BEIJING, Mar. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

After much anticipation, the second season of Youth With You finally premiered 
on March 12, 2020. As a new attempt to competition-based reality TV, Youth With 
You pioneered the practice of completing post-production to meet local 
standards of multiple countries. The show will be officially presented in 8 
languages on the iQIYI APP: Chinese, English, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, 
Malay, Spanish and Korean. It will also innovatively attempt a "two episodes 
per week" update frequency, releasing globally every Thursday and Saturday at 
8pm (GMT+8). Its superstar cast of Youth Producers' Representative KUN, Dance 
Mentor LISA, Vocal Mentor Ella, and Rap Mentor JONY J is catching lots of 
attention, so is its brand new, multi-layered contest rules.

Youth With You is the first to launch the "Trainee Welcome Party" model in 
order to help the mentors get to know the contestants more. This is also the 
first time the show is opening with a Mentor Spotlight Showcase. All the 
mentors must prove their capabilities before becoming role models for the 
trainees. KUN ignited the stage with his original singing-dancing sensation 
"Young". Many of the trainees look up to LISA as their idol and goalpost. 
LISA's dance to "In The Name Of Love + Attention" got the whole crowd screaming 
for more. Some of the girls were moved to tears, describing her as "dancing 
with her whole self, down to every hair" Ella and JONY J displayed their vocal 
and rap talents respectively in "How Old Are You" and "MY MAN". 

Another highlight to watch out for is the use of PK in the initial evaluation. 
Groups who picked the same song must battle it out, allowing everyone to better 
observe and compare their performance. The 4 mentors were rather strict with 
this group of contestants. The first episode failed to yield any Class A 
trainees.

It is clear from the show that LISA, for whom this is the first experience 
Chinese variety TV, quickly adjusted to the rhythm of Youth With You. According 
to internal sources, the lovely LISA had many emotional moments during the 
show, shedding tears of excitement and blushing from shyness. 

For more exciting updates, please continue to follow Youth With You.
