I-Land2: N/a (; stylized in all caps) is a 2024 South Korean girl group survival reality competition series created by Mnet in collaboration with WakeOne and The Black Label.[2] It is a sequel to I-Land, which created Enhypen, following the process of creating a new girl group.[3] It premiered on Mnet on April 18, 2024, and was separated into two parts. The episodes of Part 1 aired every Thursday at 20:50 (KST)[4] and the episodes of Part 2 aired every Thursday at 21:30 (KST). The show ended with the formation of a seven-member girl group named Izna, which would be trained and managed under WakeOne and become their first non-temporary girl group with a standard contract.[5] [6]
In a setup similar to last season, the show is split into two Parts. In Part 1, twenty-four contestants are brought to a complex in the middle of a lush green forest. They will stay in either "I-Land" or "Ground". I-Land is a modern three-floor building with living spaces, a gym, dance studios, an item room for storage, a make-up room, and individual practice rooms. However, only 12 contestants can stay there. The remaining contestants will be sent to a simpler building called "Ground," which only has a dance studio, locker room, and dining area. They will have to commute to and from "I-Land" every day at fixed times. I-Land, and the stage where contestants' skills will be evaluated, known as the I-Stage, are connected by a gate, known as the Meta Ball. Ground is a short walk from those two connected buildings.
In Part 2, the remaining 12 contestants all get to stay in I-Land and the Ground building no longer gets used. The section of the building where I-Stage used to be became a pickup/drop-off spot for the contestants to get to and from their new performance stage, the CJ ENM Ilsan Studio.
Part 1's concept revolves around the contestants' and producers' votes and evaluation, which play a crucial role in deciding who stays in I-Land, who goes to the Ground, and who gets eliminated. In Part 2, the concept shifts to the I-Mates' and producers' votes and evaluation, which play a crucial role in deciding the contestants rankings, and again, who gets eliminated. Because I-Land can only accommodate 12 trainees, in Part 1, the contestants may be dropped and demoted to the Ground and promptly replaced by trainees from the Ground.
This season, a fox-like AI creature named NAsuri will accompany the trainees and serve as the show's mascot. For this season, the audience will be known as I-Mates. The title of this season's signal song is "Final Love Song", which is a rendition of "The Final Countdown" by Europe.
On July 9, 2023, Mnet officially confirmed they plan to air I-Land 2 in the first half of 2024. Additionally, they announced the opening of global auditions for girls born before January 1, 2011, and a global audition tour was held in 10 countries and 13 cities.[7] [8]
A second season of I-Land was promoted since 2020 as a collaboration with Belift Lab and Hybe. This initial plan eventually fell through, and Belift Lab instead produced R U Next?.[9] [10]
On July 24, 2023, Mnet announced that they would collaborate with producer Teddy Park and his label; The Black Label. On November 28, on the first day of the 2023 MAMA Awards, Mnet revealed that I-LAND 2 will premiere in April 2024.[19] On February 5, 2024, it was revealed through the media that I-LAND 2 had attracted around 20,000 applicants from a global audition tour that ended in October 2023.[20] On March 11, it was announced that the show will premiere on April 18,[21] while the show's producers and performance directors were revealed to be BIGBANG's Taeyang, dancers Monika and Lee Jung, and producers 24 and VVN a week later.[22]

The contestants are to perform a song in groups of three to five contestants. However, unlike the first season, the producers and directors will vote for those deemed worthy to go to I-Land instead of having the contestants who aren't performing participate in a vote for each performer. If a contestant receives three or more votes from the producers, they get the chance to go to I-Land; otherwise, they go to Ground. However, if more than 12 contestants received enough votes to get a chance to go to I-Land after the entrance test is complete, those who were voted to enter I-Land must choose a certain number, based on the number of producer and director votes received, of contestants among themselves to keep in I-Land. Those with the fewest votes would be moved to Ground until only 12 remain.

For this mission, all of I-Land is one unit, and all of Ground is another unit. Both units have to perform the signal song of the show, Final Love Song. The parts for this mission is decided by the highest ranking contestant from the previous mission in I-Land, being Jungeun, and in Ground, all the contestants vote for a leader to make the part decisions. For the I-Land performance, each I-Lander gets assessed individually by the producers and the directors, based on how well they executed their parts in the performance of the Signal Song. The average score that the I-Landers receive as a team determines how many people will be demoted from I-Land; the lower the average score, the more demotion candidates there would be. The I-Landers received an average score of 84(.5), therefore three I-Landers would get moved out of I-Land by the I-Landers own votes. Each I-Lander would receive three votes to use to choose who to keep in I-Land and following the vote, the three I-Landers with the fewest votes would be demoted to Ground, which would open up three spots in I-Land for replacement contestants from Ground. The producers and directors would then watch the Grounders performance and choose three of them to replace the demoted I-Landers.

For this mission, both the I-Landers and the Grounders will be divided into two units. The units will be decided based on whoever the I-Landers and Grounders partnered up with for team-building activities prior to the mission; in other words, partners cannot be in the same unit. Each partner duo have to decide between each other which unit to be in based on the song they'd have to perform. Both I-Land and Ground will each get two songs each, for a total of four songs overall. The I-Landers received Whistle by Blackpink and Panorama by Iz*One, while the Grounders received Bad Boy by Red Velvet and Like Ooh-Ahh by Twice. The parts for this mission are decided by the leader of each unit, which was decided through a vote. Each contestant is assessed individually and the combined score of all six members determines the unit score. In I-Land, if one unit defeats the other, by having a higher unit score, all the members of the defeated unit will all move down to Ground, while for Ground, the members of the winning unit will all go up to I-Land. After all the necessary contestants have been moved between I-Land to Ground, the first elimination of the show will take place where the two contestants with the lowest scores from either of the losing units would be eliminated from the show.

For this mission, both the I-Landers and the Grounders will have to divide themselves up into three units, a vocal unit consisting of two people, a dance unit consisting of three people, and a creative unit consisting of the rest of I-Land or Ground. The I-Land unit of one category would go up against the respective matching unit from Ground. The vocal units receive one song each, the dance units; two each, and the creative units get the same song. The creative unit has the extra job of creating their own choreography from scratch for the song they receive. Each contestant is assessed individually and the average score of all of the contestants in the unit would determine the unit score, which was always rounded down to the whole number. For every I-Land unit that receives a lower unit score than the matching Ground unit, three members from I-Land would be demoted down to Ground following all of the performances. This would make for a maximum of nine contestants' demotions from I-Land. The amount of promotions from Ground would match the amount of demoted I-Landers. The demoted contestants would be decided by whichever contestants had the lowest scores from I-Land, and the promoted contestants would be decided by whichever contestants had the highest scores from Ground. After all the necessary contestants have been moved between I-Land to Ground, the second elimination of the show will take place where the two contestants from Ground with the lowest individual scores would be eliminated from the show.

Right after the relocation of contestants from the results of the Unit Battle, the producers introduce a lyric writing mini mission to the contestants for the original song, I Will Always Love You (IWALY). The winner of this mini mission gets their written lyrics featured in the song, their name featured as a co-lyricist of the song, and the benefit of choosing whatever part they want, regardless of what the other contestants chose for their desired part, when it came time to choose for this mission. Fuko is revealed as the winner of the mini mission, and the I-Landers proceed to choosing their desired team and parts, in the order of the producer-formulated ranking. After the other 11 contestants have chosen their desired parts, Fuko, as the winner of the mini mission, gets to choose whatever part she wants, whether it was occupied already or not. She chose Team A's center, therefore moving Jiyoon, who previously selected that part, to the final empty part of the mission, being Team B's Main Vocalist. The contestants who selected the same part on different teams, e.g. Team A's Center and Team B's Center, are compared by the producers following the performances and the winner of the matchup, or the person who performed the part better, automatically advances to Part 2 of the show. The loser of the matchup gets demoted to Ground and will have to wait for the results of the 1st Save Vote to be revealed, alongside the Grounders. For the Grounders, their performance was more of "a final performance to impress the audience to have them vote for you" instead of having some of them replace the demoted I-Landers. Their parts were decided by their leader, which was decided through a vote, and they were not assessed directly by the producers during and after their performance.

The Grounders, after the final mission of Part 1, have been waiting to find out the results of the 1st Save Vote, where each I-Mate can vote for 6 contestants that they want to advance to Part 2 daily. A total of 50% of each contestant's points are based on Korean votes and the other 50% is based on international votes. The two vote counts would be added together and converted into a points total for each contestant. The contestants with the top 6 highest points totals would automatically advance to Part 2, while the rest of the contestants would be eliminated from the show.

The second part of the show tells the I-Landers that there will initially be 6 members in the debut lineup. By the end of Part 2 thought, there turns out to be 7 members in the debut lineup, but when Part 2 starts, the I-Landers are unknowing of this fact. Within I-Land, the 12 contestants who advanced from the first part will all be assigned rooms based on their ranking; the higher the ranking, the better the amenities their room will contain. In addition, the producers can now watch the trainees prepare for each test in real time in a secret room within the I-Land building. Immediately after each test, the results of each contestant will be revealed. The top six trainees will all wear a badge that symbolizes that they would be part of the debut group if the show were to end there, but the ownership of the badges can change depending on the results of each mission, which determines who gets to be part of the top 6.
For this mission, the contestants were divided up by the producers into three groups of four, and each group was automatically given a song, without opinion from any of the contestants. Each unit's leader was automatically decided by the producers as well, while the contestants in each group decided the parts amongst themselves. Instead of performing on the I-Stage from Part 1, the place where the I-Stage used to be were three vans used to transport each unit to a new performance stage (CJ ENM Ilsan Studio). Each contestant was scored individually, 50% of their score came from the 233 I-Mates votes who attended the performance in real time, and the other 50% of their points came from the producer-given score. The I-Mate score is determined by how many votes each contestant gets, the contestant with the most votes, or first place, would get 100 points and each place downwards would get two points less, until twelfth place, getting 78 points. The producer-given score would then be added onto the I-Mate score and the sum would become their total score. The contestants are then ordered by their total score for their rankings, following the Black Made Test.

For this mission, the contestants were divided up by the producers into four groups of varying numbers of contestants, and each group was automatically given a song, again, also by the producers. Each unit's leader was the contestant with the highest ranking from the previous mission. The parts for this mission were chosen by the contestants in their ranking order from best to worst. Each contestant was scored individually, 50% of their score came from the 300 I-Mates votes who attended the performance in real time, and the other 50% of their points came from the producer-given score. The I-Mate score is determined by how many votes each contestant gets, the contestant with the most votes, or first place, would get 100 points and each place downwards would get two points less, until twelfth place, getting 78 points. The producer-given score would then be added onto the I-Mate score and the sum would become their total score. The contestants are then ordered by their total score for their rankings, following the Main Position Test.

For this semi-final mission, the whole concept of the mission was to have the contestants take care of creating everything that was to be part of their unit's final performance, from the costumes and makeup, to set design and even part distribution. The contestants started by having to divide themselves up into two units of six. Each unit's leader and center was the first and second ranking contestant from the previous mission, being Koko and Jeemin respectively. The rest of the contestants of each unit were chosen in alternate by the two leaders, starting with Koko due to her higher rank. After the units were fully formed, the units were to decide between 9 songs to perform, selecting one as their choice. They were able to choose between 'Into the New World', 'Bad Girl Good Girl', 'Happiness', 'Latata', 'Dalla Dalla', 'Black Mamba', 'Eleven', 'Fearless', and 'Attention'. Koko's unit had the privilege of getting priority when choosing their units song due to Koko's higher ranking, meaning if Jeemin's unit were to want the same song, they wouldn't be able to have it. The contestants were not assessed directly during and after their performances. Following the performances, the results of the 2nd Save Vote were shown, and three contestants were marked safe through the Save Vote. Directly after this reveal, the producers selected their seven picks out of the nine remaining contestants for a total of ten contestants who will be able to participate in the final episode test.

For this final mission, the contestants were shown two original songs produced by Teddy to perform. The members of each unit and their parts were pre-decided by Teddy himself. Each unit's leader was decided through a vote by the group members. The contestants were not assessed directly during and after their performances. Following the performances, the results of the Final Save Vote were shown, and five contestants were marked safe through the Save Vote. Directly after this reveal, the producers selected their two more picks out of the five remaining contestants for a total of seven contestants who will be part of the final debut group: Izna.
The name Izna is derived from the words "whenever, wherever, whatever". It alludes to the fact that the group aims to be one with no limits to their confidence.
