Anh trai "say hi", season 1

List of "brothers"

The list of 30 "brothers" ("anh trai" in Vietnamese) appearing in the first season of Anh trai "say hi" was announced on April 22, 2024, one day after the conclusion of the show's first filming session. These "brothers" are artists active in various artistic fields. According to the production unit's explanation, this is a purely Vietnamese program organized exclusively for 30 singers and rappers who possess fresh youth, a desire for breakthroughs, and a dream of bringing fame to local culture.

For consistency, the artist's stage name would be used with Vietnamese's tone marks.

Livestage 1

Before meeting with each others, all 30 brothers have to participated in the show's minigames (called the "Star DNA" test) to earn points, which then decided the order of choosing the songs. The six songs (with the number of members) that are presented for the first performance are: "Hút" (Draw) (7 members), "No far, no star" (6 members), "10/10" (4 members), "Nỗi đau ngây dại" (Silly pain) (3 members), "Sóng vỗ vỡ bờ" (Waves crashed the land) (5 members), and "Don't care" (5 members). Choosing a song will automatically assign them to one out of 2 armies, with army 1 consists of: "Hút" (Draw), "Don't care" and "Nỗi đau ngây dại" (Silly pain); while army 2 consits of "No far, no star", "10/10" and "Sóng vỗ vỡ bờ" (Wave crashed the land). Each army consisted of 15 members, with one person designated as the captain of that alliance (chosen by that army's members).

Out of the six songs: "Hút" (Draw) and "Sóng vỗ vỡ bờ" (Wave crashed the land) are the songs have to be performed on a custom set. Furthermore, "Sóng vỗ vỡ bờ" is the only song without a choreography demo.

The process of choosing the songs is as follow:

One by one, each person entered the selection room and chose one of the six songs. After a successful selection, they moved to the group corresponding to that song.

The six people with the highest scores had the right to choose their song first, along with the right to invalidate the first choice of any other brother.

If a brother chose an invalid song (the song already had the required number of members or was blocked by the choice of one of the six highest-scoring brothers), that person had to choose again until the request was accepted. In the event that a brother was blocked by more than one of the top six scorers, that person could only choose a song after all corresponding blocks were exhausted.

When only one song remained available, those who had not yet had their turn to choose automatically became members of that group.

After all of the brothers have finished the song choosing process, the guest (Nanon Korapat) will choose a song that he prefers. The brothers that also chose the same song as Nanon would receive an extra 50 individual points, in the scenario that their performance is in the top 3 most voted performances of the night.

Livestage 2

Before entering the second performance round, a team selection round was held. The 30 "brothers" were divided into four teams, with two 8-members teams and two 7-members teams. Four brothers with the highest total individual scores after Live Stage 1 (Negav, Song Luân, Isaac, and HIEUTHUHAI) became the four captains for this round. The remaining brothers were placed into two areas: "Sỏi Đá" (Rocky - consisting of 11 brothers ranked 20–30) and "Màu Mỡ" (Fertile - consisting of 15 brothers ranked 5–19). Each captain then, through the process of randomization, know how many members will be in their team. Song Luân and Isaac's teams will be 8-members, while HIEUTHUHAI and Negav's teams will be 7-members. The four captains then went through each area in turn to recruit members.

In the "Rocky" area, each captain had to send an invitation to any two brothers; each captain's departure time was 60 seconds apart based on their individual score ranking. Brothers who accepted an invitation from a captain became members of that team, while those who declined or did not receive an invitation automatically moved to the "Đảo Hoang" (Deserted island) area to wait for captains who still needed members to form a team.

In the "Fertile" area, the brothers wrote down the name of the captain they wished to join, and the captains decided whom they wanted to recruit. A brother joined the team if the captain accepted his wish; otherwise, he also had to move to the "Đảo Hoang" area.

In the "Deserted island" area, the four captains conducted a random draw to select the remaining brothers for their teams.

After completing the team division, the brothers returned to the common house where guest butler Lê Dương Bảo Lâm was waiting. Under the butler's guidance, they participated in missions to earn bonus points at the common house, including the "Protect the Captain" game at the pool (adding 100 bonus points and priority song selection for the winning team) and drawing lots in each room (adding/subtracting 20 points or no points; some lots came with a task to perform to earn 20 bonus points).

The next day, the brothers were taken to a gallery featuring eight new songs for the second round; each song had different requirements for staging and expertise. Here, the teams selected songs through an auction, where team members had to contribute at least 70% of the team's total individual points to form an auction fund. The remaining points were converted and added to the team score at Live Stage 2 (the individual scores of all brothers from Live Stage 1 were announced at this time, along with bonus/penalty points from the common house missions).

Livestage 3

In the third performance round, the 24 remaining brothers were divided into six teams of four members each. HIEUTHUHAI, captain of the safe team from Livestage 2, continued his role as a captain for this round. The remaining five captains were determined: three were the brothers with the highest individual scores from Live Stage 2 (Rhyder, Isaac, Quân A.P), and two were chosen through a random draw (Anh Tú, Dương Domic). The team selection process proceeded as follows:

First Round ("Perfect Match"): 18 non-leader brothers were divided equally into three groups—Gorgeous, Sparkling, and Shimmering—based on their rankings. Each captain chose one person from each group (totaling three people), and the contestants in the three groups also chose the captain they wanted to join. If the choices of the captain and the member matched, the member was assigned to that captain's team; otherwise, they had to go to the Desert island area.

Second Round ("To Choose or Not to Choose"): Each person in the Desert island area was called into the waiting room, and the captains raised their boards to either choose or not choose that person for their team. If only one captain agreed to choose, the contestant joined that team; if two or more captains chose them, the contestant made the final decision. Those not chosen by any captain or who rejected all choices had to wait for captains with incomplete teams to pick them last, with higher-scoring captains getting priority.

After being introduced to six demo songs for the performance round, the contestants were organized into four different intellectual games, each consisting of six representatives from the six teams. Each team wagered a number of points to challenge each game out of an initial 1000 points provided; the winning team kept their wagered points (and could gain points from the opponent), while the losing team lost their challenged points. The total points collected after the four games determined the order in which teams chose their songs and guests (each guest were tied to a specific song).

The lineup for Livestage 3 is (captain's name are highlighted in bold):

Ngáo ngơ (Mindless): HIEUTHUHAI, Anh Tú Atus, JSOL, Erik (guest: Orange)

Livestage 4

This is the semifinal round of Anh Trai "Say Hi". In this performance round, 20 contestants were divided into four teams of five, with captains determined through self-nomination and voting. In addition to the four contestants at the top of the Live Stage 3 rankings automatically becoming captain candidates, three other candidates were chosen through self-nomination and random drawing, and one candidate was selected through individual nominations from the contestants. After voting (each candidate had four "Select" votes, while others had four "Select" and four "Blank" votes), the four people receiving the most "Select" votes became the four captains: Rhyder, Erik, HURRYKNG, and Anh Tú Atus.

The remaining contestants then entered a staging camp one by one and went to one of four tents, corresponding to a captain's room, to persuade the captain to pick them for the team. If the captain agreed, the member joined the team; otherwise, they had to go to the tent for the Desert island area (note that captains had to accept the first person who entered their room into their team). The four lowest-ranked contestants from the previous round (excluding those already chosen as captains for this round) were given priority to choose first; from the fifth person onwards, members drew lots for each other to determine the selection order, starting with the MC. Captains who did not have enough members would select additional members from the Desert Island to complete their lineup, and members on the Desert Island at this point had no right to refuse the captain's choice.

Next, the teams participated in four physical games to accumulate points and earn the order for choosing songs. There were a total of eight songs in this round, and each team had to perform two songs: one developed from a demo track and one written from a type beat (only background music provided, teams had to compose lyrics based on the provided music).

The lineup for Livestage 4 is (captain's name are highlighted in bold):

Rhyder, Ali Hoàng Dương, Quang Hùng MasterD, WEAN, Captain (songs: Chân thành (Sincerely) & SOS)

Erik, Đức Phúc, Quân A.P, JSOL, Hùng Huỳnh (songs: Anh trai nước Việt (Brothers of Vietnam) & Sau đêm nay (After tonight))

Livestage 5 – Grand Finale

The team selection for the finale took place in a simulated corporate office setting. Here, the four captains (the four highest scorers from Live Stage 4) and the remaining contestants were separated into two different rooms; they could only communicate via telephone and individual rankings without knowing the identity of the caller or each other's specific ranks. Captains formed teams of four for this round and had to select members through an "emergency call" format, with a total of three calling rounds.

In the first round, each captain called a member of their choice based on ranking, in an order determined by drawing lots. If the member agreed, they moved to the successful team formation area; otherwise, they moved to the "Desert Island" area.

In the second round, the four lowest-ranked members called a captain of their choice. If the captain agreed, the member moved to the successful team formation area; otherwise, they had to go to the Desert Island.

In the third round, based on the provided ranking list of the remaining brothers, the four captains called the members they desired for their team (members could not refuse the captain's invitation). Teams that were still short on members were supplemented with contestants from the Desert Island.

The newly formed teams participated in three games to determine the song selection order, similar to the previous round. Each contestant in the finale had to perform two acts: a solo performance and a group performance (a song developed from a type beat chosen by the team).

The lineup for the final round is (captain's highlighted in bold):

Tình đầu quá chén (Overdosed first love): Quang Hùng MasterD, Erik, Negav, Pháp Kiều

Anh em gọi là có mặt ngay (Always there for my brothers): Đức Phúc, Anh Tú, Quân A.P, Captain

Ngạo nghễ (Arrogant): Anh Tú Atus, Isaac, HURRYKNG, Rhyder
