On Thursday, October 17, Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace released its fifth episode, revealing several performances from the contesting K-pop boy groups. In the last episode, the second round of evaluation for the reality survival program and its details were announced. The second round, Identity Mission, revolves around the groups performing hit songs from their discography.
However, the catch is to execute the song and arrange it through a performance different from their usual style. Therefore, the round focused on the K-pop boy groups showcasing their true colors and winning votes through the same. Additionally, unlike the previous rounds, this round required two ace members to participate and battle against each other for the Ace Battle.
Every round consists of two competitions: a Team Battle and an Ace Battle. Here's a list of all the songs that the contesting groups picked to perform along with the chosen ace members:

The eliminations for the Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace usually accumulate the rankings of both the team and the ace battles. If the last ranks aren't from the same group, the two last ranking groups would have their aces battled against each other.
The one with the lower points at the end of the battles would be eliminated. However, given that TheNewSix ranked last in both the team and ace battle, they were automatically eliminated from the show without the ace battle.
Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace airs every Thursday on Mnet.
