On the afternoon of the 12th, with the attendance of producers Kim ShinYoung and Lee ChangKyu, along with music industry giants such as BIGBANG TaeYang (main producer), 24, WVVE (music producer), Monica, and Lee Jung (performance director), the program revealed its efforts to create new values beyond just being an audition.
‘Island 2’ is an idol debut project involving 24 contestants selected from 13 cities across 10 countries. Among them, actor Song Kang adds depth to the program by participating as a storyteller. However, the program faced challenges from the start, with allegations that one of the contestants had been bullied during middle school.
In response, PD Kim ShinYoung stated that a thorough verification process was conducted through in-depth interviews with both the contestants and their guardians, as well as a review of their school records. He expressed, “We will take immediate action against any unacceptable serious matters,” showing a strong commitment to maintaining the program’s integrity and safety.
‘Island 2’ is recognized as a new attempt to preemptively block the risk of school violence in the industry, beyond just forming a new girl group. With its first broadcast scheduled for 8:50 PM on the 18th, there’s keen interest from both inside and outside the industry about what new horizons the program will open.
The production team’s efforts are anticipated to bear fruit, and ‘Island 2’ is expected to offer new hope and dreams to the audience, with its future developments eagerly awaited.
