In this edition of ‘I-LAND,’ which chronicles the competition and personal growth of participants in the distinct spaces of ‘I-LAND’ and ‘Ground,’ the ‘Storyteller’ is a symbolic bridge connecting viewers to the show’s universe.
Following the impactful presence of actor Namgoong Min in the first season, the versatile and popular Song Kang is expected to bring his charm to various genres.
Delighted to join the journary
As the next-generation storyteller overseeing the contestants’ development and steering the narrative, Song Kang expressed his enthusiasm:

Returning for its second season, ‘I-LAND2: N/a’ aims to document the creation of a girl group poised to set new trends in the global music market through unprecedented collaborations.
