Originally, there were a total of 23 contestants who participated in I-LAND, however as the show progressed, one contestant (Kim Yoon-won), amidst the fifth episode in part 1, had voluntarily dropped out, possibly due to health problems.

From there, the I-Landers will compete among themselves in the second part of the series to determine who will debut in the final debut team of 7 members. While the show primarily focuses on the trainees and producers votes, the audience would be able to vote on who remains in the I-Land in the last part of part 1 of the show, and based on this, the show will eliminate all trainees in the Ground. A fixed number of 12 trainees will be in the I-Land, but they may be dropped and demoted to the Ground (and promptly be replaced by trainees from the Ground). A key part of the concept is that, the participants' and producers' votes play a heavy role in the show, as they decide through voting who will stay in I-Land and who will go down to the Ground. The two sections are connected through a gate and a stage, where their skills will be tested. The remaining others will be on the "Ground", which is a simple building with a dance studio and dining area, and the trainees assigned to the Ground have to commute to and from the building every day at set times. The participants will live in a 3-floor complex with modern living spaces, gym, dance studios, item room (for storage), and individual practice rooms however, only 12 contestants can stay there. Concept Ģ2 participants are transported to a complex (called by the same name as the show title, the I-Land) located in the middle of nowhere surrounded by a luscious green forest, for a total of 113 days.
