Last week, the all-round rookie program continued to prove its strong appeal when it surpassed 1.1 million discussions, maintaining its Top 1 position on YouNet Medias SocialTrend Ranking Shows ranking. This is the second consecutive week the program has been leading.
Notably, the performance Take a Shot also entered the top 3 of Social Music, showing that the music quality of the program is in par with the media effect. In episode 5 broadcast on the evening of November 1, the audience saw another image of 11 contestants when they were "free" after the tense round of Performance 2. The fun, realistic atmosphere and team spirit helped the broadcast bring positive energy and many warm moments.
At the end of the episode, the program made the audience "restless" when revealing the two international opponents that Top 11 Vietnam will face in Performance 3 - ARrC (Korea) and FEniX (Taiwan, China), two young music groups that are creating a strong impression in Asia.
ARrC launched in August 2024 under the leadership of MySTIC STORY, consisting of 7 multinational members. After just over a year of activities, the group quickly reached global popularity with the album HOPE and the song awesome achieving high success on iTunes in many countries, including Vietnam. The group also received the 2025 Male Idol (Rising Star) award at Vietnams Brand Awards and attended KCON Japan 2025.
FEniX, representing the new generation of Mandopop, consists of 5 members coming out of the show Atom Boyz. Under Warner Music, the group owns two popular albums Hertz (2024) and Timeless You (2025), along with many MVs that have reached more than 1 million views. FEniX won the Most Favorite Boy Group Award at the Hito Music Awards 2024 and will continue to be nominated in 2025.
The appearance of ARrC and FEniX turned Performance 3 into a real "international music stage". With the Vietnamese squad having to restructure due to the lack of three key members, this will be the most fierce challenge since the beginning of the program.
