The producer of the Anh Anh concert was criticized for exaggerating the number of 78,000 spectators.

" Anh trai say hi" successfully held two large-scale concerts with the first night at Saigon Riverside Park (September 28) and Van Phuc Urban Area (October 17). The concert "Anh trai say hi" stunned with its unprecedented large scale, attracting tens of thousands of spectators.

With the "expansion" of 30 brothers, Vietnamese artist idol culture witnessed a strong change, attracting new fans who were only interested in international idols, forming the habit of "following domestic stars".

Marking a series of events that have gone down in Vietnamese concert history, recently, the producer of "Anh trai say hi" sent his gratitude to the audience. On Vie Channel's blue tick Threads account, the producer both thanked and announced the number of viewers who watched the two nights of the "Anh trai say hi" concert live. Notably, this number reached 78 thousand viewers - an unprecedented record in Vietnam. Immediately, social networks exploded with debate.

This is the number of VieChannel HTV2 accounts with a blue tick posted a notice about the number of viewers who directly watched the two nights of Anh trai say hi concert (ATSH). "Sincerely thank the 78,000 viewers who directly watched the two nights of Anh trai say hi concert 2024 at two locations: Saigon Riverside Park and Van Phuc Urban Area.

We would like to thank the security and ticket control units and local authorities, Thu Duc City in particular and Ho Chi Minh City in general for supporting the safety of the audience in and around the two above venues" - the program's publisher Anh trai say hi said.

According to a post from the main sponsor of the ATSH concert, the first concert on September 28 attracted 15,000 spectators to Saigon Riverside Park. Jsol - one of the 30 brothers - posted that the concert welcomed 25,000 spectators, then revised it to 35,000 and continued to revise it a third time down to 15,000 spectators. All of this data makes the public not know the real number of people who came to watch the concert.

Based on information from the main sponsor, minus the audience of night 1, the audience of night 2 of ATSH was around 63,000.

This data further shakes the audience's confidence because this is a huge number, equal to the large-scale concerts of Taylor Swift, BTS... BlackPink's two-night Born Pink concert at My Dinh Stadium (Hanoi) in 2023 also only reached 67,000 spectators, according to statistics from Touring Data.

The announcement from the organizer was unclear when talking about "live viewers" and not people who paid for tickets. Many viewers believe that the producer counted the audience around the venue and online viewers to come up with the number of 78,000.

"So the stage is qualified to invite Taylor Swift, BTS, BlackPink to Vietnam to hold a concert in Van Phuc thanks to statistics from ATSH Organizing Committee", "A way to hide data to increase communication", "Including passersby, including surrounding houses, like this, even if 30 guys are brought into Tokyo Dome, there still won't be enough seats"... netizens mocked the announcement from ATSH concert producer.

At the ATSH concert night 2, the venue investor's website had a post about organizing the Ravolution Music Festival 2023, in the same area as the ATSH concert. This venue has a capacity of up to 20,000 people.

A football site said the Super Sunday match between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield filled the stands with 60,000 spectators, but this number was still lower than ATSH's concert 2.

The club's 35 million-follower fan page, Tottenham Hotspur's Facebook fan page, quickly caught the trend, using NXS ATSH's announcement to create humorous content. The reason for the Vietnamese content is because this page was posted by the official Tottenham fan club in Vietnam, and is only displayed for devices with IPs in Vietnam.

Many people are waiting for evidence of the 78,000 live viewers of the ATSH concert. Until now, the ATSH program's publisher has remained silent despite receiving harsh reactions from the public. On December 7, the third night of the ATSH concert is scheduled to be held at My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi.

After the concert, Brother's Organizing Committee came out to clarify the rare incident of an audience member fainting.

Although it ended successfully, the program was still involved in a series of controversies related to the organization and audience rights.
