Performance 4 Results Announcement: The results of Performance 4 were officially announced, wrapping up the battle rounds filled with meticulously invested performances in both music and stage visuals. Accordingly, the Quy Tu - Benh Bong Alliance excellently rose to the top of the leaderboard, officially preserving all their members and continuing their Thorny journey together. Ranking second was the Hop Luc - Ruc Ro Alliance, while the Nguyen To - My Man Alliance placed last.

When Cultural Values Meet the Contemporary Stage: In Round 2, the alliances brought characteristic folk music materials from various regions onto the stage, creating a crossover between traditional values and modern expression.

The Hop Luc - Ruc Ro Alliance chose the hat then - dan tinh (Then singing and Tinh lute) art form, bringing the cultural resonance of the Tay ethnic group into their performance. Meanwhile, the Nguyen To - My Man Alliance explored Northern folk melodies and Cheo art, while the Quy Tu - Benh Bong Alliance incorporated Southern folk materials, including Ly melodies and the Cai luong - Don ca tai tu art forms into their act.

The selection of different cultural materials not only created a distinct color for each alliance but also contributed to opening up multiple new approaches to traditional music on the contemporary stage. From familiar melodies, instruments, and vibes, the Anh Tai continuously found ways to innovate, blending them with modern music to create performances that fit the show's spirit.

Recognition for Relentless Efforts: The continuous efforts of the Anh Tai were recognized through crucial titles in Performance 4. OSAD excellently became the Anh Tai Dung Si after his performance of Dai Khai Hoan an act deemed highly challenging in both music and choreography. With this title, OSAD also held the power to protect one member in his alliance, making his role exceptionally vital.

Besides that, Jun Pham continued to be awarded the Chien tuong (Commander) title in Performance 4, acknowledging his talent, efforts, and endurance throughout the journey. Having been an Anh Tai in the previous season, Jun Pham maintained stable form in his return this year, continually demonstrating his versatility across various stage roles. Not only loved for his adaptability and wholehearted dedication to the show, Jun Pham also made his mark through his humility and the way he consistently cares for and shows genuine affection toward his accompanying brothers.

A Quiet Note of Farewell: Following the performances in Performance 4, the journey of Tung Mint and Toki Thanh Tho at Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai 2026 officially came to a close, leaving much regret for the brothers who had accompanied them along the way. Despite ending their journey on the show, Tung Mint and Toki Thanh Tho will continue to step onto new paths, carrying with them memorable experiences and affections from this Thorny journey.

Stages infused with cultural materials on Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai have always become a special "delicacy" of the program. After the culturally colorful series of acts from Performance 4 aired, the audience continuously left excited reactions, with some even "demanding" to bring the Performance directly to a concert stage.

Not only remembered by the audience for the spectacular performances, the acts also revealed a notable point: Vietnamese culture can absolutely become an inspiring source compelling enough for young audiences to proactively research, discuss, and spread on social media. This is also one of the show's distinctive hallmarks compared to other music programs, as bringing folk materials onto modern stages has ignited the audience's enthusiasm for Vietnamese culture.

Episode 11 of Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai 2026 continued to unfold with Round 2, featuring themed X-songs and the track Dai Khai Hoan in the special battle round. With massive investments in both music and choreography, the alliance members delivered explosive acts, creating visually spectacular and highly energetic performances for the audience.

The Hop Luc - Ruc Ro Alliance brings the festive colors and Tay folk music to the Performance 4 stage

Entering the second battle round of Performance 4 under the theme "Thach Sanh," the Hop Luc - Ruc Ro Alliance comprising Hoang Dung, Hoang Rob, Tho (Da LAB), Tung Mint, and Will brought the musical colors of the Northwest region with the Tay people's hat then melodies.

Sharing about this concept, Hoang Dung stated that upon receiving the Thach Sanh theme, he immediately thought of the two poetic lines about the lute's sound calling someone home: "Đàn kêu tích tịch tình tang - Ai đưa công chúa dưới hang trở về." Inspired by this, he and the members chose hat then and dan tinh as the cultural materials for the song, partly because Hoang Dung himself is a son of the Tay ethnic group. Receiving support and encouragement from the members, the group decided to honor the Tay people's lute and music, while creating a connection between traditional cultural materials and the image of modern people on stage, inspired by the Thach Sanh story.

Speaking about his luck this time as a child of the Tay people, Anh Tai Hoang Dung said: "It seems the universe arranged this for me. If I didn't speak up now or volunteer to do this X-song, I would feel very unsettled. I told everyone that I am Tay, and at that moment, I received immense support and trust from the brothers."

Hoang Dung believed this was the time for him to take responsibility for the X-song bearing the Tay folk resonance

Behind the performance deeply infused with the Tay cultural breath was an entire journey of facing challenges. Despite being ethnic Tay, Hoang Dung was born and raised in the city, so he once feared he was not profound enough to represent the cultural voice of his people. Only when the group hit a dead end in finding artistic materials did the male singer decide to speak up, bringing all his knowledge and love for his roots to solve this difficult puzzle with his teammates. Choosing to bring hat Then materials to a massive stage required not only methodical research and expert consultation but also a tremendous amount of courage.

It was also on this exact stage that the moment Hoang Dung and his mother stood together touched the hearts of millions of viewers. Born into a family working in education, his mother used to be a university lecturer and only began participating in hat Then activities after retiring. Hoang Dung believes that the artistic passion flowing in his blood was inherited from his mother. The two of them sharing the stage was not merely a performance, but a generational continuation and the biggest dream the male singer had always harbored.

The deeply cherished dream of standing on stage with his mother finally came true

The ultimate goal of Hoang Dung and his teammates when bringing ethnic music to Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai 2026 was to honor the uniqueness of Tay culture, so the audience could proudly recognize this as a part of their nation's identity. The trust from the Anh Tai, the resonance of family ties, and the moment sharing the stage with his mother transformed Hoang Dung's performance into a special milestone where family love and national pride became one.

During the preparation process for the performance, besides perfecting the musical and visual elements, the Hop Luc - Ruc Ro Alliance also faced challenges in sourcing and bringing culturally valuable props to the stage. Hoang Rob shared that the group had to persuade an artisan in a small village in Lang Son to be able to use a special prop in the act. He shared: "The two cat heads on the stage are sacred props of the Tay people; it takes up to 6 months to complete one. The group had to persistently persuade the artisan in Lang Son for 2-3 days before he agreed to let us bring them to Saigon for the performance."

Will shared that for this Performance, Hoang Dung faced a heavy workload and took charge of building the main framework first. If Hoang Dung felt overwhelmed and needed support, the rest of the members would step in. Will also mentioned that when Hoang Dung left certain sections of the song open and asked for help, he and Tho (Da LAB) directly contributed to completing those parts. The Anh Tai also noted that executing a performance deeply imbued with cultural materials is no easy feat, as artists do not always have the opportunity to stage and express their creativity on such a grand platform. Therefore, the group wanted to seize this opportunity to both unleash their creativity and contribute to promoting cultural values, embracing the spirit of incorporating the absolute best of what they could into the act.

Tung Mint stated that the unique aspect of the execution process was that each member took on specific tasks based on their strengths, yet all ideas and content were shared within the group for collective discussion and contribution. For the song Thach Sanh, inspired by the lyric "Đàn kêu tích tịch tình tang - Ai mang công chúa dưới hang trở về," Hoang Dung proposed centering the act around the image of the lute's sound and utilizing Tay cultural materials to create a festive atmosphere for the performance. Elaborating on the idea of incorporating a festival concept into the act, member Hoang Rob shared: "Hoang truly loves the saying, 'We can fully understand the identity of a people by looking at how they eat, how they love, and how they toast and celebrate something.' That is exactly why Hoang and the brothers wanted to bring a festive spirit to the stage this time, to portray the cultural identity of the Tay people, an ethnic group of Vietnam." Hoang Rob added that the members were incredibly proud that this performance received expert consultation from the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Lang Son Province.

The Nguyen To - My Man Alliance evokes the profound teachings of parents through the "Lac Long Quan - Au Co" theme

With the Lac Long Quan - Au Co theme, members Dong Hung, K.O, Duy Khanh, Toki Thanh Tho, OSAD, Cheng, Thuan Nguyen, and Ha An Huy of the Nguyen To - My Man Alliance brought the audience touching advice from parents through the performance Tieng ru coi nguon. The mother's advice is intertwined with gentleness and love, while the father's advice carries profound meanings of strength and unwavering willpower in life. The first half of the song features Northern lullaby melodies accompanied by the Northwest flute, guiding the audience through a mother's advice to her children who follow their father to the sea. The second half of the act combines hip-hop/trap to express the strong spirit in a father's teachings to the children who follow their mother to the mountains. Ultimately, it all converges into a final message penned by Cheng: "Whether you become a cloud draped across the hills, or waves crashing offshore, do not forget the lullaby of our roots, oh compatriots!"

Sharing more about the meaning behind the performance, Dong Hung expressed: "With the X-song theme being Lac Long Quan and Au Co, and aligning with the Performance 4 theme 'Heads touching the sky, feet firmly on the ground', we want to highlight the word đồng bào (compatriots). We are all compatriots, we were all born from the sac of a hundred eggs, we are all people born sharing the same bloodline. Therefore, no matter where we go or where we are, just by calling each other đồng bào, we will certainly find Vietnamese people there."

Cheng remarked that because this performance was deeply rooted in cultural materials, the execution process required extreme meticulousness. In terms of music, Cheng and OSAD were the two primary members in charge of the composing, producing, and recording stages alongside the other members. Anh Tai Cheng also shared that this was the most profoundly deep song he had ever worked on, especially when exploring folk elements. He noted that the composition process involved the close companionship of all members, as everyone collectively discussed, analyzed, and agreed upon the elements to be utilized based on the performance's theme.

Cheng shared that this is the most profound song he has ever written, while also granting him the opportunity to explore folk themes

OSAD also felt the challenge of this performance, sharing: "All the brothers working on this performance are under a lot of pressure. Honestly, writing youthful, playful, and carefree things is very easy because I've done that a lot before. But to write a song that expresses a cultural trait or a national spirit is truly a very rigorous process of filtering melodies and lyrics." He noted that the group spent a significant amount of time meticulously researching the music, the concept, and cultural elements such as how to deliver a lullaby or how to use the drums. According to him, this carefulness and strictness were necessary because the values showcased in the performance are the cultural achievements built and passed down by their ancestors. Therefore, the group wanted to carry on and appropriately promote those values.

During the preparation process, the members also had to overcome numerous "thorns," as Duy Khanh revealed that just one day before the performance, the musical arrangement was unexpectedly changed, forcing the brothers to exert extra effort to re-practice the drum section. Cheng humorously remarked: "It was a shock! A shock for the whole team! Because tomorrow was already the rehearsal. It's true that the newly changed drum beat was more authentic to the festive drums, but because the brothers were so used to the beat from the previous demo, it felt like we couldn't react in time."

Returning for this round, Ha An Huy took on a vocal segment developed from a Cheo melody. He shared that to successfully perform this section on stage, he had to seek assistance from his mother, Cheo artist Minh Phuong, for vocal technique guidance and to select the most suitable Cheo melody for the act. Thuan Nguyen also praised Toki Thanh Tho during rehearsals, noting his willingness to practice parts that weren't even his when other brothers were absent due to busy schedules.

Duy Khanh demonstrated remarkable maturity by stepping away from his familiar talkative image to affirm his deep artistic mindset through the Tieng ru coi nguon performance. Instead of a literal illustration of the Lac Long Quan - Au Co legend, he decoded the story using highly metaphorical stage language: transforming the "sac of a hundred eggs" into a fetal sac evoking the word đồng bào (compatriots), using soft fabrics dancing in the wind to symbolize the storms of challenges, and utilizing colors (ocean blue and mountain green) to demarcate the journeys up the mountains and down to the sea. The way Duy Khanh connected symbols ranging from sails, sowing seeds, and festive drums to the traditional ao dai not only modernized a familiar folk material but also elevated the story from an origin myth to a symbol of the great solidarity and generational continuation of the Vietnamese people today.

Concluding the performance, Cheng left a heartfelt message: "Cheng and all the brothers want audiences of all ages to be able to listen to this performance, and for it to touch their emotions. Everyone is a child, everyone has parents, and will eventually become parents themselves. Cheng believes that when people have families, they will also love their children, and will share and teach their children such beautiful things."

The Quy Tu - Benh Bong Alliance recreated the legend of Thanh Giong through a Southern perspective in the performance Tren dat minh

Sharing about the narrative of the Tren dat minh performance, Mew Amazing stated that the group realized the Thanh Giong legend is not merely a tale of a hero but also harbors multiple layers of meaning regarding solidarity, the nurturing of family and homeland, as well as patriotism and the determination to protect the Fatherland. From the perspective of adults, the group decided to structure the song with an initial section carrying a pure and intimate tone, akin to how a child perceives the Thanh Giong story, before gradually developing it into a more heroic and epic melody, reflecting how the mature generation looks back on this familiar tale.

However, before arriving at a unified concept for the performance, the Quy Tu - Benh Bong Alliance had to undergo multiple rounds of brainstorming and selection. Jun Pham shared that the group's initial idea did not merely focus on exploring the hero figure but also pivoted towards the story of the mother. Accordingly, the image of the heroic Vietnamese mother, characterized by her resilience, endurance, and the poignant moment of sending her child off to battle, evokes profound emotions. The group had hoped to convey this emotional depth in their act.

Nevertheless, after receiving consultation from the producers, the group decided to explore the figure of Thanh Giong from a different angle: an innocent boy like any other, yet harboring immense ideals and power within, which is vividly portrayed in the latter half of the performance through a majestic and powerful atmosphere.

Jun Pham shared about the initial ideation process, deciding to structure it around the character's development arc

Mew Amazing and Jun Pham selected Ly dat giong (a Southern folk melody) as the core material woven throughout the performance. However, after completing the lyrics based on a melody they were deeply satisfied with, the group realized that this spirit did not align with the expressive direction they desired, which called for a more heroic and powerful atmosphere. Consequently, Mew Amazing, Jun Pham, and the alliance members decided to start over from scratch to ensure absolute cohesion with the overall concept.

Following numerous adjustments, the alliance members finally agreed upon a highly satisfactory direction. Huynh Lap joyfully expressed: "Fortunately, the brothers found a common voice, because when looking at this theme, everyone had different, soaring ideas. Moreover, this is an alliance with many members, so there were countless opinions, and information could easily become chaotic. Therefore, the process of filtering and selecting was crucial. This song will offer a completely novel perspective on Thanh Giong compared to before; it encompasses youthfulness, heroism, mischievous playfulness, and also a profound sacredness when Thanh Giong charges into battle to save the country."

Mew Amazing revealed that despite the limited preparation time, the group made the bold decision to discard the initial demo to rewrite a completely new song that all members felt genuinely satisfied with. This inherently meant their rehearsal time was significantly shortened. Nevertheless, he considered what the members managed to achieve in that brief period to be truly a "miracle." BB Tran also shared that the physical rehearsal for the performance took place in less than a single day. Even though everything was executed in a massive rush, the members quickly caught the rhythm and seamlessly kept pace with the overall schedule.

While other alliances opted for materials like hat cheo or hat then, the Quy Tu - Benh Bong Alliance brought forth cai luong, the signature theatrical art form of the Southern region. Jun Pham shared that the group received support from Tieu Minh Phung in composing the cai luong lyrics. Additionally, the performance was accompanied by numerous collaborators across various aspects, from costumes and stage design to musical production.

Notably, this performance also gathered don ca tai tu (traditional amateur music) artists playing characteristic instruments such as the flute, dan bau (monochord), dan tranh (16-chord zither), dan kim (moon lute), and the scalloped fretboard guitar, contributing to a deeply Southern hue for the act. Furthermore, the performance featured a choreography derived from the "roi Thai Son" (Thai Son staff) one of the traditional Vietnamese martial arts stances under the guidance of Anh Tai Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat.

The Dung Si (Valiant) Stage featuring three Anh Tai: Hoang Ton, Will, and OSAD

This edition of the Dung Si stage featured the participation of three Anh Tai representing three different Alliances. At the end of the performances on the Dung Si stage, the audience cast their individual votes for their favorite Anh Tai. After enduring a rigorous trial by fire, the three Anh Tai stepping into this battle round were Hoang Ton (Quy Tu - Benh Bong Alliance), Will (Hop Luc - Ruc Ro Alliance), and OSAD (Nguyen To - My Man Alliance).

During the preparation process for the performance, OSAD revealed that he rewrote the opening lyrics to project a heroic spirit but with more restraint, avoiding an overly heavy feel. Conceptually, he selected words closely tied to Vietnamese imagery while exploring vocabulary that expresses a strong, epic spirit alongside familiar symbols like the bamboo tree. He further shared that in his rap verse, he used the line "Tự tôn như là ngọn lửa giấu mình ở trong than hồng, chỉ cần một ngọn gió thổi bùng lên cả non sông" (National pride is like a flame hidden within glowing embers; just a single breeze can ignite the entire nation) to speak about self-respect and national spirit. According to OSAD, sometimes individuals may not realize the depth of their love for their homeland, but when faced with hardships or special events, the national spirit and the tradition of "lá lành đùm lá rách" (the intact leaves protect the torn ones - mutual affection and support) are powerfully awakened. This is also the deeply meaningful imagery he wanted to convey through his rap this time.

OSAD conveyed a deeply meaningful message about national pride and spirit

In contrast to his confidence when stepping into the Trial by Fire challenge, Hoang Ton admitted he could not maintain that same mindset when facing the Dung Si stage. The male singer felt that the song's key this time was not truly aligned with his vocal range, causing him significant difficulties during the execution process. Consequently, this upcoming stage became a massive challenge for Hoang Ton, proving to be even more demanding than he had initially envisioned. Nevertheless, the male singer maintained a positive spirit and remained hopeful about elevating his performance through rigorous practice.

Despite his dwindling confidence compared to the Trial by Fire, Hoang Ton maintained a positive spirit to complete the song

Will revealed that his reason for signing up from the very beginning did not stem from a desire to improve his Firepower score, but simply because he wanted to keep his brothers safe after having witnessed far too many farewells. Consequently, stepping into this battle round, Will and the other two members were all acutely aware of their responsibilities. The task of protecting their alliance members also created considerable pressure, as the outcome of the round could dictate who would continue the journey and who had to leave.

Upon concluding the Dai Khai Hoan performance which was explosive in both choreography and music OSAD emotionally shared: "When looking at the Dung Si lineup this time and seeing my name, I'm sure everyone is quite surprised. Honestly, when comparing myself to the other 33 Anh Tai, I feel I still have many shortcomings and am a long way from reaching their level. But when I received the news that the show would open casting to give everyone a chance to try out for this Dung Si performance, I also thought I should just give it a shot. I hope that my presence here, combined with luck and my own efforts, can inspire everyone and tell everyone that no matter how immense or difficult a challenge may be, just try taking those first steps—who knows, an opportunity might just come to everyone."

Dai Khai Hoan exploded on stage with a combined performance from the three Anh Tai

Hoang Ton also shared that he always wanted to challenge himself with new things during his journey on Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai 2026. This was also why he chose the song Dai Khai Hoan, as it converges many musical colors he had never experimented with before, from rock and folk materials to rap. Will added: "Actually, this song Dai Khai Hoan carries a main message about the inherited will of our youth today from our forefathers. Because today we get to live in a very peaceful era, and that is something we must be deeply grateful for. We will show our patriotism by being good citizens, and by studying and working well. And hopefully, this inherited will can be spread through the song Dai Khai Hoan."

Performance 4 Results Announcement

The announcement segment kicked off with the results of the Dung Si stage, where member OSAD of the Nguyen To - My Man Alliance excellently claimed the Anh Tai Dung Si title with a score of 1,330 points.

Sharing his feelings about this victory, OSAD could not hide his emotions: "I was extremely surprised and moved at that moment. This is truly a massive joy for me. Before joining Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai 2026, I never thought such wonderful moments would happen to me. I only knew to do my absolute best to bring home a small title for myself and for our alliance." He continued: "The two people performing with me are both highly experienced. I know that in that moment, all three of us tried our hardest for the performance. If it hadn't been me, but brother Will or brother Ton who won the Dung Si title, all of the brothers would have been equally happy for that valiant warrior."

In this Performance 4, Jun Pham once again excellently earned the Chien tuong (Commander) title for his relentless efforts and dedication. Hoang Dung offered high praise for Jun Pham: "First of all, I must affirm that brother Jun is incredibly talented and deeply loved by everyone. I see him as a highly gifted and exceptionally versatile person capable of doing many things. I feel this is a thoroughly deserved result."

Next, the overall competition results for Performance 4 were revealed, with the Quy Tu - Benh Bong Alliance topping the leaderboard with a total of 5,520 points. Ranking second was the Hop Luc - Ruc Ro Alliance with 5,170 points, while the Nguyen To - My Man Alliance placed third with 5,160 points. Based on these results, the members of the first-place alliance would be entirely preserved. Meanwhile, the second-place alliance would have to say goodbye to one Anh Tai with the lowest Firepower score, and the third-place alliance would also have two Anh Tai forced to leave the game.

Notably, the situation could shift depending on the identity of the Anh Tai Dung Si. If the Dung Si belonged to the second-place alliance, he would have the power to protect the member at risk of elimination, meaning no Anh Tai would have to go home. Conversely, if the Dung Si belonged to the third-place alliance, his protection right would only apply to the Anh Tai with the higher Firepower score between the two members facing elimination.

Following the process of receiving results in the Fire Chamber, the outcomes were revealed, leading to a deeply regretful farewell from the members towards Anh Tai Tung Mint (Hop Luc - Ruc Ro Alliance) and Toki Thanh Tho (Nguyen To - My Man Alliance). Upon receiving the news of Tung Mint's departure, Thai VG expressed: "I prepared for this day, but it still makes me feel sad." Thanh Duy also could not hide his sorrow: "I understand that this is the universe's arrangement. Everyone was worried about how we would face this, and how we would break the news to brother Tung."

Will shared that he was truly crushed when he had to say goodbye to a brother who had accompanied him throughout the journey. The male singer deeply regretted that had he won the Dung Si badge, he could have used the protection right to keep Tung Mint on the show. Meanwhile, Hoang Dung reflected that the program's journey is now over two-thirds complete and had just closed an important cultural chapter. Facing the reality of a member stopping at this point, he wondered whether the person concluding their journey felt fully satisfied with what they had experienced and achieved.

Trinh Thang Binh expressed his deep respect for Tung Mint, noting that before coming to the show, the male singer had to overcome many "thorns" in life. According to him, those experiences and efforts make Tung Mint completely deserving of the opportunity to become a singer. He also sent words of encouragement, urging Tung Mint to view this as the moment to begin a new journey with music.

Tung Mint's departure at Performance 4 caused immense regret for the remaining brothers

Tung Mint shared that he had the opportunity to experience and accomplish many things throughout his journey on the show. From the very beginning, he always mentally prepared for the possibility that he might have to stop at any moment. According to Tung Mint, without the companionship and support of the brothers, it would have been difficult for him to stand on stage and reach this Performance. Looking back at the past journey, Tung Mint also felt proud of himself as the experiences on the show helped him gradually dispel the negative things in his life. For him, this was not just a journey of standing on a stage, but also an opportunity to change himself and step past the things that once weighed heavily on his heart.

In the Nguyen To - My Man Alliance, Toki Thanh Tho was the next member who had to say his goodbyes. Witnessing Toki Thanh Tho's calm demeanor in the face of the elimination results, OSAD empathetically shared: "Actually, there is one thing I deeply understand about Toki; we are the type of people who usually only show a happy face to the whole world." OSAD also believed that every member had tried their absolute best in this performance, so there should be no room for regrets. K.O also offered words of encouragement to his teammate: "To have made it this far, Toki has already been excellent, and stopping at this point is not an end, but it will be a new journey for Toki." After the show, Toki Thanh Tho also hoped everyone would still remember him with the image of a cheerful and carefree guy.

Despite having to say goodbye to the show, Anh Tai Tung Mint and Toki Thanh Tho will still continue on their own new journeys, while receiving much love and affection from the audience. The battle rounds in Performance 4, with themes tied to culture, have become a memorable milestone in the Anh Tai's Thorny journey, along with performances that opened up many fresh approaches to traditional cultural values. The upcoming episodes promise to continue bringing eye catching stages, along with new challenges on the members' journey.
