In the entertainment industry, few sibling pairs receive as much attention as Son Tung M-TP and MONO.
If Son Tung M-TP is one of the artists with a strong fan base, with a strong influence of current youth music, while MONO emerges as a Gen Z face full of potential.
Both pursuing music, but the two brothers have different career development directions and journeys.
Son Tung M-TP is one of the influential artists in V-pop today. The male singer continuously marks many records in terms of followers, MV views and performances on digital platforms.
However, what surprised many people was that after more than a decade of artistic activity, Son Tung M-TP has almost no "concept album" (album of music with unified messages and ideas). Son Tung only released a single compilation album in 2017 when he released the album "m-tp M-TP" including 18 songs that had been released before.
Notably, in 2019, Son Tung M-TP announced plans to release the album "We" - a project he had cherished for a long time. According to shares at that time, the album will include many different musical colors from R&B, Hip-hop to Ballad, along with 4-5 songs expected to create a big surprise for the audience.
However, after many announcements, this project has been continuously postponed and has not yet been officially launched.
The prolonged silence made fans curious, and at the same time sparked many speculations about the fate of the album considered the most ambitious in Son Tung's career.
Meanwhile, MONO shows persistence and seriousness in building his music career through album projects. Recently, the male singer officially revealed his second studio album including 15 songs, marking a new milestone after a long period of preparation.
According to MONO, this album is where he sends stories, emotions and personal experiences through music. Each song is a separate piece, from joy, longing to confidences that are difficult to express in words.
The male singer not only hopes that the audience will listen to the new product but also hopes that the songs can become companions in everyday life, touching the emotions and empathy of each person.
Released in 2022, the debut album "22" helped MONO make a mark, especially with the hit "Waiting for you" - a song currently reaching about 125 million listens on YouTube.
While Son Tung M-TP still lets fans wait for promises about the album "We", MONO is gradually building a personal mark with invested music products.
MONO seems to be choosing his own path, different from his brother, because the male singer himself once shared that he did not want to be known only as "Son Tung M-TP's younger brother".
When entering showbiz, MONO is also completely different from Son Tung. Audiences once commented that if Son Tung almost rarely publicizes any relationship with people in the industry, then MONO, on the contrary, is known for his sociability, "playing close to the whole showbiz".
