After Call Me by Fire and Anh trai say hi ended, two boy groups B.O.F and Mopius debuted, gathering prominent members from the two shows.
Both groups have released their debut songs, officially joining the music industry. B.O.F and Mopius both announced that this is just a pre-release song, not an official debut.
Despite expectations, the achievements of both songs "Tet Dinh Noc" (B.O.F) and "Lan Thuong Tien" (Mopius) were not really outstanding.
"Tet Dinh Noc" is a surprise for B.O.F because before that, the group defined a strong, unconventional style with a fantasy feel, but the song released was about the Tet theme.
Songs about Tet are Bui Cong Nam's forte, and it's right at the time when the whole country is about to celebrate the Lunar New Year. After more than 2 days of release, the MV ranked 27th on YouTube Trending in the music category. This is a modest number for a lineup with many famous faces like B.O.F.
In terms of expertise, the Tet theme combined with the band model is a rather new dish for Vietnamese people. The vibrant pop rock music, meaningful lyrics, and carefully invested MV are still not enough to help B.O.F climb the rankings.
However, audiences believe that "Tet Dinh Noc" could rank higher as the Lunar New Year approaches - the time when demand for listening to Tet music increases.
As for Mopius, the group debuted with the song "Lan Thuong Tien", in a young and beautiful lineup, each member has a large fan base.
Although the members are good at hip hop, EDM, and pop music, "Lan Thuong Tien" has a fun, bright concept with easy-to-listen melodies.
After more than 1 month, "Priority Lane" is still at number 17 on YouTube Trending in the music category, having been in the top 5 when it was first released.
With positive initial achievements, the audience can fully expect Mopius to make a breakthrough when releasing their official debut song.
Mopius has 4 members, including Quang Hung MasterD in the top 5 and Anh trai say hi's group Best5. Meanwhile, B.O.F does not have the "trump card" from Call Me by Fire.
The audience asked, without top faces like HIEUTHUHAI and Soobin Hoang Son, the boy band will have difficulty going the long way.
When Mopius debuted, fans of HIEUTHUHAI and RHYDER had controversial opinions, because the champion and runner-up were not allowed to join the group.
HIEUTHUHAI alone released the song "Trinh" and it climbed to #1 on YouTube after 3 days. The group songs in Anh trai say hi with the male rapper all ranked very high on YouTube, including 3 songs reaching #1.
HIEUTHUHAI's influence and reputation are considered a "guarantee" for the success of a group song. However, the male rapper currently prioritizes his personal activities with the Gerdang team.
In B.O.F, Soobin Hoang Son's absence is also regrettable. In the final round of Call Me by Fire, Soobin won the title of All-round Brother (X-Fire) because he was one of the two people with the highest individual scores.
The male singer has also just released a Tet song in the famous series "Di de tro ve". After 1 week, the MV "Em oi, anh nho nha" reached 3rd place on YouTube Trending in the music category with 1.9 million views.
Both B.O.F and Mopius projects have not yet determined whether they will operate long-term. Because the success or failure of the band depends on many factors, especially in a market that favors solo singers like Vietnam.
