On Friday, October 11, the fourth episode of Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace was released, revealing the second round of competition between the participating groups. For the second round, the contestants were asked to enter an Identity Mission. This round concentrated on the groups showcasing their true colors and expressing their identity as a K-pop group through the performances.
The contestants had to pick a song from their discography, particularly a track they're known for and best captures their identity as a group. However, the mission is to rearrange the song and execute the track through a performance different from their usual stages. This round will also have two kinds of battles - a team battle and an ace battle.
While the team battle refers to contesting groups competing against each other, the ace battle involves one best performer from each group competing against the other. Though the previous battles at Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace have always picked only one ace per team, the Identity Mission will have two ace members participating in the battle from each group.
Most importantly, this upcoming round will serve as the first round with an elimination. This article will unravel the songs that each of the contesting groups picked to perform and will also unveil the two ace members who will be participating in the ace battle from each group for the Identity Mission.
