Episodes[]
Episode 1 (12 March 2020)[]
Four mentors arrive at the welcome party and met the 109 trainees. In the last seasons, the mentors would only be able to meet the trainees on the stage of preliminary rating. This time the mentors get to meet them in advance to learn about their characters and backgrounds so that they can talk with the trainees in a better way. Every trainee introduces herself at the party and seated herself around a very long table next to each other. On the next day, the four mentors give their performance on the stage for the trainees. Dance mentor Lisa performs In the Name of Love and Attention; rap mentor Jony J performs My Man; vocal mentor Ella performs How Old Are You; and youth producers' representative Kun performs YOUNG. Then comes the stage of preliminary rating for the trainees. The trainees who choose the same song are automatically paired one-to-one and compete against each other. The one-to-one performance makes it easier to observe and compare the trainees. The mentors will then rank them from Class A to F according to their performance.
Episode 2 (14 March 2020)[]
The stage of preliminary rating continues. Kong Xueer becomes the first trainee that is assigned to Class A. She and Zhao Xiaotang talk about being trainees who have already debuted before and how their experiences make them more mature and independent, resonating many trainees who have similar experiences. Wang Qing and Zhang Yu perform Theme Song of Love using their unique style and make all the mentors and trainees laugh a lot. Wang Qing's management of facial expression and her overall performance touch the judges and get she into Class A. A fierce battle rises within Shangguan Xiai, An Qi and Xu Jiaqi. All of them prove themselves by their solo performances and are all assigned to A class. Chua Zhuoyi bursts into tears when she shares how she feels about the odium from people on the Internet towards her. They think that her experience makes her "unqualified" for being a member of a girls' team. She insists that she doesn't live in the comments at all, and she will love herself, be herself, and go ahead bravely. Vocal mentor Ella says that girls shouldn't have only one look, and a girls' team shouldn't be defined, so Youth With You Season 2 will let girls' team have an evolution.
Episode 3 (19 March 2020)[]
The stage of preliminary rating continues. Duan Xiaowei's performance of new Japanese sign dance amazes everyone. Then she is assigned to Class A. After performing, "chatty" Yu Shuxin spends 3 minutes explaining how she tries to show her feelings through acting in the show, but Kun points out that Shuxin is trying too hard and it is better if she just highlights particular parts. As time goes, sleepiness comes quietly, but Yu Yan's stunning opening of her show awakes everyone, and she is assigned to Class A. Only Liu Yuxin chooses No Joke, so she does not have a rival. Her perfect performance wins mentor over. Lisa says this is what she has been waiting for, and Yuxin aced all the aspects. Everyone is very surprised about Qinniu Zhengwei coming to this stage, but Qin thinks it is difficult to understand someone through the Internet, so she wants to show more about herself through the program. The battle between AKB48 and SNH48 also attracts everyone's attention as the two groups are from the same system. Though they already have some achievement in their circle, Mo Han says they are in a status of closed-loop development, so they want to get out of the loop and make progress step by step. Ella points out that both groups' performances are quite formulized and lack personal characteristics. They should think about what kind of girl group members they want to become to let people remember each of them. Everyone in these two teams is assigned to Class D.
Episode 4 (21 March 2020)[]
The stage of preliminary rating continues. It begins with the competition within the original rap team. Jony J says rappers in this program are like playing away from home because this is the home for trainees. He is stricter than the trainees expect. When he criticizes Gia's performance, everyone is quite shocked. As a professional rapper, NINEONE has released over 30 original pieces, but Jony J says the song she chooses is not competent enough in such a competitive part because it doesn't show what she is capable of. Kun and Jony J have different opinions on Xie Keyin's ranking. Kun thinks Xie Keyin deserves Class A based on her performance as a whole. Still, Jony believes it is better to give her a signal that she is good, but not good enough, so they assign her to Class B. After the performance of rap team, Lin Xiaozhai attracts the trainees' attention because she is already a very famous influencer and owns a successful business. Xiaozhai says she chooses to come here because she thinks an Internet influencer's career is very fragile, so she wants to develop more skills. The performance of the girls from Yuehua ENT is great as a whole, but the mentors are not impressed by any of them as they don't have distinct characteristics, so all of them are assigned to Class C.

Controversy[]
Shen Bing's Controversy[]
On 25 March, a man who claimed to be Shen Bing's boyfriend posted a statement that he had been seeing her since September 2019 and hidden his marriage from her. According to him, Shen Bing had made threatening comments to his wife after learning of his marriage. Thereafter, Shen Bing withdrew from the show, stating that she had had no idea about his marriage, contradicting what her boyfriend had said.
Final Episode's Controversy[]
On the final episode of Youth With You Season 2, when the song "Hunt" was performed live, the audio quality during the live stage was poor and some of the trainee's voices couldn't be heard. Many netizens were disappointed by the poor audio and the trainee's poor vocals, and trended the topic on Weibo, with many calling it a "car accident". When trainee Yu Shuxin was announced a member of THE9, she sang a song to prove her vocal abilities after many found her performance in "Hunt" disappointing.
The same day, Dove posted in Weibo to congratulate Liu Yuxin for becoming the first in Youth With You Season 2 before the result was announced. Then, it was deleted. The next day, Dove clarified that the staff will send out congratulations in advance.
