2020–2021: I-LAND, first fanmeeting, and agency changes
On June 2, 2020, he was introduced as a participant in the CJ ENM and Big Hit Entertainment's then upcoming survival show I-LAND. On the first episode, he performed "Jopping" by SuperM, along with NI-KI and Nicholas, but was unfortunately 'eliminated' by voting among the trainees and was placed in "Ground".

On December 31, Hanbin performed a solo pre-opening stage[5] at Big Hit NYEL Concert to the song "I&Credible."[6]
On June 2, 2021, Belift Lab announced that Hanbin had left the agency following discussions with one another.[7] Later that day, it was revealed that Hanbin had signed with Yuehua Entertainment.[8]
