“CHUANG 2021” and “Youth With You 3”: First Official Ranking and First Round Elimination

CHUANG 2021 and Youth With You 3 First Official Ranking and First Round Elimination

It was a teary episode for fans of both “CHUANG 2021” and “Youth With You 3” as they each went through the first official ranking and first round of eliminations on the March 20 episodes. Tencent and iQIYI decided to be cruel to viewers this year by airing at the same time. Fans are left with the hard option of choosing which show to watch first on Saturday nights/afternoons/mornings or Sunday morning.

“CHUANG 2021” went from 90 trainees to 55 trainees. After eliminating 35 trainees, there are only A, B, and C classes remaining. Trainees ranked from 34-55 will be placed in C class, 12-33 in B class, and 1-11 in A class. These rankings were based on votes from the “founders”.

What was especially heartbreaking was LilStar (Liu Xin) placing 61st, which was 1 spot shy of escaping elimination in the first round. A day before the first public performance, Liu Xin received news of his grandfather’s passing. However, he couldn’t return home. After the first elimination recording on March 15, an account reported seeing Liu Xin crying and shaking en route to the airport for his grandfather’s funeral on March 16. It’s reported his Qin’s Entertainment labelmate, Mu Ziyang, who is from the group ONER and also participated in iQIYI’s “Idol Producer”, accompanied him home. It’s also reported Liu Xin grew up in a single parent family and was raised by his grandfather.
