Episode 8 of "Tinh Ha Say Hi" closed with the farewell scene of Dillan, Song Luan, The Thien and Vuong Binh. After three Livestage, the four artists fell into the group with the lowest results and had to stop playing. This result made many viewers regret because each person had created their own mark in the program.
In the elimination room, Dillan could not hide his emotions when having to say goodbye to his teammates. The male singer said he appreciated the affection and kindness that the artists gave each other during the time they practiced, composed and performed together.
Before being eliminated, Dillan's journey in "Tinh Ha Say Hi" was not really smooth. In Livestage 1, he ranked 13th but his ranking dropped sharply after the next round. Through three Livestages, Dillan struggled in the team selection process and did not belong to the group of factors prioritized by the captains.
In Livestage 1, Dillan and Vuong Binh wanted to join the HURRYKNG team but were not chosen by the captain. In Livestage 2, no captain pressed the button when Dillan appeared. He had to step into the "promised land", waiting for his colleagues to be called up one by one and become the last person to find the team.
In Livestage 3, Dillan continued to belong to the group chosen last by the two coalition leaders Duong Domic and Quang Hung MasterD. The male singer did not hide his disappointment: "I am sad and insecure. I tried my best and thought I did well, but in the end no one chose me".
Dillan said that he has not helped the captains see a clear enough strength to be prioritized when building the squad. However, the male singer then reassured fans, saying he will continue to learn and prove his ability with performances.
This difficult journey is in contrast to Dillan's quite positive start at "Tinh Ha Say Hi". In Livestage 1, he and WEAN, Xuan Dinh KY and Kimlong performed "Lonely, I'm Also Happy".
The performance is set in an apartment complex, exploiting the loneliness of adults. Dillan transforms into a young man with a full material life but lacking connection with his family.
Vietnamese Ballad was once a big challenge for the male singer born in Vietnam but grew up in the US. However, Dillan performed the singing clearly, stably and emotionally.
After the performance, Tran Thanh encouraged: "You did very well. I think your singing part is very good, very emotional. Don't worry about anything.
The male MC believes that talented people do not necessarily always have to be the ones who give opinions. The good completion of tasks and responsibility to teammates is also commendable. Tran Thanh also ranked "Lonely, I'm also happy" in the group of performances that made him love and touch him at the competition round.
Before "Tinh Ha Say Hi", Dillan was known to the public when participating in "Anh Trai Say Hi 2025". He participated in performances that reached millions of views such as "Unnumbered Coincidents", "Unborn Lover" and "Da nghi".
In Livestage 3, Dillan took on the role of team leader for the first time. He and buitruonglinh, Lohan, Ryn Lee, Do Nam Son and guest singer Bao Thy performed "Make Up". This stage helped the male singer show his ability to build ideas and coordinate a performance lineup.
Dillan's real name is Phan Duc Nhat Hoang, born in 2000 in Hue and followed his family to the US from a young age. He spent about three years as a trainee in Korea, then participated in two international selection programs "Asia Super Young" and "Starlight Boys".
On April 16, 2026, Dillan released his debut solo product "VVIP", marking the stage of independent operation in Vietnam. He was also introduced to participate in the tourism and culinary program "Uncle Ngố khen ngon" season 2, scheduled to air in October.
Dillan's stop made the audience regret because he showed progress but did not have time to create another breakthrough performance.
