Neko Lê’s reaction on ‘Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai’ fuels online controversy

A snapshot from episode 4 of the Vietnamese reality series “Anh Trai Vượt Ngàn Chông Gai 2026” showing Neko Lê with a smile while fellow contestants were visibly upset sparked intense debate on social media. Some users accused him of being insensitive, saying “Neko Lê nên dừng cuộc chơi,” while others argued that a single frame cannot capture the full context and warned against judging his attitude from a brief moment.

Later, Neko Lê led the “Nhà Điện ảnh” team in a rain‑themed performance that blended singing, rap and contemporary dance. Critics found the rap lyrics dated and the choreography uneven, questioning why he remained in the competition while other participants were eliminated. Supporters noted the piece’s emotional narrative and cohesive storyline. The discussions highlight how viewers closely scrutinize participants’ expressions and artistic choices on the show.
