IXFORM was formed through Youth With You Season 3 aired from February 18 to May 1, 2021. The show's finale was initially set on May 8, where the debut team will be formed. However, the finale is cancelled beforehand after an order from Chinese media government bureau, as the show was embroiled in the milk-wasting controversy.{{Cite web|title=iQIYI issues apology for milk-wasting scandal|url=https://www.shine.cn/news/nation/2105078522/|access-date=2021-05-07|website=Shine|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=Why Chinese-Pop Fans Are Spending Millions on Milk (It's Not for Drinking)|url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/chinese-pop-idol-contest-milk-vote-youth-with-you/|access-date=2021-05-07|website=Vice|date=5 May 2021 }} The group with the top 9 lineup was alleged to have been formed, but iQIYI denied the allegations in May 2021.
