Road to Kingdom (Korean: 로드 투 킹덤) is a television program that aired every Thursday at 20:00 (KST) on Mnet from April 30 to June 18, 2020.[1] It is known as the first part of the male counterpart of Queendom, and the prequel of Kingdom for Season 1. A press conference for Season 1 of the program was held on April 21, 2020.[2][3]
Season 2 will be launched in the second half of 2024, and it would be branded as an independent program, rather than a prequel to Kingdom.[4]
Season 1 was a battle for a spot in Kingdom (킹덤) between 7 boy groups with potential, but mostly unknown to many.[5] Similar to Queendom, there would be Comeback Singles (newly produced songs) released on June 12, 2020.
During the season, special interview clips with Queendom contestants Park Bom, AOA (Chanmi), Mamamoo (Solar, Hwasa), Lovelyz (Mijoo, Kei), Oh My Girl (Hyojung, YooA) and (G)I-DLE (Soyeon, Yuqi) were shown in episode 1, as they shared their first thoughts about Road to Kingdom.[6]

The Boyz, as the winner group of Season 1, secured a spot in the program Kingdom: Legendary War.[8]
The 7 boy groups each perform a 90-second performance that best expresses 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.
The 7 boy groups each perform one song from their boy group seniors, and is rearranged into a different style.
Rules
