Kicking off the round with a powerful rap performance we had iKON’s Bobby, SF9’s Hwiyoung, and The Boyz’s Sunwoo, from the team It’s One. The two teams would compete with each other to give a total of six stages – dance, rap, and vocal unit performances. This made iKON, SF9, and The Boyz stick together who collectively call themselves ‘It’s One’. Their first choices were BTOB and Stray Kids, forming the team called ‘Mayfly‘. Mnet also released some extra videos on YouTube where the collaborating teams get to know each other before the third round started.Īs the winners of the previous round (judges + group evaluation), ATEEZ got to chose who they wanted to collab with. Nevertheless, following the franchise tradition, the groups got to enjoy a break from the nerves in disguise of a sports meet (featured in episode six). It wouldn’t surprise anyone if the groups were nervous and stressed. The points for the first part would come from the votes of the bench of 33 judges who were specially appointed for this round. There won’t be any points counted from the YouTube streams nor there will be any global fan voting for the first part of this round.

It’s divided into two parts – a set of collaboration stages and individual group stages. The points scored here can switch the overall rankings from the first two episodes. The third round ‘No Limit’ is very crucial. All the six groups are pulling out all the stops to bring the most memorable stage and the viewing audience definitely seems to not be disappointed. Down with two rounds and with the start of the third round called, ‘ No Limit‘, we are very near to the fourth and final round which will determine the ultimate King of the Kingdom. Mnet’s ‘Kingdom: Legendary War’ dropped its seventh episode recently, and as we inch closer to the eighth, no one can deny the tension in the air which grows thicker every passing moment.
