The first time a speech program was broadcast live
Amidst the flood of game shows and variety shows currently on television, "I Speak Up" is certainly a breath of fresh air, providing a more in-depth yet entertaining look.

In each episode, the program will invite to the studio two guests who are related to or knowledgeable about the selected issue. Each person will represent two opposing opinions, giving reasons and arguments to defend their point of view as well as to oppose the other person's opinion.
However, this is not a traditional dialogue where guests chat and respond to each other in a polite, diplomatic manner; instead, they are able to directly criticize, right when the “opponent” is speaking. Therefore, “I speak up” brings the audience a “real life” quality instead of the pre-scripted constraints. In particular, the audience also has the right to ring the bell to speak up at any time to participate in the debate.
The interesting point in the program's approach to content is to choose the majority's prejudices about phenomena and events to "stimulate" the debate between the guests. Through stories and specific evidence, the contradictions in the arguments of the two participating characters are further pushed up, increasing the drama and creating excitement for the audience. The issues in the program "I speak up" are also concretized in many forms such as: investigative reports, reenactment clips, body dance, situations...
Topic number 1 of “I speak up”, broadcast on June 6, is “Should parents leave money to their children?” with the participation of two guests: Dr. of Psychology Tran Thanh Nam from Hanoi National University; journalist Hoang Nguyen Vu from VnExpress newspaper.
