next generation of boy groups. Viewers can enjoy discovering 'K-POP gems' that stand out with attractive visuals and impeccable skills. ◆Attention on the challenges of 7 'K-POP hopefuls' The most exciting point is the challenges of the 'K-POP hopefuls' armed with potential. Since they were born from audition programs, the talented groups include THE NEW SIX, The CrewOne (ATBO & JUST B) focusing on project group activities, rookie 8TURN armed as all-rounder artists, ONEUS taking on a re-challenge for the survival of their group, YOUNITE excelling in various genres from hip-hop to conceptual performances, CRAVITY recognized as the 'strongest performance team' with charm and skill, and TEMPEST, a group captivating the world with their 'refreshing visuals'. The fierce survival among these 7 groups begins. Thus, 'ROAD TO KINGDOM: ACE OF ACE', featuring groups with diverse charms in direct competition, will be broadcast simultaneously in Japan and Korea on the 19th at 9:30 PM. The MC is SHINee's Taemin, who is cited as a role model by many boy groups.
