On the evening of April 10-11, the program "Đạp gió 2026" (or "Tỷ tỷ đạp gió rẽ sóng" season 7) of China entered the first performance round, broadcast live on MangoTV (Hunan TV), in the form of 33 "tỷ tỷ" (tentatively translated: beautiful sisters) competing for the first time in a team.
According to QQ, initially, the live stage of the program was advertised as "no editing, no voice adjustment, completely live singing", but in the end it turned into a large-scale "disaster" due to lip-syncing suspicion, incomprehensible competition format, eliminated contestants crying questions, suspicion of match-fixing...
Controversy over lip-syncing exploded right from the first night of competition. The performance of "Wing Chun" by Ham Thanh Tu - Truong Nghe Thuong - On Tranh Vanh's team was found to have many places where the lip shape did not match. Some viewers pointed out that when On Tranh Vanh turned his head, his mouth was closed but the singing still resounded.
The team of Tang Bai Tu - Hoang Xan Xan - Dam Dam with the performance "Half this half that" was also suspected of lip-syncing, even said to be "completely off mic".
Conversely, the audience thinks that the real live singing teams have suffered losses. The Ton Di team in the performance "The best things are all by your side" was recognized as singing live completely, high quality, but still had to eliminate member Trieu Tu Ky.
Many people angrily said that the total score the whole team's efforts to win had become meaningless in the face of the rules of the game. At the scene, a spectator shouted loudly "fraud", and the sound was even broadcast live.
The peak of controversy was in the second night, the performance "Great Artist" of Trang Phap - Giang Ngu Than - Duy Ni Na's team was commented by the audience as being completely live, staged grandly and performed impressively, but only achieved 824 points, 33 points behind Ly Tieu Nhiem's team.
Notably, the performance "Wish note" by Ly Tieu Nhiem - Duong Nghe Han - Vuong Mong was criticized as "like kindergarten arts, out of tune, forgetting words"; even many viewers assessed this as one of the worst stages of the "Swing the Wind" program seasons to date.
This result immediately caused outrage. On the evening of April 11, the keyword "heartbreaking for Trang Phap team" climbed to the top 1 trend of the Chinese social network Weibo.
A sarcastic comment: "The program in the future just needs to compete for fame," received great agreement.
Most Chinese netizens believe that in "Dap Gio 2026", popularity is becoming a dominant factor in real power, and at the same time question the program's arrangement of results, favoring faces with higher popularity.
After losing in the team round, Trang Phap continued to lose to Tieu Tuong in the captain competition round, leading to member Duy Ni Na being eliminated last because of the lowest number of votes.
When leaving, Duy Ni Na shed tears and questioned: "I don't understand what the scoring criteria are". This statement was in the livestream but was cut from the official broadcast.
Until the morning of April 12, the keyword "Billionaire stepping the wind and breaking the waves with a script" continued to comfortably be in the top 1 trend on Weibo, showing that the wave of criticism and opposition from Chinese audiences has not subsided.
