I-Land |
I-Land2: N/a (Korean: 아이랜드 2; stylized in all caps) is an ongoing 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. It premiered on Mnet on April 18, 2024, and airs every Thursday at 20:50 (KST)[3] and will follow the process of creating a new girl group.[4] The resulting girl group will be trained and managed under WakeOne and become their first non-temporary girl group with a standard contract.[5]
Concept[edit]
In a setup similar to last season, twenty-four trainees are brought to a complex in the middle of a lush green forest. They will stay in either "I-Land" or the "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 in I-Land. The remaining trainees will be sent to a simpler building called the "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. The Ground is a short walk from the other two connected buildings. The show's concept revolves around the participants' and producers' votes, which play a crucial role in deciding who stays in I-Land and who goes to the Ground. Because I-Land can only accommodate 12 trainees, the trainees 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.
Background and promotion[edit]
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.[6][7]
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?.[8][9]
- On September 18, 2020, during the finale of the first season of I-Land, at the very end during the credits, it was revealed that auditions would begin shortly in preparation for debuting a girl group.[10] An online audition called 'WWW Untact Audition' was held in December 2020.[11]
- On September 27, 2021, Mnet, Belift Lab and HYBE revealed the first teaser video announcing a new season to be called 'I-Land 2' and a global online audition was to be held in seven locations: Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Australia, Thailand, Taiwan, and the United States.[12][13] The applicant submissions began on September 27 and ended on October 10. Any female born before December 31, 2009, regardless of nationality or place of residence, were eligible to apply and over 141,227 applications were received.[14] For those who passed the first round, a real-time video call audition was held from October 24 to November 21 and the final candidates were selected through another audition.[15]
- On July 15, 2022, Mnet said that they had decided to temporarily postpone the airing of the show which was scheduled to air in 2022".[16][17]
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.[18] 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.[19] On March 11, it was announced that the show will premiere on April 18,[20] while the show's producers and performance directors were revealed to be BIGBANG's Taeyang, dancers Monica and Lee Jung, and producers 24 and VVN a week later.[21]

Missions[edit]
Part 1[edit]
Entrance Test[edit]
The contestants are to perform a song in groups. However, unlike the first season, the producers and directors will vote for those deemed worthy to go to I-Land. If a contestant receives three or more votes, they get the chance to go to I-Land; otherwise, they go to the 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 amount of producer and director votes received, of contestants among themselves to keep in I-Land. Those with the least votes would be moved to the Ground until only 12 remain.

Signal Song Test[edit]
Each I-Lander gets graded individually by the producers and the directors, based on how well they executed their part(s) in the Signal Song (Final Love Song). The average score that I-Landers receive as a team determines how many elimination candidates there can be; the lower the average score, the more elimination 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 votes. Each I-Lander would receive three votes to use to choose who to keep in I-Land. The three I-Landers with the least votes would be demoted to Ground which would open up three I-Land spots. The producers and directors would then watch the Grounders performance and choose three of them to replace the demoted I-Landers.

Seesaw Game[edit]
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 pair up with; in other words, partners cannot be in the same unit. Both I-Land and Ground will each get two songs, for a total of four songs. The I-Landers received Whistle by Blackpink and Panorama by Iz*One, while the Grounders received Like Ooh-Ahh by Twice and Red Velvet's Bad Boy. In I-Land, if one unit defeats the other, the defeated unit will all go move down to Ground, while for Ground, whoever wins will all go up to I-Land. Following the relocation of contestants from I-Land to Ground and vice versa, the first elimination of the show will take place; two members from either of the losing units would be eliminated from the show.

Unit Battle[edit]
For this mission, both the I-Landers and the Grounders will have to divide themselves up into 3 units, a vocal unit consisting of 2 people, a dance unit consisting of 3 people, and a creative unit consisting of the rest of I-Land or Ground (7 and 5 respectively). The I-Land unit of one category would go up against the respective matching unit from Ground. The vocal units receive 1 song each, the dance units, 2 each, and the creative units get the same song. The creative unit got the extra job to create their own choreography for the song they received. If an I-Land unit loses to the matching Ground unit, 3 members from I-Land would be demoted down to Ground following all of the performances. This would make for a maximum of 9 contestants' demotions from I-Land. Following the relocation of contestants from I-Land to Ground and vice versa, the second elimination of the show would take place; two members from the Ground would be eliminated from the show.
