List of "em xinh"
Em xinh "say hi" consists of 30 female artists (dubbed as "em xinh") working in multiple fields. Each "em xinh" is defined as "idols" who not only have attractive figures and talent, but also the "aura" - a term commonly used as a person who are not being confined to a singular identity, who constantly evolve and change, but still retain their own identity.
All "em xinh" will go through the process of music making, practice to prepare for performances and go through challenges to improve their "Real Aura": Presence, Magnetism, Identity, Adaptability and Impact. The show's target is to find the new generation of Vietnamese idols that possess the "Real Aura", ready to get through challenges, experiment in the arts while maintaining the traditional values of Vietnamese women. The winners would have the opportunity to be in a girl group.
The list below include the cast members that was announced on 2 May 2025. In the cast of 30 "em xinh", Bảo Anh appeared on the first season of the Vietnamese version of Sisters Who Make Waves, a show with a similar format, before quitting for personal reason.

Program's content
Livestage 1
Prior to stepping in the main room, all of the cast have to participate in a game. Each "em xinh" were given 100 points and can choose between two rooms: "Quiet" room to purchase amenities or "Active" room to do challenges and gain points to purchase amenities. During the waiting for all 30 "em xinh" to join the main room, there are challenges for the contestants that entered previously, announced through secret phone calls. After all of the cast's entrance, a randomizer occurred, where the whole cast switch seats with each other to determine the team (which are based on the label behind the number of the seat). Based on the label, six teams were formed: team "The moon hugs the sun" (Châu Bùi, Yeolan, Lyhan, 52Hz, Ánh Sáng AZA); team "Diamond" (Phương Mỹ Chi, MaiQuinn, Bích Phương, Lamoon, Pháo); team "Eyes" (Miu Lê, Ngô Lan Hương, Đào Tử A1J, Muộii, Saabirose); team "Wings" (Bảo Anh, Mỹ Mỹ, Quỳnh Anh Shyn, Orange, Vũ Thảo My); team "Infinity" (Phương Ly, Juky San, Chi Xê, Hoàng Duyên, Tiên Tiên) and team "Shield" (LyLy, Lâm Bảo Ngọc, Liu Grace, Han Sara, Danmy).
Each team then chose their team captain (except for Miu Lê who automatically became a team leader as a reward to her completion of the secret mission being given prior, although she later abandoned the role due to the show's twist). The team leaders are: Tiên Tiên (team Infinity), Bích Phương (team Diamond), LyLy (team Shield), Quỳnh Anh Shyn (team Wings), Châu Bùi (team The moon hugs the sun) and Miu Lê (team Eyes). Then, the contestants who own the Pyraminx (Miu Lê, Bảo Anh, Tiên Tiên) have the ability to switch team with another "em xinh". In case of a team captain switching team, the em xinh that replaced their spot would be the new team captain. The teams after switching are as follow ("em xinh" with their name bolded are that team's captain):
- Team "The moon hugs the sun": Châu Bùi, Yeolan, Lyhan, 52Hz, Ánh Sáng AZA
- Team "Diamond": Bích Phương, Phương Mỹ Chi, Tiên Tiên, Lamoon, Pháo
- Team "Eyes": MaiQuinn, Ngô Lan Hương, Đào Tử A1J, Muộii, Saabirose
- Team "Wings": Quỳnh Anh Shyn, Miu Lê, Mỹ Mỹ, Orange, Vũ Thảo My
- Team "Infinity" Pháo, Phương Ly, Juky San, Chi Xê, Hoàng Duyên
- Team "Shield" LyLy, Lâm Bảo Ngọc, Liu Grace, Han Sara, Danmy
The remaining score after the games are being used to purchase shoes for the game, each with different prices. The order to buy shoes are based on the team's total score. Team "The moon hugs the sun" does not have enough points to buy shoes for the whole team, therefore have to use the shoes chosen by the host. After a catwalk session to warmup, each team would do a splitting challenge using the chosen shoes, creating a line from the first feet to the second feet. The team's score is the total length of all 5 lines created by all members. The team with more length have priority to choose their song demo.
After the game, the whole cast had the chance to listen and choose from the six new song demos. After the process of song choosing, all 30 em xinh would create two armies through randomization. After the process of randomization, four em xinh that possessed the Rubik cube (Phương Mỹ Chi, LyLy, Danmy, Châu Bùi) would pick a member in their army to switch with another member of the other army. As the result of the switch, Pháo was switched with Bích Phương, Lâm Bảo Ngọc was switched with Bảo Anh, Miu Lê was switched with Tiên Tiên and Phương Ly was switched with Ánh Sáng AZA. Each team also chose an army leader, with Bích Phương and Tiên Tiên are the two armies leader for army 1 and army 2, respectively.
The final lineup for two armies are as follow (army leader name are in bold)
Army 1: Bích Phương, Phương Ly, Miu Lê, Bảo Anh, Lyly, Mỹ Mỹ, Quỳnh Anh Shyn, Orange, Liu Grace, Vũ Thảo My, Ngô Lan Hương, Chi Xê, Hoàng Duyên, Saabirose and Lamoon.
Army 2: Tiên Tiên, Lâm Bảo Ngọc, Châu Bùi, MaiQuinn, Juky San, Yeolan, Lyhan, Đào Tử A1J, 52Hz, Han Sara, Muộii, Phương Mỹ Chi, Pháo, Danmy, Ánh Sáng AZA.
For the first Livestage, 30 em xinh have to perform two songs in two rounds:
- Round 1 - Armies battle: Each army have to perform their own remake of the show's theme song (The Real Aura). After each performance, 300 studio audiences would vote for the performance (they can vote for both). The army with higher score would be the winner of the round and each member would have 50 additional points to their own individual points.
- Round 2 - Group battle: Each team would perform their own song derived from the assigned demo. After each performance, 300 studio audiences would vote for each em xinh to create their individual score (it is possible to vote for every em xinh). After every performances, audience would vote for two of their favorite performances. The three teams with the most votes would have each of its member to have 100, 75 or 50 points respectively.
Concluding Livestage 1, army 2 is the winner of the first round, resulting in all 15 members of the team have an extra 50 points for their individual score. For the second round, team Diamond, The moon hugs the sun and Eyes are the top three teams, receiving 114, 98 and 97 votes respectively. This mean that each member of the teams Diamond, The moon hugs the sun and Eyes receive 100, 75 and 50 points respectively. The rest three teams receive 95, 82 and 81 votes, although the host did not specify which team receive how many votes.
No "em xinh" was eliminated after Livestage 1.

Team captain
Winning/Highest ranking team's score
Livestage 2
Prior to Livestage 2, a team and song choosing round were organized. 30 "em xinh" was divided into four teams, two 8 members teams and two 7 members teams. Four new team captains were chosen, two of whom being the two "em xinh" with the most individual points (Phương Mỹ Chi and 52Hz); the other two having the most audience votes (Bích Phương and Miu Lê). The team members quantity was determined through randomization, with 52Hz's and Bích Phương's team having 8 members and 7 members for Miu Lê's and Phương Mỹ Chi's team.
There are three rounds of team picking:
- First round: each team captain go to their own separate area to choose three fans with three "em xinh"'s name they want to form team with, including one "em xinh" with an odd rank number, one with an even rank number and another of their choice. Those who was chosen by one or more team captains would move to an area to hear the captain's plea. They could either join a team or reject the team captains and move to the "upheaval" area (bể dâu) (where they no longer have the ability to choose their team).
- Second round: the rest of the cast who were not chosen by the team's captain would put the fan with their name on it to a team's area that they want to join. They then have to convince their selected team captain to choose them for their team. The captain then either reject or accept that "em xinh" into their team (the maximum "em xinh" they could accept is the number of vacant spot in their team). The "em xinh" that are accepted into a team would join that team, those that got rejected would move to the "upheaval" area.
- Third round: the captains who still haven't have enough team members would select members from the "upheaval" area through randomization. Each of the remaining em xinh would tie their hand to a string. The leaders on the other side would not know which string belong to who. They must pull the amount of strings equal to the amount of vacant spot in their team. Whichever em xinh's string that the captain pulled would automatically placed them in that team.
The teams for this round are (team's captain are highlighted in bold), and the rounds of selection of each "em xinh" were
- 52Hz; Orange (first round); Châu Bùi, Mỹ Mỹ, Lâm Bảo Ngọc, Saabirose (second round); MaiQuinn, Quỳnh Anh Shyn (third round)
- Bích Phương; Ngô Lan Hương, Lamoon (first round); Hoàng Duyên, Lyhan, Muộii, Yeolan, Han Sara (third round)
- Miu Lê; Danmy, Tiên Tiên, LyLy (first round); Juky San, Đào Tử A1J, (second round), Vũ Thảo My (third round)
- Phương Mỹ Chi; Phương Ly, Ánh Sáng AZA (second round); Chi Xê, Pháo, Bảo Anh, Liu Grace (third round)
After the team formation, the whole cast had a night activity and participate in games and missions to earn points. The next day, all 30 em xinh proceeded to select the songs for Livestage 2, as well as selecting the male guest artists that would be featured in their songs. Those guest artists are: Wean, Pháp Kiều, Quang Hùng MasterD, Hùng Huỳnh, Negav, Tăng Duy Tân, JSOL and Dương Domic.
The process of choosing the guest features are as follow,
Each team would have two out of eight available guest artists to feature on their performances. Prior to the taping of this section, all of the artists would make a poster involving hints about another one. In order to have that artist to their team, the team must guess correctly which poster are portraying which artist. The guessing order are based on the result of the minigames prior.
The guests for each team are:
- Phương Mỹ Chi's team: Wean, Negav
- 52Hz's team: Pháp Kiều, Quang Hùng MasterD
- Miu Lê's team: Dương Domic, Hùng Huỳnh
- Bích Phương's team: JSOL, Tăng Duy Tân
After choosing the guests, the teams would begin choosing songs. The process of choosing songs happened through a bidding process.
- Round 1: Each team would have a fund of points, being 70% to 80% of the total Livestage 1's individual points from all the team members, along with game score and lucky score. The host then play the first 4 demos randomly with the starting price increasing from the previous one, being 400, 500, 600 and 700 points. Before the host say the song title, all of the teams have 10 seconds to choose if they want to participate. If no teams join, every team would be deducted the amount of points equal to the starting price and the song would be bet last. If only one team want to participate, that song automatically go to them. If there are two teams or more wants to participate, the bidding would happen and each team could bid 30 points more from the previous bidding value. If the team cannot continue bidding, they would get their points deducted to the amount equal to the starting price. The team who get the last song would have to buy it with 60% of the remaining points in their fund.
- Round 2: The team's remaining unused points are added to their bidding fund. They would then divide the fund into three out of four remaining demos. The priority of bidding which demo are based on the number of participating teams and total amount of points being set to the song. The team who set the highest amount for that song would have that amount as the starting price. Then, the bidding process happened the same way as the first round, when each team then divide the fund into two out of three demos and for all the remaining two demos. The team who got the last song would have to use all of their remaining fund to buy that song.
Here's the funding and bidding process
| Team | Total of members' Livestage 1 individual score | Game score[c] | Lucky score[d] | Total fund | Round 1 fund | Song 1 - price | Song 2 - price | Remaining fund |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 52Hz | 2219 | 120 | 140 | 2479 | 1950 | Không đau nữa rồi (No more pain) - 900 | Gã săn cá (Fisherman) - 1300 | 279 |
| Phương Mỹ Chi | 1976 | 80 | 150 | 2206 | 1544 | Hề (Hilarious) - 960 | Perfect - 1200 | 46 |
| Miu Lê | 1866 | 80 | 150 | 2096 | 1488 | We belong together - 1450 | Điều em luôn mong muốn (What I really want) - 646 [f] | 0 |

- Bích Phương's team: Red Flag, Em chỉ là (I'm just)

The first night is for the 4-members units and the second night is for the remaining members who haven't perform. After each performance, audience would vote for each individual "em xinh". At the conclusion of each night, they would vote for 2 out of 4 performances that performed in that night. The team points would be the total votes from two performances and the bonus points (if applicable). The team with the highest total points would be the winning team, with all of the members safe from elimination, no matter their individual votes. Six "em xinh" from the remaining teams that have the lowest votes would be eliminated.

Livestage 3
At the third Livestage, 24 remaining "em xinh" was divided into six 4-members team. 3 "em xinh" with the highest votes (52Hz, Orange and Miu Lê) were the first three captains of the round. The studio audience from the last Livestage also voted for two "em xinh" that they want to see them being a team's captain. Tiên Tiên and Phương Ly were next two captains based on the voting. The last captain, Mỹ Mỹ, was decided through randomization.
The process of team selecting are as follow (during the process, no "em xinh" may reject the captain's proposal). Each captain may "oppose" the captain's proposal once throughout the entire process (the "oppose" only counts if they successfully steal the "em xinh" from another captain):
- First round: each captain select an "em xinh" they want them to join their team. The order is based on the captain's rank from the last Livestage. If no other captain opposes the selection, they automatically join that team. If there are opposition, the selected "em xinh" would make the choice of which team they want to join. In the case of successfully opposition, the captain that were opposed would lose their turn and have to wait until every captain finished the process.
- Second round: six "em xinh" would be nominated through the process of randomization. The process are the same as the first round, except the captains can only choose from the nominated six.
- Third round: The process are the same as the first round, except the order of choosing are randomized.
The show then play the six demos for the third Livestage. For the third Livestage, six teams were divided into two armies, each army consisted of three teams. The songs for each army are predetermined by the show's producers. After that, the remaining cast would participate in games to gain points in order to gain priority in choosing the demo. Each team were given 1000 points to distribute them for each game. If the team win the game, they earn the points they betted on. If they lose, they earn nothing. Each team may place a "delusional star" (ngôi sao ảo vọng) on a game (which either add an additional 50% of the betting points on that game to their total points or deduct the same amount if lose).
The armies, teams and songs for this round are as follow (captain's name are highlighted in bold)
Army 1
- So Đậm (So deep): Phương Ly, Vũ Thảo My, Châu Bùi, Muộii
- I'll Be There: Orange, Han Sara, Phương Mỹ Chi, Lamoon
- Quả chín quá (Overriped fruit): 52Hz, Lâm Bảo Ngọc, Đào Tử A1J, Pháo
Army 2
- Lời thật lòng khi say (Honest words when drunk): Miu Lê, Bích Phương, Quỳnh Anh Shyn, Juky San
- Em không có ưa (I don't like): Tiên Tiên, Bảo Anh, Saabirose, Ánh Sáng AZA
- Not my fault: Mỹ Mỹ, Liu Grace, MaiQuinn, Lyhan
The Livestage 3 rules are as follow:
Each team have to participate in two rounds.
- Round 1 - Armies battle: The two armies will battle against the other. Prior to the performances, each army would determine the order of the teams, without knowing the order of the opposing army. The two teams that were determined to perform in the same order would battle against each other (e.g.: the first performing team of Army 1 would go against the first performing team of Army 2). Prior to each battle, each army would distribute 1000 points to all three of their songs (minimum points for each song is 200). If the team won the battle, they keep the points. If the team lose, they keep nothing. The winning army are the one with the higher points after all of the battles.
- Round 2 - Dance battle: Each team would participate in a dance battle against each other. For each round, the team would have a member to participate. In the first round, each nominated contestant would perform a 60-second number with the support from a maximum 4 backup dancers (could be the non-nominated team members). In round 2 and 3, each nominated contestant would perform in a given beat after the host's command. All of the performances result are based on the score given by a panel of five judges and the in-studio audiences. After every round, the team(s) with the lowest points would be eliminated (one in round 1 and two in round 2). Three remaining teams that competed in round 3 will have 100, 80 or 60 points added to their total points (equal to 25, 20 or 15 additional points for each member), based on their round 3 performance.
The team final total points are determined through the sum of each members individual votes and the dance battle bonus points. Two teams with the highest total points and in the winning army are considered the safe teams. Four "em xinh" with the lowest individual points from the rest of the "danger" teams were eliminated.
Concluding Livestage 3, army 2 with 600 points won over army 1 with 400 points. Two teams with the highest total points are Miu Lê's and Mỹ Mỹ's team, with all members in those two teams were safe from elimination. Four "em xinh" that were eliminated are Muộii (Phương Ly's team), Đào Tử A1J (52Hz's team), Han Sara (Orange's team) in Army 1 and Ánh Sáng AZA (Tiên Tiên's team) in Army 2.

Team captain
Winning team's vote/ Safe team's total score
Livestage 4
At the fourth performance round, 20 remaining "em xinh" was divided into four 5-members teams. Four "em xinh" with the highest individual points from the last round - Lyhan, Bích Phương, Lâm Bảo Ngọc, Phương Ly - were this round team captains. The rest 16 "em xinh" was divided into two groups (group A and group B). Group A are the "em xinh" with their individual scores being in the 5th to 12th place, and group B are the rest. Prior to the grouping, each "em xinh" would send two or one letter(s) to two (or one) "em xinh" they want to be in the same team with (group A can send out two letters, group B can send out one). Each "em xinh" will then pair up with another one in order to select their team. The process of selecting their partner is as follow:
Each "em xinh" would send out their invite for another "em xinh" to pair up with them (order of inviting are based on how many letters they received prior). The invited "em xinh" could accept or reject the request. If accepted, that two "em xinh" would successfully form a pair. Group A members can reject (or get rejected) once and don't have to face any consequences, while group B members would automatically go to the "upheaval" area if they reject the request or get rejected. The "em xinh"s that haven't formed a pair (hence being in the "upheaval" area) would select their partner based on their individual points from the last round.
After all eight pairs are formed, the team captains begin the process of forming teams. Each duo would walk into the team selecting area one-by-one. The captains would then decide if they want the duo in their team. In the case of only one captain wants the duo, the duo could join that team or rejecting the request and move to the "upheaval" area. The duo could either join a team or choose no team at all and move to the "upheaval" area. In the case no captains want the duo, they would automatically move to the "upheaval" area. After the process, the captains that haven't filled their team would select the remaining duo(s) to be on their team. The teams then compete in games to gain priority of choosing songs. Each team would select two songs to perform.
The teams and songs lineup are (pairs are labelled by - ):
- "Lắm lúc" (Most of the times) and "Tín hiệu yêu" (Love sign): Lyhan, Tiên Tiên - Miu Lê, Bảo Anh - MaiQuinn
- "Cách điệu" (Style) (later changed the title to "Cách (yêu đúng) điệu" (How (to love) properly)) and "Bắc thang lên hỏi ông trời" (Go up the ladder to ask the Sky): Bích Phương, Mỹ Mỹ - Quỳnh Anh Shyn, Juky San - Lamoon
- "Chẳng phải anh đâu" (Not you) and "Cứ đổ tại cơn mưa" (Blame it on the rain): Phương Ly, Orange - Châu Bùi, 52Hz - Vũ Thảo My
- "Bad liar" and "Duyên" (Fate): Lâm Bảo Ngọc, Liu Grace - Saabirose, Phương Mỹ Chi - Pháo
The fourth Livestage was conducted through the hotchair format. Each team would give two performances with all of the members - instead of dividing them to perform one song like the second Livestage - in two different hotchair round. After each performance, audience would vote for each individual "em xinh" in the team, with the performance score being the total individual score of the team members in that specific hotchair round. The first performing team then sit in the hotchair. Every team that performs afterward must have a higher performance score than the hotchair team in order to be the new owner of the hotchair. The team that still seating at the hotchair by the end of each round are the winning team of that round, earning 20 points for each member's final individual score. In the end, the total points of the team are the sum of points from both performances. In the case if a team win both rounds, that team would automatically be safe, meaning every of its members would be safe from elimination no matter what. The two teams with the lowest score would have to eliminate two pairs of members with the lowest individual score combined from 4 pairs (total of four "em xinh" would be eliminated in this way). Two more "em xinh" with the lowest individual score (not including the already eliminated four prior) would also be eliminated.
Concluding Livestage 4, Lyhan's team and Phương Ly's team are the teams that won round 1 and round 2 of the hotchairs. This would mean that there are no safe team in this round. Bích Phương's team and Lâm Bảo Ngọc's team are the bottom two teams, meaning both teams have to eliminate two pairs of their members that had the lowest individual score combined, being Quỳnh Anh Shyn - Mỹ Mỹ (Bích Phương's team) and Saabirose - Liu Grace (Lâm Bảo Ngọc's team). Two more lowest individual score "em xinh" from the rest of the cast that got eliminated are Vũ Thảo My (Phương Ly's team) and Juky San (Bích Phương's team). However, a special saving round was conducted to save one "em xinh" from getting eliminated. The team with the highest total score - being Lyhan's team - can rescue one out of six eliminated "em xinh" of this round to move on to the finale. They decided to save Saabirose from elimination. Then, a voting round was conducted to resurrect one "em xinh" to move on to the finale. The 15 finalist "em xinh" would vote for the 15 already eliminated "em xinh" to move on to the finale (including the "em xinh" that were eliminated prior). Juky San was the one that were resurrected through this process. In total, four "em xinh" were officially eliminated, being: Liu Grace (Lâm Bảo Ngọc's team), Quỳnh Anh Shyn, Mỹ Mỹ (Bích Phương's team) and Vũ Thảo My (Phương Ly's team).

Livestage 5
This is the final round of Em xinh "say hi". 16 finalist was divided into 4 four-members teams. The four em xinh with the highest individual scores - Phương Ly, Lyhan, 52Hz and Phương Mỹ Chi - were the captains. Each captain then create a slogan for themselves and a representative color. The rest of the cast then vote for 2 out of 4 captains based on the slogan and color, without knowing the captain's identity. The process of choosing teams were through the process of anonymous phone calling.
- First round of calling: Based on the voting for each captain, they may call for 3 "em xinh" from the "em xinh"s that they think voted for them, through identifying the number tied to a cast member - being their ranking from last performance round (the captains had no idea about the rest of the cast's rankings). If they recall the number correctly, they may call that "em xinh" (both of them were not told who exactly are on the other line). If they recall the number incorrectly or recall a number tied to an "em xinh" that either joined a team or go to the "Upheaval" area, they would lose the calling opportunity and move back to the end of the calling line until they successfully recall a correct number. The selected "em xinh" then decided if they want to join the team they got called or move to the "Upheaval" area.
- Second round of calling: Two remaining "em xinh" (those who haven't got called in the last round) with the highest rank and two with the lowest rank would call a captain they want to join, without knowing who they are calling (the only clue is the color the captains have chosen prior). They then persuade the captain to let them join the team. If successful, they join their team. If not, they move to the "Upheavel" area.
- Third round of calling: The captains now have the number/ranking of the rest of the cast. They then call an "em xinh" they want to have on their team. That "em xinh" may not reject the captain's request.
- "Upheaval" area's calling round: The remaining "em xinh" that are still in the "Upheaval" area would then call a captain they want to join, that captain may not reject the "em xinh"'s request (unless their team are full).
Every teams would participate in games to gain priority in selecting the demos. The teams and songs for this round are:
- Đầu mèo đuôi chuột (A cat's brain with a rat's tail): Phương Ly, Tiên Tiên, Miu Lê, MaiQuinn
- Hourglass: Lyhan, Châu Bùi, Juky San, Saabirose
- Tadida: 52Hz, Bích Phương, Bảo Anh, Lâm Bảo Ngọc
- Morse code: Phương Mỹ Chi, Orange, Pháo, Lamoon
