The song Su Nghiep Chuong by rapper Phao, which took social media by storm and held the number one spot on YouTube Vietnam's trending list for nearly 8 days, suddenly dropped out of the trending list on the morning of March 30. Instead, Bac Bling by Hoa Minzy took this spot, followed by Dancing in the dark by Soobin Hoang Son.

According to many sources, the main reason why "Ngư nghiệp Trừng" disappeared from the trending group could be because YouTube turned on the age restriction mode (under 14 years old cannot watch) for the MV. This reduced the video's reach and affected its ability to appear in the trending list.

Talking to Tri Thuc - Znews , Mr. Nguyen Lac Huy, manager of MCN Schannel, said that the age restriction of the MV caused the number of new views to suddenly decrease. This led to the song not having enough index to enter the Trending group on the platform.

Before uploading a video to YouTube, account owners have the option to make it public or age-restricted. When a video is suddenly put into restricted mode, it means that after a re-scan, YouTube has detected content that is inappropriate for children.

Additionally, the platform may also put videos in this mode when there are many reports from users about inappropriate content. On the other hand, it is possible that Phao's team may have proactively limited the reach to comply with the platform's policies.

In 2024, the music video for “How Sweet” by the band New Jeans was also unexpectedly put into this mode, causing the song’s international performance to drop significantly. After complaining, fans received feedback that this was set by the creator (HYBE) himself, not approved by YouTube.

Since its release, "Ngư nghiệp Trừng" has become the center of discussion on social networks, not only because of its catchy melody but also because of the lyrics that are said to have hidden "mocking" a famous figure in the streamer world.

The song marks the return of Phao after successful products such as 2 minutes more or Het nuoc dip , receiving praise from many musicians and singers for its unique musical style and characteristic rap quality.

Although it is no longer on the trending list, "Ngư nghiệp Trừng" continues to be mentioned, proving the great influence of the song. After 8 days, the song reached 21 million views. YouTube's age restriction may have caused the MV to lose views, but it also unintentionally created the opposite effect when many people were curious to search for and discuss it.
