What can we expect from Trinh Thang Binh?

TPO - After the opening episode of "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles 2026," Trinh Thang Binh received the most attention when "Nguoi Ay" and "Vo Tan" entered the YouTube Music Trending list in Vietnam. This comeback also brings to mind the nearly 20-year career of the singer-songwriter with a series of hit songs that once marked a significant era in Vpop.

That Person and Broken Heart reached the top.

After the first episode of "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles 2026" aired, Trinh Thang Binh was one of the most ശ്രദ്ധed faces. In his solo performance, Trinh Thang Binh brought back " Nguoi Ay" (That Person) - a song that has been associated with his name for many years - to the stage.

The male singer chose a new arrangement with orchestration, which has a classic yet modern feel. The arrangement is restrained, focusing on highlighting his vocals and emotions, in line with the image he wants to project for the show.

While most of the 34 artists in the group chose elaborate choreography and staging to impress, Trinh Thang Binh took the opposite approach. The male singer focused on his live singing ability and concentrated on emotion. This helped his performance receive much positive feedback after airing.

While "That Person" showcased the singer's maturity after nearly two decades in the industry, the group performance "Broken " clearly demonstrated Trinh Thang Binh's role as a music producer.

Trịnh Thăng Bình attracted attention when he performed his hit songs "Vỡ tan" and "Người ấy" in episode 1 of the show "Anh trai".

Together with Thỏ (DaLAB) and Hà An Huy, he formed the Dreamy Genius team and performed "Broken" in a ballad-rock style. Besides performing, Trịnh Thăng Bình directly participated in the overall production. With his producer experience, he handled the lyrical division, song structure arrangement, worked with each member to highlight their individual strengths, and shaped the musical style throughout the performance.

This is also one of the rare occasions where audiences see Trinh Thang Binh explore pop/rock elements on stage. The new arrangement gives the familiar song more energy while still retaining the emotional depth that is the song's strength.

Even though "That Person" and "Broken Heart " were released about a decade ago, when the first notes rang out, thousands of audience members still sang along in unison for almost the entirety of the songs. The prolonged fanchants during both performances became one of the most shared images after the episode aired.

This effect continues to extend to digital platforms. The performance by the Dreamy Genius team became the first act from "Brothers Overcoming Thousands of Obstacles" to enter the YouTube Music Trending Vietnam chart, currently holding the #18 position. The video for "Broken" also quickly appeared on the chart at #28.

The fact that both videos simultaneously trended shows the appeal of the performance, stemming from the two hit songs. This is also good news for Trinh Thang Binh, as he brings back familiar compositions after many years.

Alongside his success on YouTube, Trinh Thang Binh received much positive feedback. Many praised his emotional delivery and his role in building the overall musical structure for the team. The singer's youthful image and modern fashion style also became a topic of discussion among viewers after the first episode.

After the show, Trinh Thang Binh shared his feelings: "Once again, the audience is bringing back those beautiful days with 'Nguoi Ay' and 'Vo Tan' . It's not just the audience reliving their youth; I myself feel like I'm returning to my own youth."

Hitmaker was a famous hitmaker back in the day.

Before his impressive comeback on the show "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles," Trinh Thang Binh was a name associated with the 80s and 90s generations in the 2010s. Besides being a singer, Trinh Thang Binh was recognized as one of the quintessential singer-songwriters – artists who both compose, produce, and perform their own songs.

The male singer was formerly a member of the boy band La Thăng, one of the most notable male groups in the mid-2000s. After leaving the group to pursue a solo career, Trịnh Thăng Bình spent many years struggling to find his place. He released numerous products, but none made a significant impact on the market, amidst the fierce competition among young singers in the Vpop scene at the time.

The turning point came when Trinh Thang Binh focused on his songwriting strengths. Instead of chasing trends, he chose pop ballads with catchy melodies and relatable lyrics, exploring stories of love, breakups, and coming-of-age—themes that easily resonate with a wide audience.

Viewers have high expectations for Trinh Thang Binh after episode 1 of the show "Brother".

Since the early 2010s, a series of songs such as "Nguoi Ay" ( That Person), "Da Biet Se Co Ngay Hom Qua" (I Knew There Would Be a Yesterday), "Vo Tan" (Broken), "Nguoi Em Tim Kiem" (The Person I'm Looking For), "Em Ngu Chua" (Have You Slept Yet?), "Tam Su Tuoi 30" (Confessions of a 30-Year-Old)... have successively made their mark on music charts. Some songs topped the charts for many weeks on online music streaming sites, while others became familiar choices on music stages, tea rooms, and television programs.

Many of Trinh Thang Binh's songs are still available on music streaming platforms after more than a decade, are chosen by many singers to perform, or are used by audiences in short videos on social media.

Trịnh Thăng Bình's return comes amidst significant changes in Vpop compared to its peak. While the period from 2010-2018 was dominated by ballads and singer-songwriters, recent years have seen the strong rise of rap, hip hop, young producers, and Gen Z artists. Audience tastes have become more diverse, the rate of genre change is faster, and the lifespan of a song has become shorter than before.

The fact that "That Person" or "Broken Heart" still resonates with audiences of young people is of great significance. What "Brother Overcoming Thousands of Obstacles 2026" brings to Trinh Thang Binh is not simply another stage to perform on; it's a way for the public to look back on the artist's 20-year journey in the industry, through many roles, from group member and solo singer to songwriter, producer, and the person behind many familiar Vpop songs.

After the first episode aired, it's too early to predict how far Trinh Thang Binh will go in the competition. All we know is that after more than a decade, Trinh Thang Binh's hit songs are still far from "outdated." As the singer himself shared, audiences sometimes forget artists amidst the ever-changing market. But songs that truly touch listeners' emotions will remain.
