Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026: First 5 "Anh Tai" officially revealed

Accordingly, NSƯT Đại Nghĩa, Dũng DT (Đinh Tiến Dũng - Giáo sư Cù Trọng Xoay), Hoàng Tôn, Lê Xuân Tiền, and Phùng Minh Cương are the first five faces to be revealed.

With the appearance of figures ranging from "titans" of the theater world to "one-of-a-kind" talents from circus and cinema, this lineup promises to create a massive draw for this year’s season.

NSƯT Đại Nghĩa: A "tough puzzle" between strengths and weaknesses

The presence of NSƯT Đại Nghĩa is considered a guarantee of quality and attraction for this season. With over 25 years of dedication, he is regarded as a senior figure and a "titan" of the Vietnamese theater and hosting industry.

Facing the challenges of Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026, NSƯT Đại Nghĩa carries the mindset of a "rookie." He affirms that he is not afraid to learn from the younger generation to solve the "tough puzzle" of professional dancing and singing in his upcoming solo performance. He shared: "This is an opportunity for me to realize my love for the program since last year. I believe that the breakthrough of the younger generation is a source of inspiration for me on this journey."

Dũng DT (Đinh Tiến Dũng): Bidding farewell to "Giáo sư Xoay" to live fully with musical passion

Another equally surprising addition to the Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026 roster is Dũng DT (Đinh Tiến Dũng), widely known by the stage name "Giáo sư Xoay." He decided to join the program using his real name instead of the title "Giáo sư Xoay," which has been deeply etched in the audience's subconscious.

Dũng DT admitted he is experiencing a mix of emotions: "Excited because it's the first time I'm seriously pursuing music, but also full of pressure." For him, winning or losing is not the ultimate goal.

The fact that Dũng DT confirmed his participation under his real name is a delightful surprise. He is not only a television personality but also the mind behind the success of many major cultural projects. He has been the "soul" behind the scripts of the national program Gặp nhau cuối năm (Táo Quân) for many consecutive years and left a deep mark with the role of Giáo sư Cù Trọng Xoay in Hỏi xoay đáp xoay—a character that has become a part of Vietnamese pop culture.

Phùng Minh Cương: The "God of Fire" of the circus world and the ambition to break out of the comfort zone

Regarded as a "unique" element of the season, circus artist Phùng Minh Cương expects to bring a completely fresh color by integrating circus arts into a musical arena for the first time.

Phùng Minh Cương is one of the representative faces of the young generation. Born in 2002, this Anh Tai possesses formidable achievements, including a Silver Medal at the International Circus Festival, asserting his professional class at a continental level. Additionally, he played the lead role of "Hỏa Thần" in the play Vùng đất kỳ bí - a circus-drama work that took the media by storm and consistently "sold out" recently.

Having gone viral with the powerful role of "Hỏa Thần," this time Phùng Minh Cương wants the audience to see a different version of himself. He hopes the program will be a milestone to break his personal limits. Despite admitting the pressure of standing on a music stage, the young artist remains full of energy with the goal of learning and creating explosive collaborations with other Anh Tai.

Hoàng Tôn: The strategy of "upgrading" national hits and versatile performance

Hoàng Tôn is an artist with a distinct color in V-Pop, boasting a massive listener base with over 1.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Coming to Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026, he brings a spirit of self-renewal and personal upgrading, aiming for a modern and energetic image on stage.

As the "father" of a series of national hits like Để em rời xa, Nước hoa, Tình yêu ngủ quên..., Hoàng Tôn stated: "Tôn will choose a familiar song so that the audience can sing along, but will completely refresh it. In particular, Tôn hopes to play musical instruments live on stage to create the strongest impression."

Lê Xuân Tiền: Efforts to surpass limits from "zero" in music

As the male lead in the hundred-billion-revenue film series Gái già lắm chiêu, Lê Xuân Tiền contributed to helping these films reach record-breaking revenue milestones at the time of their release. Possessing an elegant on-screen image and the physical foundation of a Taekwondo martial artist, Lê Xuân Tiền appears as an intriguing mystery for Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026.

The actor also frankly admitted his anxiety, as his starting point is that of a complete "rookie" in music and choreography. "Although I am familiar to the audience through film roles, the performance capability of Anh Tai Lê Xuân Tiền remains a curious mystery waiting for the Gai Con to discover," he said.

Starting from "zero" in singing skills, Lê Xuân Tiền is putting his full effort into training to utilize his martial artist physical advantages in powerful choreography, promising a breakthrough appearance.
