Worrying about Brother 'say hi' season 2

The teaser of the MV theme song Anh trai “say hi” was released on the evening of September 15, making the audience waiting for this show even more excited. Anh trai “say hi” officially aired on September 20 with many opportunities and challenges. This show promises to be the hottest music game show in Vpop at the end of the year.

Inheriting the existing heat from season 1, with the participation of many famous faces and airing at a time when there were no direct competitors like the way season 1 faced Anh trai tha ngan truc gai, Anh trai "say hi" season 2 has too many advantages to cover the market.

However, there are still challenges awaiting Brother “say hi”. How to overcome the huge shadow of season 1 or how to resolve the noise of Negav. All are problems for the program production team.

Opportunity

Like season 1, Anh trai “say hi” season 2 has 30 male artists of all ages, in which the youngest Do Nam Son was born in 2007 and the oldest Ngo Kien Huy was born in 1988. The music genres of these 30 brothers are even more diverse, promising to create a colorful artistic picture for Anh trai “say hi” season 2.

The highlight of season 2 lies in the interesting transformation of the rappers. Artists who used to stand out with their rugged, individualistic images such as BRay, Karik, Big Daddy, Hustlang Robber, Phuc Du... now have to be "softer" to suit the idol group style. This is probably something that many audiences, especially fans of the above rappers, never thought of or could not imagine, until Anh trai "say hi" aired.

Rappers like Karik and BRay arouse curiosity about how they will dance and perform in an entertainment show like Anh trai "say hi".

In fact, the appearance of underground rappers on an entertainment show has also caused controversy recently. Some people say that Anh trai “say hi” has molded rappers into entertainment idols. Revenue increased, ratings increased, but the quality of music disappeared.

In response to the above opinion, Phuc Du replied: “How do you measure the quality of music? If millions of people have tens of millions of minutes of entertainment, but it’s not about quality, I would also like to know what quality is.”

As Phuc Du shared, the changes of rappers first arouse curiosity in the audience, then lead to expectations of breakthrough performances, combining strong hip-hop and the charm of Kpop idols. For the show, rappers and audiences all benefit. Each side has what they want. Rappers can change themselves, renew themselves in a rare show, thereby expanding the audience, increasing the opportunity to make money.

And the audience will definitely have more hits, like the way they enjoy new songs every week in the summer of 2024. The characteristic of “Say Hi” Brother is 100% song composition. Therefore, the audience is the one who benefits the most.

Most of the artists in Anh trai “say hi” know how to compose and produce music. Many of them, such as BRay, Karik, BigDaddy, Vu Cat Tuong, Phuc Du… have composed their own hits. The artists also have a strong team with many experiences as coaches. Therefore, the artists coming to Anh trai “say hi” will most likely create new hits so that this program continues to be the most mentioned name, like season 1 in 2024.

Some other faces of the program such as CongB and Do Nam Son have been trained and competed in Korean music competitions, so they promise to bring a fresh, youthful breeze to the program.

Challenge

However, besides the excitement, the show is facing big challenges. First is maintaining the heat that has been available since season 1. This is not easy and indeed Em xinh “say hi” as the female version of Anh trai “say hi” could not do it.

Besides, the scandal related to rapper Negav - one of the most notable names in season 2 - is also making the audience curious about the production crew's actions related to this rapper.

Negav, whose real name is Dang Thanh An, born in 2001, was loved through season 1 and his music products. However, his recent statements and actions have turned many viewers away.

Since late 2024, Negav has been boycotted because of a series of sensitive posts from a few years ago that the rapper suddenly went viral on social media. After a few months of inactivity, Negav has gradually returned to work.

Negav returns to his "say hi" brother amid his controversy that still makes the public stir.

At the end of August 2025, Negav was embroiled in controversy when he appeared as a guest at an event for a women's brand. At the same time, social media spread an article by the PN Legal Law Firm. The company said it was authorized by Negav, warning against acts of distortion and slander. It is worth noting that the company's post was accompanied by a document from the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention (A05). A few hours later, on the official fanpage, A05 announced an invitation for individuals related to the post to work and verify the information.

On the evening of August 30, PN Legal said it had worked and explained to the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention (A05). PN Legal affirmed that it will closely coordinate with the authorities to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Negav in accordance with current laws.

Recently, Negav withdrew from a number of programs and shows, such as the final of Em xinh “say hi” or the concert of this program taking place on the evening of September 13 in Ho Chi Minh City.

These incidents have damaged the young rapper's image, leading to concerns about a negative impact on Anh trai "say hi" season 2. Many viewers question whether the organizers will continue to keep him in the show or cut down on his appearance to protect the show's image.

In the MV teaser theme song aired on the evening of September 15, Negav still appeared alongside 29 other brothers. According to images recorded by fans, Negav still appeared during the recent recording of the program. Therefore, it can be seen that this male rapper continues to participate in Anh trai “say hi”, just do not know the duration of his appearance.
