Leaving Say Hi Brother, a series of once prominent faces such as Negav and Hung Huynh got involved in scandals, seriously affecting their own image and that of the entire show.
Negav has been met with backlash since his return. In two concerts at My Dinh Stadium, Negav expressed his desire to continue his career, to stand on stage, and hoped for the audience's forgiveness.
However, what this male rapper showed on stage did not show the same eagerness to learn as the way he spoke. During the performance on December 9, Negav sang weakly, and the dance performances also showed that the male rapper had forgotten his song, performed in a messy manner, and could not keep up with his teammates.
Up to now, Negav is the “factor” that has had the most serious impact on Anh trai say hi. Negav was once loved for his innocent and pure image of “Ut Kho”. However, right after Anh trai say hi ended, the audience “dug up” a series of vulgar and sexually harassing statements made by Negav in the “wet tissue” group. The vulgar comments have completely destroyed the innocent image of “Ut Kho” that was built in Anh trai say hi.
Leaving Say Hi Brother, with the unprecedented appeal of a music reality show, the 30 "brothers" all have their own positions.
Over time, the audience is witnessing the adversities of fate and talent. If many "older brothers" dominate in terms of attraction and devalue their performance fees, on the contrary, rumors and gossip also "name" a series of faces.
The most overwhelming are HIEUTHUHAI, RHYDER, Isaac, Duong Domic, Quang Hung MasterD.... They are in high demand when they continuously appear in famous programs, their show fees increase rapidly every day. As a show producer told Lao Dong reporter, "Not everyone with money can invite HIEUTHUHAI at this time". To see, the overwhelming attraction of the singers coming out of Anh trai say hi.
On the other side of adversity, Do Phu Qui was heavily criticized for his product, which was considered a musical disaster, “Pickleball”. Hung Huynh is facing a wave of anger when his personal MV was accused of plagiarizing BTS Jungkook. Negav completely collapsed in terms of image...
Hung Huynh had to apologize and remove the MV from digital platforms. However, the audience still criticized, saying that Hung Huynh did not have enough goodwill in his apology, the apology was general, not enough to appease public opinion.
Before Hung Huynh, a series of “brothers” released personal products when their names gained popularity from reality TV, but most of these works were lackluster. Ali Hoang Duong’s MV was criticized for being offensive, with many unnecessary sexual scenes.
Even the music group MOPIUS, which gathers a cast of attractive "Anh trai say hi" such as HURRYKNG, JSOL, Quang Hung MasterD, Duong Domic, is not highly appreciated for its quality and expertise with its first product Lan thuy tien.
You see, the attraction from reality TV is like a double-edged sword, it can be a launching pad for artists' names, but it can also easily be "over-groomed", making artists easily fall into illusions.
As Truc Nhan said, "the real value of an artist must lie in his personal products, not in reality TV."
When participating in reality shows, artists are supported in every way to shine. They have a powerful team of the best musicians, composers, and arrangers. When on stage, artists are taken care of from A to Z, from costumes, makeup, choreography, direction, to a force of hundreds of supporting dancers...
Reality TV has “disguised” artists into the most beautiful and best version when they step onto the stage. When performing, the artists are also combined with each other, complementing each other to minimize weaknesses and maximize strengths. When performing in groups, everyone is able to show their strongest strengths.
Leaving reality TV is like leaving the most powerful team, the artist will be left alone, whoever has their own path, strategy, talent, long-term plan will nurture a strong reputation. On the contrary, whoever has weaknesses, whoever lacks talent, will soon be exposed.
