The wait is nearly over, and fans are buzzing with anticipation as Mnet has just dropped the preview for the first episode of “Road to Kingdom: ACE OF ACE.” Hosted by SHINee’s Taemin, this stand-alone season is a fresh spin on the popular “Road to Kingdom” from 2020, offering even more intense competition as it highlights some of the most exciting up-and-coming K-pop boy groups.
The groups competing this season include ONEUS, CRAVITY, TEMPEST, YOUNITE, THE NEW SIX, 8TURN, and The CrewOne, a project group featuring members of ATBO and JUST B. With Taemin’s legendary stage presence leading the show as MC, fans are already hyped for the battles ahead.
The preview reveals a new format that features a two-track competition. One track will rank the teams based on group performances, while the other will showcase the “ace” of each group—allowing standout members to shine individually in singing, dancing, and rapping. As talent alone will decide the winner, the competition is sure to be fierce.
