The "Promoted Rookie Team" is defeated by KID PHENOMENON by only a 3-point margin

However, episode 4 of "Tan Binh Toan Nang" delivered an unexpected result, leaving viewers with complex emotions as the misjudged strategy by SOOBIN and the entire "Promoted Rookie Team (Tan Binh Thang Cap)" led to defeat, resulting in 3 rookies being frozen. Assessing the team’s morale, All-round Producer SOOBIN decided to implement the "Report Book" (So dau bai) system, strictly evaluating each rookie’s training attitude and discipline.

Tactical choice: Facing K-Pop Seniors or Competing with the Japanese Phenomenon?

In Round 2 of the 2nd performance, the international representatives elevated the "Tan Binh Toan Nang" stage to new heights with a serious competitive spirit.

KID PHENOMENON kicked off explosively with their track “Party over there,” showcasing the full energy and unique hip-hop style of the J-Pop music market.

JUSTB created a “double-hit” by performing a mashup of “Damage” and “Get Away,” asserting the professional dance skills and world-class caliber of experienced K-Pop idols.

2nd performance Round 2 Rule: All-Round Producer SOOBIN will secretly select 1 of the 2 international groups to compare scores with, based on the results of Round 1. After both international groups and the Rookie group have performed, the Rookie group’s score will be compared with the international group that All-Round Producer SOOBIN previously selected to determine the result of success or failure in conquering the challenge level.

After watching the performances of both international groups and considering the current state of the "Promoted Rookie Team (Tan Binh Thang Cap)", All-Round Producer SOOBIN decided to compete against KID PHENOMENON to prioritize absolute safety for the Rookies. The young trainees agreed with this decision as their musical styles were similar, promising a clearer, fairer competition. At the same time, All-Round Producer SOOBIN also maintained the challenge threshold at 90% and confirmed the milestone score for the Rookie group would be based on the voting score of the Japanese opponent. "We know exactly where our current abilities and limits lie, and we prioritize the safety of every member in the team," - All-Round Producer SOOBIN frankly expressed his view.

2nd performance Challenge Levels and Privileges:

• Achieve 90% or more of the international group's score: -3% challenge level for the next round
• Achieve 100% or more of the international group's score: Unlock 1 debut position.
• Achieve 115% or more of the international group's score: Unlock 2 debut positions.
• Each challenge level can only be chosen once per round; if surpassed, the corresponding privilege is granted. If the challenge level is not achieved in Round 1, each Rookie loses 100 individual points. If the challenge level is not achieved in Round 2, the challenge level for Performance 3 is increased by +3%. At the end of the 2 rounds, the live audience votes for their 3 favorite Rookies; the number of audience votes for each Rookie becomes their individual score.

With no more unexpected technical issues like the previous round, the "Promoted Rookie Team (Tan Binh Thang Cap)" confidently performed the song "Take a shot" with a baseball concept, demonstrating the highest level of teamwork and fighting spirit. Although the first-time experience of performing with difficult props went smoothly, the "Take a shot" performance this time did not create the expected explosive impact.

All-Round Producer SOOBIN gave a strict assessment of the "Promoted Rookie Team (Tan Binh Thang Cap)": "I was not very satisfied with the second song. Specifically, SOOBIN felt that the guys seemed too focused on the first song, so the fluency and synchronization shown in this second round weren’t up to my expectations.”

The final result was announced: "Party over there" from KID PHENOMENON received 700 voting points. The song "Take a shot" from the "Promoted Rookie Team (Tan Binh Thang Cap)" received 627 points (equivalent to 89.6% of the challenge level). Regrettably, the Rookies did not surpass the chosen challenge level of 90% of KID PHENOMENON's score.

Prior to the 2nd performance, the Rookies had undergone the most stressful days of high-intensity practice, from 8 AM to midnight. Duy Lan expressed the whole group's serious investment: "Honestly, for this Performance 2, we had to practice more intensely than in all the processes we’ve gone through... We are grinding at 200% of our strength, giving everything we have." This failure left the Rookies full of regret; minhtin shared the sorrowful feelings: "The feeling of being so close, but still not being able to reach it. Just missed it by a tiny bit.", Cuong Bach added: "It means we are still lacking something, a certain level of completion for the song "Take a shot". Even though "Take a shot" was a song I felt quite confident would bring victory because the betting number was only 90%. But it is a great pity."

Failed strategy, 3 Rookies frozen - All-Round Producer SOOBIN takes responsibility for the wrong decision

All-Round Producer SOOBIN, who set the challenge tactic, candidly took responsibility for the decision to face the "J-pop Phenomenon" KID PHENOMENON. However, he sees this defeat as great motivation for the team to learn from, emphasizing that this is a valuable opportunity to re-evaluate their actual skills: “We lost, but only by 3 points to a very strong international representative. And I want the Rookies all to fall into difficult challenges, truly. It has to be thresholds like this, so that all the potential and elements within each of you can be clearly unlocked."

All-Round Producer SOOBIN also apologized to the Rookies for choosing KID PHENOMENON as the benchmark, stating that if he had chosen JUSTB, the result would have been different. However, Cường Bạch and other Rookies admitted that choosing KID PHENOMENON as the Round 2 opponent was a collective decision, not SOOBIN's alone.

This failure means that the 3 members with the lowest individual scores will be frozen. From the 1st performance, the members at risk were Ho Dong Quan in 9th place, Duy Lan in 10th place, and Thai Le Minh Hieu in 11th place. However, the moment the results were revealed brought many surprises because not only Thai Le Minh Hieu but also minhtin and, most unexpectedly, leader Wonbi were the 3 people with the lowest individual scores after the 2nd performance, receiving the frozen disadvantage for the 3rd performance.

Individual score chart of the Rookies after the 2nd performance:

The outcome sparked mixed reactions and emotions among the three frozen members.

Wonbi expressed his shock, especially having taken on the leader position: “At that moment, I was numb. I don't know if there has ever been a case where a leader was frozen before. I thought there had never been such a case. And I am that case, so I didn't know what to say at that time besides being surprised at myself.”

Meanwhile, minhtin, after trying to hide his true emotions to avoid worrying his fellow Rookies, couldn't hold back tears when sharing the result: “I don't know what to say, but I think I am suffering from toxic positivity. I hid all my feelings inside. I know this journey requires a lot of focus and team spirit, so I didn't want to upset my teammates.”

As for Thai Le Minh Hieu, the member who had mentally prepared himself knowing the disadvantage of not performing in the 1st performance stage, also couldn't hide his disappointment, “It's a pity. I think that if I had been able to participate in the 1st performance stage, the one being frozen now wouldn't be me.”

Swan Nguyen added: "This is truly a result that even those who are safe don't feel happy about at all... Those who are safe must try even harder to rescue those who are frozen."

Facing the disappointment and confused emotions from the Rookies, All-Round Producer SOOBIN also expressed his concern: "I still want them to express their emotions as those their age should freely... The fact that Hieu just returned for one performance and then got frozen for the next one will also greatly affect his psyche... I'm also rather afraid that Minh Quan (Wonbi) will fall into a dejected state."

Despite the regrettable result, All-Round Producer SOOBIN hopes this will be a motivation for the Rookies to continue striving harder, showing the group's united spirit: "I just want to say to the three of you, this result does not evaluate your entire process. I just hope you have nothing to feel insecure about. And everyone else remaining here will definitely rescue you. This is just a challenge to help us become more united."

The iron discipline spirit of an idol: SOOBIN implements the "Report Book" (So Dau Bai) method, strictly warning about the training spirit

All-Round Producer SOOBIN opened a discussion with Choreography Expert Ha Sunghyun and Vocal Expert Jeon Woongmin about the Rookies' learning attitude before the 2nd performance. While still expressing sympathy for their efforts amidst an intensely packed schedule and the challenging language barrier, the experts frankly present some of the members’ distracting cases: private conversations, using their phones, and even failure to report late arrivals or absences during classes.

In the subsequent conversation with the rookies, SOOBIN did not hesitate to express his disappointment, strictly reminding them about the lack of discipline and sense of respect for the international experts: "Discipline is extremely important. Meaning, when you go to class, you should learn properly... We are in an environment where we have to train, and only with moments like this can we mature and get the chance to transform... I don't want the experts to return to Korea after this program and go around saying, 'Why did we go to Vietnam? Why did we teach those students when they had such poor discipline?' Honestly, it's very shameful."

SOOBIN emphasized that "Idol" is a profession that requires sacrifice, and you must be serious about your own decisions and choices: "We will not have a normal life... Let’s cultivate greater self-discipline for ourselves. Remind yourselves what should and shouldn't be done before doing something. Then I think that you will learn to control yourselves, and only then can you become idols. If you have chosen, determined that you are an idol, then you must be tougher with yourselves."

To reinforce the professionalism and serious responsibility of training a young generation of artists to inherit the nation's artistic essence, All-Round Producer SOOBIN and the program officially apply the "Report Book" (So Dau Bai) method. From now on, the experts will continuously evaluate each member in each session based on two factors: diligence and discipline, which will create a mechanism for adding or subtracting points, directly affecting the Rookies' individual scores. A one-time violation means having 30 individual points deducted. The 2nd violation will deduct 60 individual points. The 3rd violation will have the Rookie eliminated from the next Performance lineup. This is a decisive step by the program team, affirming the consistency in building a generation of idols who meet comprehensive standards according to international benchmarks.

Episode 4 concludes intensely with many complex emotions, despite regretting the narrow loss to KID PHENOMENON, which resulted in the three members with the lowest individual scores being frozen. However, this result is also a driving force to promote the spirit of unity and the will to strive for the "Promoted Rookie Team (Tan Binh Thang Cap)", while also raising the awareness of “iron” discipline so that the rookies can increasingly perfect themselves to get closer to the idol dream.

The program "Tan binh toan nang" (released as a main episode series on VTV3 and YouTube every Saturday night) has set a new standard for idol training programs in Vietnam by strictly avoiding drama or sensational elements and focusing entirely on refined expertise and professionalism in the Rookies' development process. With this serious direction, YeaH1 has demonstrated a strong investment in building a generation of talented young artists with solid skills, not only through the quality of music and choreography but also through meticulous investment in the stage system, equipment, and standard training procedures, affirming its commitment to elevating the quality of Vietnamese art.

The program is currently entering the Promoted (Thang cap) stage, broadcast on VTV3 at 20:00 every Saturday and 20:30 on the YeaH1 One Youtube channel, and is officially available on the MangoPlus entertainment application.
