AP army was 'tamed' by the Anh Trai team, transformed too violently, threatening Quang Hung to fall from power?

After "Anh trai say hi", both Quan AP and Quang Hung MasterD have made their own progress. While Quan AP has escaped the familiar "ballad prince" image to pursue the "bad boy" image, surprising fans, Quang Hung has been quieter.

Recently, Quan AP and his "brothers" were in Las Vegas (USA) to participate in the 2-night concert "Say Hi" on July 26 and 27.

The AP Army revealed that the heat of the show has not cooled down yet, the brothers were called by name and cheered by the audience in the heart of America. The male singer and his "brothers" created 2 memorable performances for the audience, officially ending the series of 8 concerts.

Recently, Quan AP also surprised everyone when he became a part of Running Man Vietnam season 3, along with Tran Thanh, Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc, Lien Binh Phat, Quang Tuan, Quang Trung, Anh Tu Atus.

The male singer said that this is the time when he feels full of energy to try new things and step out of his comfort zone.

Recently, Quan AP released the MV Falling with you, which tells the story of a blind love of a boy who is infatuated with a girl. Different from his usual ballads and "prince" image, he chose a song with a strong rhythm and a "bad boy" image, which surprised many fans.

Sharing about this "transformation", Quan AP said: "The audience is familiar with a guy who sings gentle love songs, but I know everyone is also expecting something new. This is probably the right time for me to start doing more daring things, stepping out of my comfort zone."

The song also attracted attention with the rap voice of Phap Kieu. This is the first project of the two artists after being loved by the audience at Anh Trai Say Hi with the nicknames "prince" and "princess".

"Witnessing Phap Kieu's talent and what you showed in the program and concert, I love you even more and wish for a collaboration. After I opened up and sent the demo, Phap Kieu expressed interest and arranged to participate immediately," Quan AP added.

Regarding Quan AP and Quang Hung, although their starting points and musical colors are different, both clearly demonstrate talent, personality and outstanding efforts on their musical journey.

However, considering the success after the milestone "Anh trai say hi", between Quan AP and Quang Hung MasterD, we can clearly see the difference in influence, career, fan base as well as the artist image they built.

Quan AP, whose real name is Pham Anh Quan, rose to fame through his covers on YouTube thanks to his warm, emotional voice and good song processing techniques. He quickly made his mark with hits like "Who is the one who loves me", "The most beautiful flower", "The awkward apology" - deep ballads that suit the taste of the majority of Vietnamese audiences.

After "Anh trai say hi", Quan AP not only maintained his form but also gradually diversified his style. He appeared more in TV shows and major music events, received attention from brands, showing his steadfastness in the mainstream path. In particular, Quan AP's image gradually transformed from a quiet, cold guy to an approachable, friendly artist with inner depth, something that young audiences love.

On the contrary, Quang Hung MasterD has a more international development path. Before "Anh trai say hi", he had "caused a storm" in Thailand and some Asian countries with the song "De den de di" (Thai version of De Den De Di). Unlike Quan AP who followed the traditional ballad direction, Quang Hung chose a different direction when combining modern pop, R&B with gentle, soaring colors.

After the hit, Quan AP promoted his image as a multi-talented artist, not only a singer but also a music producer, composer and performer. However, following the path of an independent artist also limited his coverage compared to Quan AP - who has a professional media team and a clear strategy behind him.

In terms of fan base, both have loyal fan communities. However, Quan AP's fanbase seems to be larger and more widespread thanks to the popularity of his music genre, along with his frequent appearances in the media. Quang Hung MasterD, on the other hand, has strengths in the international market and audiences who love creativity and novelty. He has a special fan base from Thailand and Indonesia - a rare thing for a Vietnamese artist working independently, without going through a foreign entertainment company.

If we have to evaluate who is more successful after "Anh trai say hi", we can see that Quan AP has a clear advantage in terms of coverage, career stability, ability to attract advertising contracts and spread in the popular music market.

Meanwhile, Quang Hung MasterD is more "niche", choosing for himself an independent path, with few constraints and requiring great perseverance. His success does not come from massive domestic hits but from the recognition of international audiences, which is not easy to achieve.
