Mai

She has a very mature personality, backed by leadership experience heading a dance club of over 100 members, as well as strong social skills gained through part-time job experience. A defining aspect of her character is the human resilience and mental fortitude she built by navigating the real world firsthand

During I-LAND 2 stage preparations, she noticed Kim Sujeong going through a tough time and approached her with warm words of comfort, moving Sujeong to tears. This moment showed that despite her sharp, feline visual impression, she has a deeply caring and gentle heart.

People close to her describe her as exceptionally kind and diligent. She embodies the "soft on the outside, strong on the inside" (외유내강) personality—she rarely complains about hardships, quietly carries out her assigned roles, and warmly looks after others.

When assigned Part 12—the smallest part with the least screen time—in the I-LAND 2 Signal Song test, she never let her disappointment show. Instead, she stayed positive, studied ways to make even a small moment shine, and gave her absolute best.

During the Creative Unit evaluation, she stepped up to lead overall practice and choreograph on behalf of team members who had no choreography creation experience, showcasing her strong leadership.

Even during difficult times, she makes an effort to stay positive and enjoy the process. She maintains the perspective: "Even if it's hard right now, looking back later, it won't be a big deal." She also keeps herself grounded with the comforting reminder: "There are always many people living diligently in far harder situations than mine."

Mai has mentioned that her main charming point is giving off a cool or somewhat sharp first impression, while actually being very warm, approachable, and affectionate

he other izna members gave her the nickname "Mama-chan" because of her attentive, nurturing nature. She loves taking care of others, cooking Japanese dishes like curry and oyakodon for people, and keeping her living space clean.

Throughout I-LAND 2, producers and fans praised her strong work ethic and growth mindset. Even when facing challenging roles, she remained resilient, showing quiet leadership and determination.

She is more of an indoor person and a night owl. Her favorite hobbies are cozy and hands-on, such as knitting, cooking, and making keychains or decorations.

Despite her confident stage presence, she is easily startled and hates anything scary.

Most officially listed as ISTP (introverted, practical, cool under pressure).

Formed through the high-stakes crucible of Mnet’s survival program I-LAND 2: N/α, izna is a globally-oriented girl group under WakeOne that has redefined the modern idol archetype through the sonic lens of legendary producer Teddy Park. The ensemble, which solidified its identity as a six-piece powerhouse following a lineup shift in 2025, is anchored by a synergistic blend of distinct personas: Mai, the Japanese eldest, brings a sophisticated visual elegance and grounded maturity to the group’s leadership; Bang Jeemin, the group’s central pillar, offers a narrative of resilience and star power, having ascended to her position as a fan-favorite through multiple survival show journeys; Koko, a statuesque performance specialist, serves as the primary dancer and rapper with a commanding physical presence and rhythmic precision; Ryu Sarang, the versatile "all-rounder," is celebrated for her mercurial stage presence and "expression genius" that seamlessly bridges the group's vocal and dance lines; Choi Jungeun, the finale's top-ranked contestant, provides the group’s technical vocal backbone with her expansive range and unwavering live stability; and Jeong Saebi, the quintessential maknae, captivates audiences with her instinctive charisma and "born-to-be-idol" energy. Collectively, izna embodies their name—an acronymic promise of "Anytime, Anywhere, Anything"—by navigating a high-concept discography that oscillates between avant-garde hip-hop and melodic synth-pop, a versatility that has secured their position as 2026’s definitive "Rookie of the Year" titans and galvanized their international fandom, naya, through record-breaking world tours and high-fashion collaborations.
