I-Land 2: N/a (Korean: 아이랜드 2; stylized in all caps) is an ongoing South Korean girl group survival reality competition series created by Mnet. 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) and will follow the process of creating a new girl group. The resulting girl group will be trained and managed under WakeOne, a wholly owned CJ ENM subsidiary, becoming their first non-temporary girl group with a standard contract. Concept 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. The two buildings are connected by a gate (known as the Meta Ball) and a stage where the participants' skills will be evaluated. 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 A second season of I-Land was promoted in 2020 as a collaboration with Belift Lab and Hybe. This initial plan eventually fell through, and Belift Lab instead produced R U Next?. On July 9, 2023, Mnet officially confirmed they plan to air I-Land 2 in the first half of 2024.

However, unlike the first season, the producers will vote for those deemed worthy to go to I-Land. If a trainee receives three or more votes, they go to I-Land; otherwise, they go to the Ground. However, if more than 12 contestants were voted to go to I-Land after the entrance test is complete, those who were voted to enter the I-Land must choose one or more among themselves to keep in I-Land. Those with the least votes would be moved to the Ground until only 12 remain.
