Izna (Korean: 이즈나; RR: Ijeuna; MR: Ijŭna; stylized in all lowercase) is an upcoming South Korean girl group under WakeOne and co-produced by The Black Label, produced by Teddy Park, that was formed through the Mnet survival show I-Land 2: N/a. The group consists of 7 members: Mai, Jeemin, Jiyoon, Koko, Sarang, Jungeun and Saebi.[1]
Name
editThe group 'Izna', which was created through tests and competitions on I-Land 2: N/a to complete 'I(N/a)' by combining 'N', which has unpredictable diversity, and 'a', which has infinite possibilities, means 'Whenever, Wherever, Whatever = Me'.[2]
History
editFormation through I-Land 2 and pre-debut activities
editOn the final episode of Mnet's K-pop audition program I-Land 2 that aired on July 4, 2024, the new girl who will be produced by Teddy Park confirmed that Yoon Ji-yoon, Bang Jee-min, Choi Jung-eun, Ryu Sa-rang, Mai, and Jung Sae-bi were selected as the debut members.[3]
On July 5, 2024, according to their agency WakeOne, Izna was unusually selected as the model for HK Inno.N's slow-aging skincare brand 'Be Wants' before the final members and group name were announced the day before. In addition, it is said that Izna is receiving love calls for pictorials from various magazines.[4] Also, it was reported by Ten Asia that Izna will be performing at 'KCON LA 2024' held in LA from July 26 to 28 to meet North American fans even before their official debut. This KCON stage will likely be their first since they formed through the survival show.[5]
