iQiyi has already announced “Youth With You” alums, Li Ronghao (李荣浩) and BLACKPINK’s Lisa, are returning to the show for the third season. Many fans were excited at Lisa’s return to “Youth With You 3” (青春有你3) as a dance mentor. Rainie Yang (楊丞琳), who is one of the top celebrity fan girls, might’ve been too excited and revealed too much when she expressed wanting to meet Lisa.
