The show started with 23 extremely talented trainees and ended with the debut of the seven members- Jungwon, Heesung, JAY, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and NIKI. Even though it was just the seven of them who debuted, each of the 23 members was able to gain their own fanbase because of their outstanding talent. September 17, 2020, was the date when ENHYPEN was formed, which later debuted on November 30, 2021.

Of course, the seven of them were able to make it through because of the unmatched support from their fanbases. But, apart from the seven, the other 16 members also received an unconditional amount of love. All the followers of the show experienced a bittersweet emotion the day the show’s grand finale was aired. On one side, where they celebrated the birth of the new K-pop sensation, they were also a little disheartened to not see their favorite members not debut. However, the regular updates about their favorite members were enough to make the audience happy.

I-LAND brought a plethora of emotions and was enough to bind the audience together until the very last. With the same emotion and higher expectations, audiences are eagerly waiting for the next season of the show.
