The second season of "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles" has just aired and is attracting much discussion among fans of music game shows. Recently, on the social media platform Threads, an account shared their thoughts on Thai VG's appearance in the program. This person commented that the rapper was too cold and aloof, as if he was "forced to participate."

"Can Thai VG please be less cold? Every time you're on screen, I feel scared," the account owner shared. The rapper later responded to this comment. He explained that his cold demeanor on air was due to not having had time to get to know everyone yet, and partly because of the pressure of not fully understanding the rules of the game.

"Actually, I needed some time to get used to everyone. Everything was very new to me. And we also had to film and learn the rules of the game at the same time, so sometimes it was a bit stressful to keep up," Thai VG expressed.

The male rapper added: "I hope everyone understands and gives me a little more time. I will try my best and hope to gradually feel more comfortable with each episode."
