Ryn Lee reaches the final of Anh Trai Say Hi amidst controversy over her abilities.

After the fourth live stage of the show "Anh Trai Say Hi" (Brother Say Hi) concluded, Ryn Lee's qualification for the final round sparked a major debate among viewers. Many expressed skepticism about the abilities and contributions of the male singer, who is known as the younger brother of Quang Hung MasterD.

The source of the doubts

The focus of the discussions revolved around Ryn Lee's absence from the group's production credits across several rounds of the competition. Viewers pointed out that, aside from his lyric contribution to the performance of "Thiêu Thân" (Burning Oneself), his name did not appear in subsequent works such as "Nỡ Lòng Đồng Ý" (Having the Heart to Agree), "Cũng May Là Ế" (Luckily I'm Still Single), or "Ảo Ảnh" (Illusion) in any role involving additional lyrics or rap.

In addition, Ryn Lee's work ethic has also been questioned. Many behind-the-scenes moments show that he was frequently absent from B Ray's team's music rehearsals at livestage 4. Previously, at livestage 3, he was also said to have arrived later than other members of Dillan Hoang Phan's team.

Mixed reactions from the public.

These issues sparked a strong backlash. Some viewers felt Ryn Lee didn't deserve to advance, especially when compared to more well-rounded contestants who had already been eliminated, such as Cody Nam Võ and Jaysonlei. The label "Quang Hùng MasterD's younger brother" was both an advantage in terms of recognition and a reason for criticism that he was "riding on his brother's coattails."

Conversely, Ryn Lee's fans have spoken out in his defense, arguing that he is dealing with an emotional disorder that could affect his performance and interactions. They called for more tolerance towards a rookie in a competitive environment.

However, many argue that mental health issues shouldn't be used as an excuse for unprofessionalism. They cite the case of Karik, who continued to compete despite his injury, and Ngo Kien Huy, who always arranged his busy schedule to participate with the team. Team captain Vu Cat Tuong also posted what was seen as defending Ryn Lee, emphasizing that the audience only cares about the overall results on stage.

The solo performance is the final answer.

Amidst conflicting opinions, Ryn Lee's upcoming solo performance in the finals is seen as the most important opportunity for him to prove his true abilities. This is when he can showcase himself without the support of his group members.

While audience feedback is important, the most accurate answer to the controversies will come from Ryn Lee's own performance. This will be the deciding factor in how the audience assesses his potential and worthiness in the competition, as well as in his future career.
