ONEUS became the protagonist of the benefit. In the third episode of Mnet's 'ROAD TO KINGDOM: ACE OF ACE' broadcast on the 3rd in Korea, a triple showdown featuring The Crew One (ATBO & JUST B), ONEUS, and CRAVITY showcased a stage full of highlights, concluding the first round 'VS' mission. The triple showdown began with ONEUS's stage. Choosing NCT127's 'Hero; Kick It', they flipped the original oriental concept, re-arranging it in a gentle yet powerful Kingsman-style. Their dance performance utilizing umbrellas and a mysterious space caught the eye with its diverse composition. The Crew One selected THE BOYZ's 'WATCH IT', adding a dark and sexy mood with a vampire concept. They received acclaim for their intense highlights, including ace Jung Seung-hwan's powerful solo dance and Lee Gon-woo's high-pitched ad-libs. CRAVITY, who had ranked last in the previous evaluation battle and couldn't showcase their team performance, aimed for a comeback with Hyun-jun as their ace again. They staged TOMORROW X TOGETHER's 'Sugar Rush Ride' with the image of a boy entranced by the devil's sweet whispers, leaving a strong impression with Taeyon and Wonjin's pair tat dance, ace Hyun-jun's solo dance, and the members' perfectly synchronized group dance. Praised as 'goosebumps-inducing and flawless', they won the triple showdown and showed tears. After all the showdowns concluded, the final rankings of the 'VS' mission were revealed, attracting attention. In the team rankings, CRAVITY, YOUNITE, and THE NEW SIX, who won their respective showdowns, took the top three spots. In the 'Ace Ranking', Fanun of ONEUS ranked first, followed by Unsang of YOUNITE, Hyun-jun of CRAVITY, Eun-hee of THE NEW SIX, LEW of TEMPEST, Jung Seung-hwan of The Crew One, and Yoon-kyu of 8TURN. The cue sheet decision rights for the second round were determined by the ace who won in a one-on-one match between the team first place and ace first place. Hyun-jun showcased his excellent skills with flexible dancing on stage without props. Fanun started with a performance covered in powder, exploded gunpowder, and finished with a crown made of thorns, presenting a stage with perfect structure. The result was Fanun's victory, granting ONEUS the cue sheet decision rights.
