Road to Kingdom


Road to Kingdom is a television program that aired every Thursday at 20:00 on Mnet from April 30 to June 18, 2020. It is known as the sequel and the first part of the male counterpart of Queendom.
A press conference for the program was held on April 21.
The Boyz became the winner of the competition, hence securing a spot in the upcoming program Kingdom.

Overview

The program is a battle for a spot in Kingdom between 7 boy groups with potential, but are mostly unknown to many. Similar to Queendom, there will be Comeback Singles released, on June 12, 2020.
Special interview clips with Queendom contestants Park Bom, AOA, Mamamoo, Lovelyz, Oh My Girl and I-DLE were shown in episode 1, as they share their first thoughts about Road to Kingdom.
The number hints, which were given 1 week before the first recording of the show, are shown as follow:
The 7 boy groups each perform a 90 seconds performance that best express themselves.
There is no order decided before the performances - the order is decided on the spot. The first performing boy group is decided by the boy group that volunteers themselves first. After the first boy group has performed, they will decide on the second performing boy group, and the second boy group that has performed will then decide on the third performing boy group. The process goes on until all performances have been completed.
The round's points are entirely decided through a self-evaluation where each boy group will rank the other boy groups' performances from 1st to 6th.
Each boy group would receive self-evaluation points from the other 6 boy groups, and they will be added up to become the round's total points obtained for the boy group. This will, however, be not included in the overall points for the show.
