After a few research, I've figured out that ASUS does support Intel 9th gen with a new BIOS update (1002 if I'm not wrong).
But I'm accidentally ordered a brand new ASUS ROG Z370-G and an Intel 9600k. So my questions are:

Does the motherboard come with an updated BIOS which supports 9th gen CPU? If not then will my motherboard be able to boot with this CPU? (so I can perform BIOS update)
 
Solution
"Does the motherboard come with an updated BIOS which supports 9th gen CPU?" It depends on when the board was manufactured. Chances are that it would need a BIOS update.
" If not then will my motherboard be able to boot with this CPU? (so I can perform BIOS update) " No, you'd need a supported CPU.
Option: cancel the order and buy instead a Z390 board.
