"Is this everyone?" Seon asked.
"Twenty three, is that all of us?" Jay added, looking around. Just as he said so, the number stuck on the screen turned to fourteen.
"What?" the room was filled with the confused sounds of the I-LAND contenders.
"Why is it suddenly fourteen?" Sunoo asked to no one in particular.
"Ooh, someone's coming"

"Unnie, I don't want to go in first, I'm nervous," Haneul said, stopping just before we step into the contestant-filled room.
"Do you want to go first?" Alice asked Binna, the oldest of the bunch.
"That room is filled with twenty-three boys, it's kind of intimidating," Binna chuckled nervously, earning Haneul and Alice's agreement.
Without uttering a word, I stepped forward and entered the lit up corridor, leading our way into the room. Immediately, I noticed a large fourteen displayed on a screen behind where the contenders sat.
The murmurs and surprised reaction from the boys were very much audible, and I find myself getting nervous again. We gave each other bows and the girls and I stood in one line.

"Here they come," Rain smiled. "Do they know that there was going to be girls as well?"
"No, not really, but they know that we'll send some really interesting trainees," Bang PD explained. Everyone had signed a contract before joining so they should be fine."We found that co-ed groups have not been doing that well so we really want to debut one that will hopefully succeed."
"As you can tell, there's mostly male members, because the girls aren't set to debut. All of them can get eliminated as well and we'll be left with a boy group, we have to see if this will work well or not," he added.
"Co-ed groups are hard, usually people specialise in either a boy or a girl group," Zico commented.
"That's true, we hope that we can see great potential through I-Land. Co-ed groups could bring so much to the table."
