Alongside the growing excitement surrounding the cast, the organizers also announced that the Vietnam Technological and Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Techcombank) will continue accompanying the program as a Strategic Co-Investment Partner.

Entering the third year of implementing the co-investment model, the collaboration between YeaH1’s production capabilities and Techcombank’s financial backing is considered a key foundation in building an artistic ecosystem strong enough to encourage veteran artists to step outside their comfort zones.

From Trust to “Brand Love”

The two-year partnership journey between Techcombank and YeaH1 Group has become an inspiring story about a generation unafraid of challenges - individuals who dare to live boldly, dare to excel, and dare to win. They choose to overcome obstacles to reach greater heights, where financial aspirations and cultural ambitions intersect. For artists, this has also become a major source of motivation and appeal, encouraging them to challenge themselves on a completely new journey in their careers.

Now entering the third year of strategic co-investment with YeaH1, the strong connection between customers and the Techcombank ecosystem has continued to drive sustainable growth alongside impressive business achievements. Notably, the phrase “Techcombank’s sugar daddy” has even evolved into a popular and positive youth slang term in Vietnam.

Ms. Ngo Thi Van Hanh, CEO of YeaH1 Group, shared: “The relationship between YeaH1 and Techcombank has gone far beyond traditional sponsorship. This is a co-creation partnership — where both sides share the same vision, measure effectiveness together, and take responsibility together for the audience community we serve.”

A major highlight of this artist announcement round is the participation of members from some of Vietnam’s most iconic boy groups across different generations, including 365daband, Da LAB, and Uni5.

1. Anh Tài Thỏ (Da LAB): The Desire to Establish an Independent Artistic Identity

After accompanying Da LAB throughout its 20-year journey, Anh Tài Thỏ has become one of the key figures behind a series of “national hits” surpassing 100 million views, including Một nhà, Thanh xuân, and Gác lại âu lo. He and the group have also consistently ranked among the most-streamed Vietnamese artists on Spotify.

Joining this competition, the artist hopes to present a more independent image, stepping away from the familiar identity of the group in order to showcase his own distinct personality. Describing himself as a “smALL-ROUNDER” - a multi-tasking artist capable of songwriting, performing, and shaping creative direction, Anh Tài Thỏ is expected to reveal fresh new dimensions of himself and deliver highly personal performances on the big stage.

2. Anh Tài Thơm (Da LAB): The Television Gameshow “Debut” of a Pioneer

As one of the earliest artists to help bring reggae music closer to Vietnamese mainstream audiences, the appearance of Anh Tài Thơm brings a truly unique artistic color to the program. With 19 years dedicated to music, he and Da LAB have successfully built the Tử Tế live concert series through seven seasons and earned the affectionate audience nickname of “Vietnam’s No.2 boy group.”

Winner of the Favorite Song award at Bài hát Việt 2011, Anh Tài Thơm is known for his emotionally driven songwriting and signature storytelling vocal style. Notably, Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026 marks the very first reality show he has agreed to join after nearly two decades in the industry, promising many exciting surprises for audiences.

3. Anh Tài K.O: The Powerful Return of a New-Generation Multi-Talented Artist

With 11 years of artistic activity, K.O is recognized as one of the standout original members of the boy group Uni5. Since debuting in 2016, he quickly attracted media attention thanks to his strong stage visuals and contributed to bringing the group prestigious achievements such as the Mai Vàng Award and Runner-up title at The Heroes.

Beyond his visual appeal, K.O embodies the image of a true “all-rounder” artist with strengths in singing, dancing, rap, songwriting, and acting. Stepping outside his comfort zone after more than a decade of dedication, K.O promises to bring a mature and distinctive energy to the “Class of 2026.”

The breakthrough journeys of young artists like K.O continue to inspire Techcombank to accompany the program, not only fueling the explosive performances of the Anh Tài members but also creating greater value and experiences for customers through the Techcombank OneU loyalty ecosystem.

4. Anh Tài Toki Thành Thỏ: A Surprising Comeback After Nearly a Decade Away

The next announced member is Toki Thành Thỏ - former leader of the popular group Uni5 and once a major fan-favorite icon who helped the group win the “Most Favorite Music Group” award at the Mai Vàng Awards 2017. After nearly eight years away from artistic activities, Toki Thành Thỏ’s decision to join Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026 is considered one of the biggest turning points in his career.

This return is not simply a comeback, but also an opportunity for the artist to continue the unfinished chapters of his musical journey with a stronger and more confident version of himself. The strategic collaboration between pioneering content producer YeaH1 and modern financial institution Techcombank has created a solid launchpad for projects of this scale, turning the program into a magnet for historic returns such as Toki Thành Thỏ’s.

5. Anh Tài Will: The Confidence of a Versatile Artist with Extensive Stage Experience

Returning after spending time focusing on personal projects, Will enters the program backed by 16 years of consistent artistic activity. Starting as a member of 365daband - one of the most successful boy groups in V-pop history - Will possesses a strong foundation in teamwork performance, stage control, and audience connection.

Beyond making his mark as a singer through songs such as Nơi Ta Chờ Em and Tận Cùng Nỗi Nhớ, Will has also proven his abilities in cinema through the record-breaking film Em Chưa 18 and his work as a producer.

The combination of experienced Anh Tài artists and well-structured investment from major brands is gradually shaping a clearer identity for Vietnam’s cultural industry. Ms. Ngô Thị Vân Hạnh, CEO of YeaH1, shared:

“The relationship between YeaH1 and Techcombank has gone far beyond traditional sponsorship. This is a co-creation partnership — where both sides are jointly channeling professional investment into intellectual properties in order to sustainably commercialize local entertainment and cultural products.”
