Mnet’s popular show I-Land 2 aired its finale on July 4, where seven participants were announced as winners. The I-Land 2 winners will debut as the new group, IZNA. Here, we look at IZNA members’ ages and profiles as they prepare for their much-awaited debut.
The finale of I-Land 2 had its fair share of surprises and twists that many did not anticipate. IZNA was originally supposed to be a six-person group. But in the end, the judges surprised the audience by announcing that one more member would be added to the group.
On the other hand, one of the most fan-favorite contestants, Fuko, was not a part of the IZNA debut lineup. The WakeOne trainee excelled in almost every round of I-Land 2. Her goodbye speech reflected her current disappointment, where she talked about training for seven years and still not getting the chance to make a debut.
