The K-pop star is the resident dance mentor on series two of the Chinese survival talent show Youth With You
Her no-nonsense approach upset some viewers, but other praised ‘strict’ Lisa for her professionalism

K-pop’s Lisa is many things: fresh-faced maknae (youngest member) of popular girl group Blackpink, bona fide style icon with more than 31 million followers on Instagram and, most importantly, a charismatic dance prodigy who many aspiring idols look up to.

These are among the many reasons the multilingual star was chosen to be a resident dance coach on the Chinese survival TV show Youth With You, alongside other superstar mentors including mainland Chinese singer, dancer and rapper Cai Xukun, Taiwanese singer-actress Ella Chen and mainland Chinese pop singer Jony J.
