Gameshows that exploit six-pack abs.

Of course, in a game show featuring all male artists, masculinity is key to attracting viewers. But there are different kinds of masculinity, some shallow, some deep.

If you pay attention to the program My brother overcame countless obstacles. (ATVNCG) will show that muscular artists who diligently maintain their physique often have outstanding singing voices and performances. Examples include Phan Dinh Tung, Quoc Thien, Trong Hieu, Kay Tran, and even MC Thanh Trung. It's not necessary to be muscular to sing well or powerfully, but a balanced and disciplined lifestyle is one of the secrets to lasting success in the singing profession.

Because famous singers often have to endure a tight work schedule, poor health makes it difficult to cope. The same applies to game shows; even though he sang along to pre-recorded tracks, some viewers still noticed shortcomings in Tang Phuc's performance. The reason was that he was sick. Tuan Hung stated that working over 12 hours a day is normal when participating in game shows: "There are days when filming ends at 4 am and then I'm back at 12 pm (noon)."

A singer's voice reflects their physical strength. Because of this connection, some talented singers show off their vocals while also conveniently showing off their abs, like Quoc Thien or Kay Tran… Of course, they do it subtly; Quoc Thien only lifted his shirt for a moment, while Kay wore a see-through shirt. In a competition where everyone is talented and famous, a six-pack physique is also used to create a difference.

The Say Hi (ATSH) brother went even further. In the broadcast on the evening of July 6th, the team of Hieuthuhai They performed suggestive dance moves with their belts, danced on poles in tank tops, then went behind a backlit curtain to perform poses showcasing the flexibility of their waists and backs. To conclude, the quartet simultaneously stripped shirtless behind the curtain, causing the audience to erupt in cheers. Of course, this striptease will be the first thing talked about, somewhat overshadowing the other performances.

Some guys show off their sexy physiques to attract attention.

Hieuthuhai's sexy image seems to outshine his talent. Whenever people see him, they only talk about his appearance. A highlight of ATSH episode 4 was the interaction between MC Tran Thanh and a Thai DJ. This audience member said he came to show his support. Ali Hoang Duong, but he changed his mind after seeing Hieuthuhai…

Both game shows share the same target audience (slightly different in age), are similar in format, but show significant differences in their production. ATVNCG maintains the elements of reality television, while ATSH strives for maximum drama.

For example, the scene where the Negav rapper team goes to the practice room is purely acting. The show also features a butler played by Le Duong Bao Lam, who openly displays his infatuation with men. In general, ATSH is a blend of a music game show and rambling "comedy skits."

The competitive aspect in ATSH is also much more pronounced (partly because six people will be eliminated later) compared to the other programs. Team captain Hieuthuhai would openly show his dislike for someone during the selection process. Usually, the captain would call for votes for the whole group, but Captain Negav used all the time to campaign for himself.

Is masculinity and strength demonstrated through a competitive, win-or-lose attitude, or through mutual support while still giving it your all? That's the choice of each program. Recently, Noo Phuoc Thinh She shared that she was invited to participate in a game show with the requirement to be really "sharp-tongued" (roughly translated as having a fierce, aggressive way of speaking).

But he felt he wasn't "bold" enough, so he declined. It's clear that formats like ATSH require players to interact, socialize, and basically talk more than sing.

But both game shows demonstrate that masculinity is expressed through actions. For example, The beautiful woman braves the wind and waves. Women always spend a lot of time sitting down and talking. Meanwhile, men have to use indirect methods like giving gifts to each other to find a reason to express their feelings.

Last season's beauty pageant saw at least one strained relationship emerge between two contestants. Up until now, the game shows featuring talented guys have mainly focused on entertainment.
