Road to Kingdom is a performance competition show Pentagon went on. It ran during spring 2020. 7 boy groups competed against each other. The winner will continue on to a show called Kingdom. Pentagon came in third. Full Eng sub of RTK is included in external link.
Road to the Throne (90 second intro choreo, Ep1)
Very Good (Block B cover, Ep3)
Shine + Spring Snow (Ep3)
~ this was Jinho's last performance with Pentagon before he had to enlist (see external link for info about mandatory enlistment in Korea). The other members planned a surprise message for him during the performance.
~ see Genie:us for more info about Spring Snow
~ the original Spring Snow has the lyric "봄눈이 올까요" (will the spring snow come?/bomnuni olkkayo, meaning will the happy times like Shine era come again), but in the RTK version at the very end Jinho sings "우리에게도 봄눈이 올 거야" (the spring snow will come to us too/uriegedo bomnuni ol geoya).
Follow (Monsta X cover)
~[1] Yuto came up with the Egyptian theme because Follow sounds like Pharaoh (especially in Korean, since R and L both sound like the Korean letter ㄹ)
~[2] Kino choreographed some of it (maybe all)
Kill This Love (Blackpink cover with ONF)
~ If you haven't heard the original Kill This Love by Blackpink, I suggest listening to that first. Personally I think in general for covers it's good to listen to the original first but that goes especially for this one.
~[1] choreography by Auspicious
Basquiat (single)
~[1] by Hui, inspired by artist Jean-Michele Basquiat (please look in the external link! Hui talks a lot about the inspiration and I think it's better to just hear it from him)
~[2] Hui tried the 6 high notes at the end about 30 times in the studio. If Jinho weren't enlisted, then he would sing high notes and Hui would harmonize with him on lower notes.
~[3] choreography by Auspicious
