Group ONEUS showed off their presence as the undisputed aces.

On the broadcast of Mnet‘s ‘Road to Kingdom: ACE OF ACE’ on the 17th, ONEUS (Seoho, Leedo, Keonhee, Hwanwoong, Xion) entered the second round of the ‘IDENTITY’ mission and achieved the feat of taking 1st place for the third time in a row.

Through the ‘IDENTITY’ mission, each team competed with representative songs that could best show their identity. ONEUS chose ‘No diggity’, the title song of their first full-length album ‘DEVIL’, and Seoho and Hwanwoong appeared as the aces. The two, who are the main vocalist and main dancer of the team respectively, showed off their abilities to the max.

Following the movies ‘Joker’ and ‘Kingsman’, ONEUS borrowed the ‘Mad Max’ concept this time, and depicted a revolution in music with ONEUS’s own powerful performance. From the guitar performance that spits out gorgeous flames in the introduction, to the aces‘ dance break, which can be considered their finishing move, to the rap part that maximized the rocking atmosphere, and even a magnificent live performance, there was endless things to see.

In particular, ONEUS elicited responses from the audience throughout the stage, and constantly communicated with them, transforming the competition stage into a concert venue in an instant. As soon as ONEUS’s stage ended, the audience erupted in requests for an encore. The cast also expressed their admiration, saying, “They tore up the stage”, “How did they keep the tension up like that from beginning to end?”, “I‘m overwhelmed”, “The sense of presence is really good”, and “They’re as expected”.

According to the cumulative ranking results from the first and second rounds, ONEUS took first place in the Ace Ranking with an overwhelming score. They have established themselves as the undisputed aces of ‘Road to Kingdom’ with a record of three consecutive first place finishes in the Ace Ranking. ONEUS also took 2nd place in the team rankings, raising expectations for the next mission with their excellent performance.

Meanwhile, Mnet‘s ‘Road to Kingdom: ACE OF ACE’ featuring ONEUS airs every Thursday at 9:30 PM.
