Line-up
ATEEZ, BTOB and Stray Kids
For the 'No Limit' round, ATEEZ has teamed up with BTOB and Stray Kids where all the separate units of the K-pop acts including vocal unit, dance unit and rapper unit will have collaborative stage performances where they will compete against iKON, SF9 and The Boyz. ATEEZ, BTOB and Stray Kids who have named their group 'Mayfly' has made BTOB's Peniel their leader as the preview footages reveal the groups' bonding behind the scenes.
SF9, The Boyz, and iKON
SF9, The Boyz, and iKON who have named their group as 'The One' also struck up adorable friendships with each other as seen from preview clips. For the rapper unit, The Boyz Sunwoo is shown meeting iKON’s Bobby at the YG Entertainment building and praising the YG Singer. Sunwoo gushes over Bobby’s semi-final stage on “Show Me the Money 3,” and Bobby shyly acknowledges the compliment. SF9’s Hwiyoung also joins the meeting and both the younger K-pop artists ask Bobby if they can comfortably call him 'hyung' as in older brother.
In another preview snippet, THE BOYZ’s Juyeon of the dance unit is seen in the practice room and SF9’s Taeyang appears right after that. The duo exchanges some awkward small talk while greeting each other, but soon the mood changes when iKON’s Donghyuk makes an appearance. Juyeon compliments iKon star gushing, “You’re dressed so nicely.” The trio breaks off the ice between each other by asking about their birth years and getting along quickly when they discover they are of the same age.
Rookies added to the judges panel?
While Episode 7 has promised some never-seen-before stages, with Mnet, it is impossible to avoid controversies. To add to the latest edition of Mnet's controversial takes, viewers have pointed out that 'Kingdom' has shown a number of 'judges' who are rookies and the participating K-pop acts deserve better.
A user noted, "For the unit stage, there’s a total of 33 special evaluators who are on-site to evaluate and decide which unit won the round. There’s Super Junior Shindong and Donghae + Lia Kim that was introduced in the video. The other members look like rookies that just debuted to me?" Another slammed Mnet saying, "SuJu members + Lia as judges makes sense but why tf would Mnet let JUNIORS judge these seniors who can even be considered as judges & experts ‘emselves?? I mean?? Make it make sense. The only hoobae judge I’d accept is if this was 2014 & trainee BOBBY, SMTM3 champion were there."
