Deciphering the trend of "Hong Hai Nhi hunter" causing social media fever, not everyone can "swing"

One of the trends that has been causing a fever recently is "Pink Child Hunter". This phrase may seem strange but has quickly spread on social networking sites. So what is the Red Child Hunter and why does it attract so much attention from young people?

"The Red Child Hunter" originated from the character of the Red Child in the famous novel "Journey to the West" by Ngo Thua An. In the story, the Red Child is the son of the Taurus Demon King and Princess Thief, a mischievous and powerful boy.

However, when included in the language of Gen Z on social networks, Hong Nhi Nhi is no longer a mythical character but has become a symbol of young men in romantic relationships with older women.

The phrase "Baby Pink Hunter" is used to refer to women who actively seek out and flirt with boys younger than themselves. "Hunter" here has a humorous meaning, referring to the initiative and strength of women in sister-sister relationships. This is an alternative to the phrase "young pilots flying old lady planes" that appeared before.

The trend of hunting Red Babies starts from Chinese social networks in early 2024. However, it was not until the end of September 2024 that this trend spread to Vietnam.

On TikTok, thousands of videos on the topic of "Baby Pink Hunter" appear every day, with all kinds of funny and creative variations. Couples not only join the trend but also share sweet love stories, creating an irresistible attraction for this movement. Vietnamese Showbiz alone has had many couples participating, such as Lam Bao Chau and Le Quyen, Huy Tran and Ngo Thanh Van, or Phan Hien and Khanh Thi.

In real life, there is no shortage of sister couples, typically such as Le Thi Thu Sao and her young husband Trieu Hoa Cuong. Their wedding once caused a stir in public opinion, but after 6 years together, they have overcome all turbulence and lived happily.

Although it is only a trend of imitation, the use of the phrase "Red Child Hunter" raises many issues to ponder. Associating an 8-year-old boy like Hong Xiao Nhi with a romantic relationship inadvertently blurs moral boundaries and can lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

In addition, the use of the word "hunter" also emphasizes the negative factor, making the "sister-sister" relationship distorted and calculated. Not only does this damage the image of serious relationships, but it also creates inequality in gender perspectives.

However, many people think that this is just a fun trend, in order to show personal preferences when falling in love with younger people or simply a way to "show off" their romantic relationship in a lovely and witty style.

Besides "Hong Nhi Nhi", the online community also created many other variations such as:

Taurus Demon King - Older boyfriend

In the modern context, "Taurus Demon King" is used to refer to older men in a romantic relationship, especially when they are dating young women. This phrase alludes to the man's strength, experience, and even wealth, just like the generous divine power of the Taurus Demon King in Journey to the West. They are often people of power and status, provide a sense of security and stability in the relationship, and are the "object of pursuit" for many young women in modern times.

Nhi Lang Than - Boyfriend of the same age

On TikTok, the trend "Nhi Lang Than" refers to a love relationship with someone of the same age. Gen Z likens lovers of the same age to Nhi Lang Than, because they need a "third eye" to see through the nature of the other person. This is both funny and reflects the vigilance of falling in love with someone of the same age, requiring both of them to understand and look deeper into each other to maintain the relationship.
