History

In March 2019, BE:LIFT LAB was co-founded by South Korean entertainment agencies CJ ENM and Big Hit Entertainment, with plans of creating a new band in 2020. Auditions commenced the same month in Seoul, the United States, Taiwan, and Japan, among others, for male trainees born between 1997 and 2008. On May 8, 2020, television channel Mnet announced the survival competition series, I-Land(wiki), a joint venture of both companies that "follows the process of next generation K-pop artists being born." Enhypen was formed through I-Land(website), featuring 23 male idols who had been training under BE:LIFT LAB, and was aired weekly on Mnet from June 26 to September 18, 2020, and distributed internationally through Big Hit Entertainment's YouTube channel. The show was split into two parts. 12 contestants from the first part made it to the second part of the series. On the final episode of the show, seven members were selected out of the nine final contestants, with six being chosen by global ranking and the last member by the producer's choice. The debut line-up of the group with seven members, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki, was announced via live television broadcast of the finale.
