RHYDER is a fan of G-Dragon, accused of copying the Big Bang leader, and embroiled in controversy over one thing.

Recently, a clip capturing the moment RHYDER appeared in the intro to the opening of his solo set at a music festival quickly went viral on social media.

In a short time, this video attracted significant attention, becoming a hot topic of discussion among netizens.

Accordingly, like many international stars, the show's team created an elaborate intro video, capturing Rhyder's movement from the backstage area onto the stage. The cinematic camera angles, lighting, and fast-paced editing created the feeling of an "opening scene," leaving the audience excited before the singer officially appeared.

However, this intro itself sparked a wave of mixed opinions. Some netizens argued that from gestures and demeanor to the way RHYDER interacted with the camera, he bore many similarities to G-Dragon – the leader of BIGBANG and a style icon of the Korean music industry. On social media platforms, numerous comments appeared suggesting that the young singer was "learning" from or "being too clearly influenced" by the image of the international idol.

Conversely, many viewers believe that it's perfectly normal for a young artist to be influenced by big names. In fact, RHYDER is known to be a huge fan of G-Dragon. Previously, the singer attended a show featuring the BIGBANG leader in Hanoi in 2024 and shared photos with his idol on social media. Therefore, it's understandable that RHYDER's performance style and stage presence are inspired by his idol, and many even see it as a motivation for self-improvement.

Amidst the mixed opinions, the singer's fan community also spoke out, urging people to maintain a positive attitude and view stylistic influences as an inevitable part of a young artist's development. For them, what matters most is that RHYDER is gradually building his own unique mark on stage, showcasing his musical vision and image more and more clearly.

Despite ongoing debate, it's undeniable that Rhyder's appearance at this music event became a hot topic on social media, contributing to his widespread popularity among young audiences. This is also seen as a sign of Rhyder's growing appeal among Gen Z artists.

Beyond the eye-catching intro, RHYDER's performance at the event also received much praise for its meticulous musical investment. The male singer delivered a series of revamped performances featuring live looping, live piano playing, and a seamless arrangement of songs that conveyed a continuous emotional flow. Many audience members commented that this was not simply a musical performance, but rather a contemporary art show where visuals, sound, and emotion were intimately connected.

RHYDER, whose real name is Nguyen Quang Anh, was born in 2001. He won The Voice Kids Vietnam 2013, beating another strong competitor, Phuong My Chi.

Back in 2013, his mother went to great lengths to get her son to Ho Chi Minh City to participate in the competition. Quang Anh was described as having talent and a sincere, innocent personality.

Despite starting out as a child star, Rhyder struggled to find his place in the music industry in the years that followed. A turning point in his career came when he participated in Rap Viet Season 3 and reached the finals.
