What's going on with the All-Rookie?

Although Anh trai vu ngan cong gai caused a fever and the two seasons of Chi dep dap gio also created a positive effect, Yeah1 still made a relatively surprising move, when it temporarily stopped everything to focus all resources on Tan ruong to ngu. This is a program to search for young talents with the goal of forming an idol group.

However, the above move has put the producers of the show into many challenges. The combination of the survival game show format - which emphasizes competition and drama - with the idol training model that requires long-term investment - has created many problems. After 5 episodes, Rookie of the Year is creating a wave of controversy about the content as well as the way of screening contestants.

The controversial exam

The All-Rookies began to gain more attention as they entered the screening tests, where names that did not meet the requirements of the producers and Korean mentors were forced to leave the show.

In the latest episode, the 4 groups including 28 names from the previous episode are still kept intact. The topics for the 4th test will be two songs Beautiful girl and Last Autumn . Notably, this time there will be 6 names that will have to leave. Besides the only winning team that will keep its original lineup, the members of the remaining groups are all likely to be eliminated.

After the competition, group 1, with many names as candidates for the debut lineup, showed their superiority. Huu Son - one of the best singers in All-round Rookie, had an impressive performance when he handled many difficult notes and fully performed the complex rap melody. Minh Quan, playing the role of dance leader, supported the group to complete the competition smoothly and evenly. Thanh Hien also attracted attention thanks to his ability to rap with a steady rhythm and confident demeanor.

The remaining three groups performed evenly. Group 4, although having a relatively strong lineup (no members in D-rank - the lowest rank of the show), did not make a significant difference in the screening round. Therefore, except for the three most prominent faces of the losing groups, all the remaining members fell into danger.

The elimination of Van Chung and Kim Bao caused controversy.

In the end, Nam Minh, Van Chung, Bao Chau, Kim Bao, Viet Hoang and Quang Thu were the six names that had to say goodbye to the All-round Rookie. This result quickly met with many mixed opinions. Even under the farewell posts of the contestants, many viewers expressed confusion about the decision of the jury. Among them, Van Chung and Kim Bao were two names that were considered worthy of continuing.

Although Van Chung made technical mistakes, especially in the choreography when he lacked decisiveness and stage control, he was one of the few contestants with stable singing ability. Meanwhile, Kim Bao performed well in the dance part, and his singing voice also improved a lot compared to the first episodes. Many viewers commented that the performance of both was better than some contestants who went on to the next round.

“Kim Bao had a really good performance and expression. Today, the rap was also okay. It's really confusing”, “Kim Bao danced and rapped well but was eliminated, probably because his fans weren't as many as the weaker contestants so he was eliminated”, “Van Chung has a top vocal, the easiest to listen to, I don't understand why he was eliminated”, “Van Chung doesn't deserve to be eliminated because the vocals of this year's contestants are so bad”, “Van Chung deserves to be given another chance, because his singing is top, his dancing is much better than the casting round”, are some of the audience's comments.

The Paradox of the All-Rookie

From the casting round to the recent tests, the criteria for selecting contestants of Rookie of the Year are relatively vague, confusing the audience. Many times, the evaluation of the advisory board is considered to be subjective when revolving around the so-called "idol qualities" - a factor that is not clearly defined.

The Rookie All-Stars panel includes Vietnamese and Korean judges.

A typical example is the case of Van Chung and Kim Bao. Van Chung has good singing ability and constantly improves his dancing, but is considered to lack idol qualities. On the contrary, Kim Bao is highly appreciated for his appearance and stage presence, but his singing voice is not really outstanding. Although each person has different strengths and weaknesses, both were eliminated without a clear explanation, leaving the audience unclear about the program's criteria.

In addition, the rules of Rookie of the Year also caused a lot of confusion because they were not announced in detail. In episode 5, the final results showed that each losing team eliminated exactly 2 members. However, the program did not clearly state the criteria for eliminating contestants - eliminating the 6 weakest individuals in all 4 groups, or simply eliminating 2 people from each losing group.

In fact, with Van Chung, although his performance was rated better than some contestants in other groups, his elimination could still be explained if the program applied the criteria: each group eliminated 2 members. Because Van Chung's group 4 gathered many names with good abilities. However, if viewed in the direction of screening the 6 weakest contestants in all 4 groups, the decision to eliminate Van Chung would hardly convince the audience.

The problem is that Rookie of the Year does not clearly announce the rules of the game, so the audience does not understand the evaluation criteria and how the judges make decisions.

Not to mention, combining two inherently different models - one side is a survival game show that focuses on drama, the other side is an idol training program that requires long-term investment - has created many problems and conflicts. While a game show needs to continuously eliminate contestants to maintain its attractive rhythm, for an idol training program, screening too early causes many potential faces to leave the game before they can show their potential or improve.

Still, the All-Pro Rookie is getting more attention.

In addition, audiences who love survival shows often expect drama, competition, and unexpected situations. However, the first episodes of Rookie of the Year focused heavily on skill training, making the show lack climax. As a result, the show's early stages did not attract much attention, with viewership continuously declining each week.

On the contrary, when entering the screening stage, Rookie of the Year increased the drama with consecutive elimination rounds, even creating tense competitive situations. This made many viewers who patiently watched from the beginning feel disappointed when the contestants they had accompanied were suddenly eliminated, not having the chance to show their full potential.
