1. “Anh Tài” Jun Phạm Officially Returns for the New Season with a Completely Different Mindset



At Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2024, Jun Phạm not only won over audiences with his sharp musical thinking, polished image, and warm personality, but also proved his outstanding leadership abilities as a team leader, continuously guiding his teammates toward remarkable achievements.

His determination, willingness to embrace challenges, and constant effort to reinvent himself through each performance round helped Jun Phạm remain one of the “Anh Tài” members with the highest audience voting power throughout the season.

Entering the journey of Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026, Jun Phạm revealed that he now carries a much more relaxed and comfortable mindset compared to his first experience on the show.

“After season one, I realized that I had put too much pressure on myself. Meanwhile, this is ultimately a reality show meant for entertainment and enjoyment. This season, I want to have more fun, feel more comfortable, and connect with both new friends and old brothers again.”

The singer openly admitted that letting go of pressure will be the key to fully enjoying the experience and performing at his best. Rather than focusing heavily on winning or losing, Jun Phạm shared that his biggest goal this season is connection - reuniting with old soulmates while welcoming new friendships along the journey.

2. A Reunion with “Himself” in the New Season: Duy Khánh Begins Again at Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026

Duy Khánh is widely recognized by audiences for his humor, versatile voice acting abilities, and charming entertainment mindset. Active across multiple artistic fields, he won a double victory at Ngôi Sao Xanh 2020 and later received a Mai Vàng Award in 2025.

The artist revealed that he initially considered declining the invitation to join the new season, but ultimately decided to return after being persuaded by another Anh Tài member.

“To be honest, my emotions right now are very mixed. I actually turned down the offer at first, but one of the brothers kept inviting me to join this season and talked to me every day, so I finally said yes. Even though I already experienced Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2024, entering this new season still makes me feel nervous like a complete beginner again”, Duy Khánh shared.

However, instead of putting pressure on himself, Duy Khánh is choosing to embrace the journey with a more open mindset, focusing on connection and personal growth in both thinking and stage presence. Teasing his upcoming solo stage, he revealed: “This time, I’ll still perform a solo stage without props or dancers — just me alone on stage. But I think I’ll be much more confident now. The performance will be very beautiful and worth looking forward to.”

3. Neko Lê Is Determined to Complete the Journey He Once Left Unfinished

Returning to Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026, Neko Lê shared heartfelt reflections about the unfinished goals and regrets he still carries from his previous journey. The artist admitted that there were many things he wished he had done differently during the 2024 season and that this return is an opportunity to complete what was left unfinished.

“In 2024, I missed out on quite a lot of things that I should have tried. This season, I want to challenge myself more in performance stages, vocals, and even leadership roles. There are things I once regretted not being able to do, and in 2026, I want to accomplish all of them”, he shared.

With more than 15 years of artistic experience, Neko Lê has consistently maintained a serious and dedicated attitude toward his career. Beyond working as a rapper, he has also made a strong impression as a director and content creator. Throughout his journey, the artist has received numerous recognitions, including Ngôi Sao Xanh Awards in 2020, 2023, and 2024, a TikTok Awards 2024 honor, and a Mai Vàng Award 2025 alongside the group Chín Muồi.

In the first season, BB Trần was one of the Anh Tài members who left the strongest impression thanks to his charming entertainment instincts and wholehearted dedication in every group performance. Beyond being the “comedic powerhouse” behind countless backstage laughs, the actor also continuously generated buzz across social media with his highly invested, performance-driven fashion looks.

For that reason, BB Trần’s return in the 2026 season is highly anticipated by audiences, who expect even more explosive interactions and memorable moments from him. Speaking about his comeback, BB Trần shared that he plans to approach the competition with the mindset of a complete newcomer:

“I think this time I’ll just keep an innocent and carefree mindset, like I know nothing at all. Things like singing, dancing, or even aerial performances and pole tricks — I honestly don’t know how to do any of them. So I’ll probably just do what suits me best: simple things, but fun.”

5. Thanh Duy: A Powerful Vocalist Stepping Out of His Shell to Continue Seeking New Connections on Stage

At Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2024, Thanh Duy participated in several audience-favorite performances such as Tình anh bán chiếu, Dẫu có lỗi lầm, Là anh đó, and Chiếc khăn Piêu - stages that showcased his versatility across different musical styles.

Beyond maintaining consistently strong vocal performances, Thanh Duy has also been recognized by many viewers as one of the Anh Tài members with the strongest sense of teamwork, always taking the initiative to connect with and support fellow contestants throughout rehearsals. The singer admitted that the first season changed him significantly on a personal level: “Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2024 helped me step out of my shell and build so many beautiful connections. That’s why this season I’m very excited to meet new Anh Tài members and discover what kind of chemistry we’ll create together on stage.”
