I - Land 2 Review

The debut lineup:

Following the massive success of I-LAND (which birthed ENHYPEN) and I-LAND 2: N/a (which formed izna), the landscape of survival shows has shifted. While the original I-LAND was a male-dominated affair under the joint venture of CJ ENM and HYBE, I-LAND 2 took a radically different turn. i - land 2
