Siren: Survive the Island is a South Korean reality competition series on Netflix. 24 women participate in this program, organized into six groups of four based on their professions including police officers, firefighters, bodyguards, soldiers, athletes and stuntwomen. These teams compete on a distant island through seven days of challenges with the ultimate goal of being the last person standing.

Ten episodes make up the season. The initial five episodes premiered on May 30, 2023, followed by the final five on June 6, 2023. The Team Athlete emerged victorious.

This series differs from typical reality shows because contestants received payment for taking part, and the winner did not get any prize money. Director Lee Eun Kyung explained that she wanted to showcase integrity within public service: "The participants are public servants who have staked their professional honor on this competition. From the start, they didn't come to fight for money but for the honor." Every contestant received the same compensation regardless of elimination.

Siren: Survive the Island holds a 100% average Tomatometer and 96% average Popcornometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Netflix chose not to continue the series beyond its first season.
