BLACKPINK’s Lisa Became Shy When A “Youth With You 3” Trainee Auditioned To Be On Her Team

BLACKPINK‘s Lisa isn’t shy to let people know about her favorites! As the dance mentor of Youth With You 3, she’s seen and praised many trainees with exceptional skills. One of them, however, stands out above the rest.

Duan XingXing, also known as X, is a contestant from M-Nation whom Lisa has praised since the beginning.

For the mentor collaboration portion of the show, the Top 35 trainees auditioned in front of their mentors of choice to join their teams. When Lisa was asked whom she wanted to audition for her group, she whispered, “XingXing.”

He showed up just a little while later, and from Lisa’s expression, it was obvious that she was pleased!

XingXing was so confident that Lisa would accept him into her small team of five, he had no backup plan. There were no other mentors that he wanted to collaborate with.

Lisa: If you don’t make it here, where will yo go?

XingXing: I will definitely make it into Mentor Lisa’s team. No other options.
