Phuong My Chi "disappeared" from Sing! Asia, eliminated at the last minute, fans confused?

After the shocking loss to Vuong Hoang Hao, Phuong My Chi suddenly disappeared from " Sing! Asia ". This made fans worried and sparked many rumors about the singer's fate.

On the evening of June 20, episode 5 of the program Sing! Asia 2025 - Malaysia Station officially aired, attracting special attention from Vietnamese audiences. With the news that Phuong My Chi had excellently entered the Quarterfinals, Vietnamese fans were more than ever looking forward to witnessing the next performance of the "folk singer" in the international arena. However, contrary to expectations, the female singer was completely absent from this broadcast, causing many viewers to be confused and worried.

This unexpected absence quickly sparked speculation, especially when the results of episode 4 of Singapore Station last week were still a huge shoc.k. Could this heavy loss be the reason why the singer of Bong Phu Hoa's chance to continue was affected, or is there another reason behind her mysterious "disappearance"?

"Decoding" the absence: The problem lies in the program format

Until recently, all the worries and doubts of Vietnamese netizens about Phuong My Chi's absence in episode 5 were clearly answered when learning more about the unique format of the show.

Accordingly, "Sing! Asia 2025" is a 30-day music race, departing from Shanghai (China) and passing through major "Stations" in the Asian region, including Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, and finally Hong Kong for the Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals.

According to the rules of the show, the excellent contestant who becomes the "King of Stations" at any stop will be granted a special entry to the Quarterfinals regardless of the results in the following rounds. And this is the key to explaining Phuong My Chi's absence.

Previously, at Ha Long Bay Station, the Vietnamese singer had won the title of "King of Stations" after impressive confrontations with Miyuna and Chu Phi Ca. Having secured a ticket to the Quarterfinals means that she does not need to continue performing or appearing on television at the next Stations, unless the person with the highest score at that Station chooses to challenge her 1-on-1.

Episode 5, which aired on the evening of June 20, was the competition of the contestants from Station Malaysia. Since no contestants challenged her, Phuong My Chi of course did not need to perform in the competition. Therefore, her absence from this episode is completely reasonable according to the schedule and rules of "Sing! Asia".

The "win the war" strategy and the meaning of "shocking defeat"

Regarding the 3-20 loss to Vuong Hoang Hao in episode 4 of Singapore Station, Phuong My Chi's representative spoke up to explain the team's strategy. This person said: "We determined from the beginning that in Sing! Asia, Chi had two missions: to introduce Vietnamese culture to the world and to go as far as possible to reach the finals.

Let's talk a little about the format of the show: If you win the previous round [King of Stations], you've made it to the Quarterfinals. And in the next round, you'll go to the next stage to meet the winner of that stage. Winning or losing is no longer so important. Cultural exchange, bringing culture to the world is the priority. Once you're safe, it's important to have a strategy for distributing your strength properly. The goal is to win the whole war, not a single match."

This explanation clarifies the foresight of Phuong My Chi's team. With a safe ticket in hand, saving energy and focusing on the more important rounds ahead is a wise strategy. The "shocking" 3-20 loss was undesirable, but it did not affect her chances of advancing and could be considered part of the "reasonable distribution of energy" strategy, aiming to achieve the ultimate goal of going as far as possible, while still completing the task of introducing Vietnamese culture to the world.

Sing! Asia's tough competition and judging system

At "Sing! Asia", Phuong My Chi is competing with 31 other contestants from 8 different countries and territories in Asia such as Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia... Of which, China alone has 6 singers representing. This shows the extremely fierce competition of the contest.

According to producer Tran Dich, the winner or loser of a contestant will be calculated based on the combined votes of the advisors and the professional evaluation votes. However, the deciding factor for the players' fate lies in the votes of 21 professional online judges, from 21 different countries and territories.
