In the final round of "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Challenges", Soobin Hoang Son won the All-round Talent award and had the highest firepower score in the Elite House.
Soobin Hoang Son is considered multi-talented, has a large fan base, and good recognition. When participating in the show, the male singer was invited to perform at many events.
As a bright face of the show, Soobin is often compared with hot names of "Anh trai say hi", typically HIEUTHUHAI.
Recently, Soobin's fans have had an endless debate with HIEUTHUHAI's fans even though the two singers work separately.
The controversy arose from a music event that invited Soobin Hoang Son and HIEUTHUHAI. In a poster designed by the entertainment site, HIEUTHUHAI was placed in the center, with a larger image size than Soobin or Chi Pu, Hurrykng.
The announcement photo suddenly caused fans of the two singers to argue back and forth. Fans supporting Soobin said that Soobin is older than HIEUTHUHAI in both age and career, has good achievements, and is recognized by the audience for his talent, so he deserves to be in the middle.
HIEUTHUHAI fans, on the other hand, consider HIEUTHUHAI to be a famous name in the music industry today, with the ability to increase ticket sales and attract young audiences, and can be given priority for a central position.
It was not until the event's homepage posted a poster with Soobin standing in the middle with HIEUTHUHAI and Chi Pu on either side that the controversy subsided.
The audience compared the achievements, number of hits during and before the show, talent, personality... of HIEUTHUHAI and Soobin Hoang Son to find out who is more famous at the present time.
However, the lame comparison causes endless controversy because the two artists sing different genres of music, have different directions and starting points.
Coming out of 2 famous TV shows but with a fairly distinct audience, the "talented guys" and "older guys" are easily compared as being at a disadvantage.
Recently, an event inviting Ha Le and Quan A.P also attracted attention when placing Quan A.P's picture in the middle but partially covering Ha Le's shoulder. This small detail also caused fans of both sides to react.
Previously, the exchange between Thanh Trung and Quan A.P on a show also attracted the attention of the audience. Many people were curious about how the singers would face and behave with each other when the two shows were competitors.
With popular names like HIEUTHUHAI or Soobin, competition and comparison take place constantly.
In the final round 1 of "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai", the song "Superstar" composed by Soobin and Kay Tran also got HIEUTHUHAI into trouble.
Some viewers questioned whether Soobin Hoang Son "provoked" HIEUTHUHAI, from naming the song "Superstar" similar to "Sao hang A" (HIEUTHUHAI's team song in the final of Anh trai say hi) to using the phrase "baby boo" which is considered a familiar phrase of HIEUTHUHAI.
Babyboo is also the nickname of HIEUTHUHAI's rumored girlfriend, mentioned by the male rapper in some songs.
Although the rumor was connected by fans, this suspicion has still caused fans of the two artists to fight and argue for many days.
When Soobin and Binz received the X-Fire award with overwhelming votes, the audience continued to compare the two members of the SpaceSpeakers group with HIEUTHUHAI, Rhyder or the Gerdnang team.
"Anh trai vuon ngan cong gai" and "Anh trai say hi" aired at the same time, had many similarities in format, and held concerts on the same day, showing an unprecedented phenomenon in Vietnamese music, when the boy group model and reality TV took over digital platforms and spread widely.
