Causing a fever in an unexpected way
Thom - a member of the Da LAB band - is one of the most surprising factors when the program "Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai" 2026 kicked off.
Previously, in the period of announcing the list of "talents" of this season, Thom was not a name that received too much attention. Especially when this year's program had many "talents" with many fans from last season returning, along with artists who are actively operating in the music - entertainment market such as Hoang Dung, Trinh Thang Binh, Huynh Lap...
But just after the first episode aired, Thom caused a fever on social media platforms in an unexpected way.
Thom unexpectedly becomes a phenomenon of "Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai" 2026 thanks to... appearance and masculinity.
Images of the male singer appearing with a handsome, angular face, neatly trimmed short hairstyle and youthful, trendy curls quickly spread strongly.
With a bright stage smile in the opening performance, Thom was called "prince", "male god" or "visual face" of the program by fans.
The reason Thom's image creates a strong effect is because those who have followed the male singer before know that when he was still active in the Da LAB group, Thom often appeared with a more edgy and somewhat sloppy appearance. He has curly hair, or long hair neatly bunned and does not pay too much attention to costumes, completely different from a "talent" Thom who is compared to a "Korean male god" of the present.
In just 1 week, Thom's social media account attracted about 30,000 new followers. He also continuously entered the top 3 in the list of "talented brothers" most discussed on social networks, according to Socialite.
However, Thom is noticed not only because of his appearance change, but his talent is also an important factor.
Singing voice creates a special role
Right in the opening round, Thom impressed when he brought his self-composed song "Em toi doi muoi" on stage. This is one of the songs in the early stages of Thom's career, when he was still active in the underground scene and was known under the stage name JGKiD.
His slightly hoarse voice, rich in introspection and easy to recognize, helped Thom immediately score points with the audience who knew him for the first time.
Notably, through 3 consecutive performance rounds, Thom was assigned the role of opening the group's performance.
In the song "Entering Summer" in collaboration with Dung DT and Dinh Manh Ninh, Thom caused a storm on platforms with just the first 2 lines: "The sky gradually rises, my soul seems like a bird's shadow. Playing with soft wings, quietly seeking peaceful places".
At performance 1, Thom once again sang the opening song "Let me go" by Nha Hoa Lua (with the same team as Hoang Dung, Hoang Rob, Cheng, Vuong Anh Tu). As expected, Thom's unique voice and attractive face created a memorable moment.
In performance 2, team leader Hoang Ton of Nha Tham Hiem continued to trust Thom with the responsibility of opening the song "Nguoi ve noi dau".
Hoang Ton assessed that Thom possesses a "unique" voice, bringing a feeling of "experience, masculinity" so it is very suitable to create an opening impression.
Tho - a member of Da LAB group - also commented that Thom's special voice color will create a good effect when placed in important positions in songs.
In fact, in Da LAB, Thom often takes on the opening or chorus singing position. In the group's hits such as "Mot nha", "Thanh xuan", "Tu ngay em den", Thom's segment is always one of the most prominent segments.
After "The Brother Who Overcame Thousands of Thorns" 2026 aired, Thom's opening verse in the song "CILU (Cuz I Luv U)" released in 2020 by Da LAB is also causing a stir again.
