I-LAND2: N/α (Hangul: 아이랜드2: N/a) was a 2024 girl group survival show created by Mnet in partnership with Wake One Entertainment. It is a direct sequel to the boy group survival show, I-LAND, which formed the group, ENHYPEN.
Initially the group was to be made through collaborations with HYBE LABELS' BELIFT LAB and Mnet, however plans fell through and the show, R U NEXT?, was formed with the intent to find ENHYPEN's sister group. Although being from the same show, I-LAND 2's final group will not be under HYBE or affiliated with BELIFT LAB's artists.
