Tran Thanh challenges Truong Giang, the war of more than a decade erupts, fans are tense?

Tran Thanh's return to Running Man season 3 is a declaration of war against the "trump card" Truong Giang and 2 Days 1 Night, pushing the decade-long confrontation between the two "kings" of entertainment to a climax and more tension than ever?

As of October 27, the Vietnamese game show market is witnessing a fierce competition when the two leading entertainment "kings", Tran Thanh and Truong Giang, simultaneously returned with two of the most popular reality shows. Tran Thanh has just officially returned as a member of the new season of Running Man Vietnam, while Truong Giang continues to be the "soul" of 2 Days 1 Night (2N1D) season 4. Both shows are in the genre of combined sports and tourism, have large investment scales, and especially, are currently airing and continuously receiving millions of views on YouTube each episode, creating a direct confrontation in the prime time slot on the weekend. This coincidence pushes two names that have always been put on the scale of comparison into a "battle" that is no longer underground.

Two "Forces" Go On Air Together, Together Reap "Millions of Views"

Tran Thanh's participation in Running Man Vietnam is considered a strategic move to "heat up" the new season. With his experience in leading and the ability to control emotions and create dramatic highlights, Tran Thanh is expected to become a "magnet" that attracts huge ratings and views, especially in the current fiercely competitive context. On the contrary, Truong Giang continues to affirm his appeal at 2N1D - a program that has built a brand and a loyal fan base after three seasons thanks to its rustic humor and closeness, helping the program maintain its position as one of the top YouTube shows in terms of views.

The simultaneous appearance of these two leading characters in the reality show genre in two rival programs promises to create a multi-dimensional competition. The confrontation will not only be limited to television views, but also to the achievement of "million views" on the YouTube platform, the level of virality on social networks, the level of audience love, and of course, the personal heat of Tran Thanh and Truong Giang.

"Invisible War" Blows Up the Heat

The near-simultaneous return of two top game shows has unintentionally turned the Tran Thanh - Truong Giang rivalry into an "invisible" war created by the audience. As soon as the news of Tran Thanh's participation in Running Man Vietnam was announced, many opinions expressed their eagerness to see whether this program could "overwhelm" 2N1D or not. On the contrary, Truong Giang's fans are also ready to protect their idol's "territory", especially when both programs have continuously proven their popularity with millions of views on digital platforms.

On the positive side, this rivalry is a vibrant signal for the entertainment market. It pushes both shows to improve the quality of their content, creating more memorable moments. Social media debates, if controlled, are a powerful catalyst for the show's spread. However, the constant comparison also has the potential to lead to a war of words between fan factions, derailing what should be a relaxing entertainment experience.

However, fans are still eagerly waiting to see how Tran Thanh and Truong Giang will create heat for the year-end game show season, when these two "kings" face off head-to-head on all fronts.
