Hello – hello my little faces. The 5th episode of Kingdom: Legendary War was also the second half of ROUND 2. I know that it took me forever to react on this one but I was really busy, life happened, and also last Sunday was the Greek Easter, so… I had things to do ( lol ). Anyways, I finally watched it and let me tell you… This show will drive me crazy!! How on Earth every single group is THAT good?

After the performances of SF9, The Boyz & iKOn on episode 4, in this episode the remain three groups had to show us a more spectacular show if they wanted to steal everyone’s hearts.

The 4th group that performed on ROUND 2 was ATEEZ. They chose to cover iKON since all of them are huge fans of the group. San said that before his debut had gone to an iKON concert and Seonghwa used to cover their songs on school plays. They decided to perform “RYTHM TA” but they made some changes. With a concept inspired by the series “La casa de papel” they turned the stage into a museum of forbidden art. They used their “HALA ATEEZ” concept to inform us that Hala Ateez are not bad guys but rebels on a parallel universe who fight for their rights and made RYTHM TA a prequel performance of their WONDERLAND one leaving everyone thrilled.

The next group was BTOB having to cover Stray Kids they had various songs to choose from, but their problem was which will be more to their style. They called Stray Kids to ask their opinion but they ended up fishing information about the other group ( was a really funny moment ). In the end, they chose to cover “Back Door” and used a concept inspired by a concert’s backstage. Their performance was amazing!

Last but not least was Stray Kids. They decided to perform “I’ll be your man” by BTOB and they wanted to make it for their fans ( Stays ). They made rings that they wore on the stage and they turned the stage into a heaven/hell battle. If I am not wrong ( I like them but I’m not a stan ) the whole concept was how they want to protect Stays and they sold their souls to Satan for their fans to be ok. ( Again, if I’m wrong please correct me ). Their performance was breathtaking and as ATEEZ‘s Seonghwa said “I got chills”.

In this episode really touched me Stray Kids’ performance and if I knew their concept maybe I’ll like it more, but… knowing ATEEZ‘s concept and what exactly is going on with “HALA ATEEZ” I can’t choose anyone else!! Also, their facial expressions, the choreo, the props… everything was great!

** WARNING **
Any kind of hate for any of the groups or their fandoms will not be acceptable here.!

Until next time…
