There, she was asked what it was like when she first joined the Chinese survival show Youth With You as a mentor.
Lisa revealed that the first time she went to China and recorded the show, she had a hard time. She said she faced difficulty because everyone was speaking Chinese, and she did not speak the language. Lisa revealed that most of the time, she was left confused because she did not understand what they were saying.

Check out Lisa's video with Rolling Stone here:
Lisa was the dance mentor of iQiyi's Chinese girl group survival show Youth With You Season 2 in March 2020.
While she filmed the first few episodes in China and met with the contestants face-to-face, she could not continue doing this for the rest of the series due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So the latter part of the season had Lisa video-calling the girls to mentor them as she stayed in South Korea.
Lisa was appointed as the dance mentor again in the Chinese boy group survival program Youth With You Season 3. This time, Lisa remained in South Korea, and all of her mentoring sessions were done through video calls.
Unfortunately, the show was canceled by the Chinese media government before the grand finale due to the program's milk-wasting controversies.
