Concert 'Chong Gai' 5 in the North, will 'Say hi' be held on Friday night?

With the history of "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" holding concerts in various places, "Anh trai say hi" will also announce more performances there. Will June 2025 repeat the same scenario?

Anh trai say hi and Anh trai vu ngan chong gai are considered the two most popular music shows of the past year. Anh trai vu ngan chong gai is a stage for male artists who have been active for many years in many different fields,... while Anh trai say hi is for young male artists, even those participating in reality TV for the first time.

Thanks to the good effect, concerts of these two programs were continuously held, attracting tens of thousands of spectators.

At the end of March, two concerts Anh trai say hi (March 21) and Anh trai vu ngan chong gai (March 22-23) continued to take place in Ho Chi Minh City. Reports from many media measurement units showed that Anh trai vu ngan chong gai was superior in all aspects, from the number of discussions, interactions to the coverage on social platforms.

According to data from SocialTrend, "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles" topped the charts with nearly 500,000 discussions between March 18-24 on social media. Meanwhile, "Brother Says Hi" ranked third with 224,000 discussions.

In this "concert race", the overwhelming victory still belongs to Anh trai tran ngan cong thorn.

Brother say hi is "attachment"?

Since its announcement, Anh trai say hi has caused controversy and been labeled a "copycat". Accordingly, Anh trai vu ngan cong gai is a program that was copyrighted from the show Call Me By Fire (China). This is a program for male artists aged 30 and over, working in many different fields and professions with a passion for singing. The "talents" named in the final night will form a music group.

Regarding "Brother Says Hi," the producers introduced it as "a program with a completely new format, appearing for the first time in Vietnam." However, when it aired, the program raised doubts among viewers about the rules and format, especially the song auction segment which was considered "similar" to " Brother Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles."

And the fact that they produced a music show format for the guys that had many similarities to "Brothers Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles ," and released it at the same time, is the reason why the show was mocked as a "copycat."

The two programs are constantly compared.

The competition between the two shows became more intense as they continuously held concert nights.

On the evening of October 19, 2024, two concerts of Anh trai vu ngan cong gai and Anh trai say hi took place on the same day with the participation of 61 male artists, causing a stir on social networks. At that time, the concert Anh trai vu ngan cong gai had about 20,000 spectators in attendance. Meanwhile, Anh trai say hi was also covered in a "sea of ​​people" with an estimated audience of about 15,000 people even though this was the second night of the show. Both concerts took place in Ho Chi Minh City.

Following that, both "Brother Says Hi" and "Brother Overcomes Thousands of Obstacles " launched their "Northern Expedition" concerts. Both shows were successful, attracting large audiences. During the concert, both sides announced they would be holding another concert in March 2025 in Ho Chi Minh City.

The constant similarities between the two programs inevitably led to comparisons. This also caused heated debates among fans of both shows on social media.

After two "top-notch" shows at the end of March in Ho Chi Minh City, the producer of Anh trai vu ngan cong gai continued to excite fans by announcing the 5th show - this time it will take place in the North in June 2025 and continue to be held at Ocean Park 3 Urban Area, Hung Yen .

Meanwhile, the representative of the organizing committee of Anh trai say hi announced that concert night 5 will be the last concert of this journey in the first season.

However, the fact that the older brother overcame countless obstacles to bring the concert to the North once again has led many viewers to question: Will "Say Hi" easily accept stopping like that?

The value left after each concert

Competition is fierce but what the audience needs is the value left after each program.

Over four nights of concerts, the " Brother" group overcame countless obstacles, breaking the stereotype that attending concerts isn't just for young people. While not choosing young faces, the participating artists created a strong appeal for audiences of all ages.

In particular, the promotion of traditional cultural values ​​is also a factor that Anh trai tran ngan truc thorn creates sympathy with the audience. Throughout the 4 concert nights, the performances incorporating traditional culture and transforming folk materials of the program always have a great influence, bringing a different musical experience.

Traditional values ​​are highlighted in each concert night "Brother overcomes thousands of obstacles".

Through the hands of music director SlimV, stage director Dinh Ha Uyen Thu, the efforts and creativity of 33 talented people, the musical space of Anh trai tran van thom thorns creates an opportunity for the Gen Z generation to admire the beauty of the flow of music through each period and the cultural beauty that needs to be spread and last forever over time and generations.

In addition, the event marked the setting of a world record for the largest number of people wearing traditional Vietnamese attire at a music event during concert night 3. Images of thousands of audience members in traditional ao dai dresses spread widely, creating a significant media impact on social media platforms.

The image of the audience wearing traditional costumes going to the concert was touching.

Meanwhile, Anh trai say hi creates new songs to meet the music needs of the market, especially young audiences.

However, in addition to satisfying the tastes, the program also caused a lot of controversy. Notably, at the concert 3 Anh trai say hi , the melody of the song Pickleball, the latest music product of Do Phu Qui, was played. Recently, this song has received a lot of criticism because of its meaningless lyrics. Many people even called it with phrases like "garbage" or "musical disaster".

Putting aside the music, the quality of Anh trai say hi 's concerts has also been discussed many times.

At the concert night 3 on December 7, an incident where an audience member fainted but the organizers did not handle it immediately made many people angry.

Specifically, during the minigame, a female audience member held the mic and asked the Organizing Committee to pause the show to handle the incident of a fainting audience member.

"I apologize for interrupting the program, but someone has fainted here, and the area is very chaotic. I hope the organizers will handle the situation before continuing the program," the female audience member said.

On stage, the MC thanked the female audience and said that the Organizing Committee would handle it immediately. Then, the MC continued to introduce the next content.

Concert "Anh trai say hi" had many mistakes in organization.

Also during the third concert in Hanoi, the organizers arranged a fireworks display for the opening performance by the group. However, a piece of gunpowder fell into the audience near the stage. This fireworks incident affected many audience members.

In addition, social media debates have highlighted concerns about the benefits and negative experiences that audiences received, deeming the tickets priced at 10 million and 20 million VND not commensurate with the money they spent.

Tran Thanh's confident declaration that "this is the concert with the most attendees" or MC Duc Bao's announcement that 50,000 people attended also sparked mixed opinions.

Furthermore, the program also sparked controversy in its organization, particularly regarding the protection of audience rights. Previously, in Ho Chi Minh City, many audience members were upset when the organizers failed to ensure the rights of those who had won tickets for fansign events and photo opportunities with artists.

Not only the concert, the film project "Anh trai say hi: The villain creates the hero" has also caused a stir recently. Many fans were disappointed because their idol only appeared for a few seconds or the film stopped abruptly, there was no after-credits, and the film ended abruptly, leaving the audience bewildered.

Or the information included in the documentary such as: "The Anh trai say hi concert series marked a historic milestone in the field of organizing music events with global influence", "The program conquered the audience with unimaginable collisions with the senses of 100 million compatriots", "We move forward with our logic"... stirred up public opinion, causing controversy about semantics.

Tran Thanh has faced controversy many times with his statements in the concert "Anh trai say hi".

Both "Brother Says Hi" and "Brother Overcomes a Thousand Obstacles" have breathed new life into Vietnamese music in particular, and the industrial culture in general. However, in this competition, the result seems to favor "Brother Overcomes a Thousand Obstacles".

However, it cannot be denied that the attraction of Anh trai say hi is still very large when all 5 concert nights always filled the stage, showing the stable potential of the program brand and the artist lineup. This is also a positive signal affirming the increasing interest of Vietnamese audiences in domestic music nights.
