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.
