Brother 'says hi' after concerns

Brother "Say Hi" season 2 has aired 3 episodes with some initial disadvantages such as the large number of rappers and new faces. Not to mention, the success of season 1 is such a big shadow that before the time season 2 aired, many viewers questioned whether the show could continue to be successful and create an unprecedented fever like it did in the summer of 2024.

Overcoming challenges

The huge success of Anh trai "say hi" season 1 is an important premise for season 2 to be noticed as soon as it airs, but it also creates a huge challenge. The pressure here is not only on the production team but also on the brothers themselves. Entering the competition, in addition to maintaining a high ranking to avoid being eliminated, the brothers are also required to have new hits to continue the impressive achievements that their colleagues have made in season 1.

Remember, in the summer of 2024, "Say Hi" created a phenomenon when all 14 episodes reached a million views. Many hits were born and were loved by the audience for a long time. Names like HIEUTHUHAI, Quang Hung MasterD, RHYDER, Duong Domic or Hung Huynh had an important launching pad to become prominent faces in the music market. This was followed by 8 successful concerts. This is unprecedented for a Vietnamese music program.

That success unintentionally became a burden for season 2, when the audience couldn't help but wonder: Can the show recreate that "unprecedented" appeal?

Season 2 has 30 brothers, but most of them are rappers or faces. Rappers are often commented as dusty, thorny, less interactive, and talkative. Meanwhile, new faces have difficulty attracting media attention. This is a limitation for any entertainment program. There was even a time when Anh trai "say hi" was called an extended Rap Viet.

However, after 3 episodes aired from September 20, all doubts seemed to disappear. Episode 1 opened with more than 2 million views after only 16 hours of airing, peaking at more than 350,000 live viewers - an impressive number proving that the initial attraction is still strong. This number is even higher than the first episode of season 1 (800,000 views after about half a day).

The following episodes maintained the momentum despite the somewhat lengthy and drawn-out content, with performances quickly rising to the top of the trending list, similar to the previous season. It is worth noting that despite the large proportion of rappers and new faces, the show still maintained a balance, turning diversity into an advantage.
