Tran Thanh was once considered the "soul" of game shows, typically the show "Anh trai say hi". In the previous season, the charm, stage experience and flexible situation handling ability of the male MC were considered important factors contributing to the success of the brand.
However, in the final night of "Anh trai say hi" season 2, Tran Thanh's performance caused many mixed opinions.
Throughout the program, the male MC revealed many unstable moments when he continuously stumbles, mis misunderstands information, and lacks cohesion in quotations. Notably, Tran Thanh repeatedly misnamed the song and the artist.
In the performance Hermosa, he was mistaken for the captain, then when this performance was named in the category of The Best Group Performance, Tran Thanh continued to mistakenly lead to the song Nguoi nhu anh dang don. Repeat errors in an important program like the final make the audience think that the narration has not achieved the necessary meticulousness.
In addition, some jokes in the championship announcement were also commented to be inappropriate for the tense and solemn atmosphere of the final competition night.
Tran Thanh's spending more time exploiting guests instead of focusing on the brothers of season 2 also caused the program flow to be dispersed, reducing the central role of the contestants.
The focus of the debate continued to revolve around the "int" (suggestion) announcement of the runner-up. When Tran Thanh opened with the suggestion: "The runner-up is a brother... is a son", in the context that Vu Cat Tuong was still on the waiting list, many viewers thought that this way of leading accidentally created a sensitive and unreasonable situation. The debate quickly spread, with opposing opinions about the appropriateness of the language on television.
Besides the controversy, Tran Thanh also made many strange moves. At the moment Negav spoke after being crowned, Tran Thanh also revealed a somewhat tense, somewhat nervous expression.
The male MC stood still, closely watching the new champion's sharing, different from the familiar bustling demeanor. This image was quickly recorded by the audience and spread on social networks, becoming a detail that received attention in the final night.
Notably, after "Anh trai say hi" season 2 ended, Tran Thanh did not post any articles related to the show on personal social networking platforms. This creates more discussion, because in the previous season, the male MC wrote quite a lot about "Anh trai say hi".
Currently, Tran Thanh's Fanpage shares a lot about shows like Running Man Vietnam, Who is A.I? and focus on promoting his 2026 Tet film.
