Who Is Izna?

Izna is a seven-member girl group formed through Mnet’s survival program “I-LAND 2: N/a,” which aired from April to July 2024. The show was a sequel to the popular 2020 series “I-LAND” that produced ENHYPEN, and the second season of “I-LAND” that created a new K-Pop powerhouse girl group.

The name “Izna” represents the concept of individuality and unity — with each member possessing a distinct personality and talent, yet coming together to create something extraordinary as a group. The group is managed by WAKEONE Entertainment, the same agency behind the successful groups Kep1er and ZEROBASEONE.

Izna’s debut single “IZNA” from their first mini-album “N/a” received positive reviews from critics and fans alike. The track showcases a powerful, edgy concept with hip-hop influences, setting them apart from the more traditionally “cute” or “innocent” concepts often seen in debut girl groups. Their performance style combines sharp choreography, charismatic stage presence, and strong vocals.

The group consists of:

  1. Jiyoon — Main Vocalist
  2. Koko — Main Dancer
  3. Jung Saebi — Lead Vocalist
  4. Sarang — Lead Dancer
  5. Ryu Sarang — Sub-Vocalist
  6. Choi Jungeun — Main Vocalist
  7. Bang Ji-min — Sub-Vocalist

Group History

Formation and Pre-Debut

The journey to forming Izna began with Mnet’s “I-LAND 2: N/a,” which premiered on April 18, 2024. The show featured 24 contestants competing for the opportunity to debut in a new girl group under WAKEONE Entertainment. The program was hosted by Kim Taerae of ZEROBASEONE, with producers including Lee Je-hyukSeo Yong-bae, and LIL G. The show also featured performances by Somi and Teddy as special judges.

The competition format differed from the original “I-LAND” in several ways. Contestants participated in various missions, including vocal, dance, and performance challenges. The evaluation criteria combined producer scores and global fan voting, emphasizing both technical skills and public appeal.

Through multiple elimination rounds, the final lineup was selected:

  • Jiyoon (Rank 3)
  • Koko (Rank 4)
  • Jung Saebi (Rank 7)
  • Sarang (Rank 5)
  • Ryu Sarang (Rank 6)
  • Choi Jungeun (Rank 2)
  • Bang Ji-min (Rank 1)

The final episode was broadcast on July 4, 2024, confirming the seven members who would debut as Izna.

Official Debut

Izna made their highly anticipated debut on November 25, 2024, with their first mini-album “N/a” at 6:00 PM KST. The album features several tracks, including the title track “IZNA” and “Timebomb,” “Drip,” and “Fake It” as B-sides. The title song, produced by Teddy, stands out for its bold hip-hop-inspired sound, which contrasted with the more conventional debut songs typically associated with girl groups.

The group held a debut showcase at the Yes24 Live Hall in Seoul on the same day, performing their debut stage for the first time in front of fans. The showcase was streamed globally, attracting significant attention from international K-Pop fans.

Breakthrough Success

Within their first week of debut, Izna achieved impressive commercial success. Their debut album “N/a” sold over 150,000 copies in the first week, making them one of the best-selling rookie girl groups of 2024. The title track “IZNA” charted on major Korean music platforms, including Melon, Genie, and Bugs.

Under the leadership of CEO and producer Seo Hyun-joo, the company has developed a reputation for producing high-quality content and maximizing the global potential of their artists.

The group’s creative direction has been heavily influenced by Teddy, the renowned producer from THEBLACKLABEL, who wrote and produced their debut title track.
