If Pho was the goofy, playful one, then Thao's image in the clips was that of a 'banh beo' with her characteristic sweet and soft voice. These two seemingly different personalities blended seamlessly, creating a series of challenge videos that garnered millions of views. In 2015, just as their careers were skyrocketing, the duo decided to halt the 'Pho Eating Enthusiasts' series, leaving many fans disappointed.
Up to now, Ngoc Thao is a beautiful and wealthy actress, owning a fashion business and venturing into real estate. Pho Special is also very successful in business, serving as the CEO of an entertainment company and nurturing other young talents. Although they don't appear together as often as before, Pho Special and Ngoc Thao remain each other's confidants, earning admiration from their fans.
Vlogger Brotherhood: Huy Me - JVevermind - Toan Shinoda - Lam Viet Anh
Alongside Pho Special, forming a formidable YouTuber 'empire' in the North, we must mention the close-knit vlogger brotherhood: Huy Me - JVevermind - Toan Shinoda and Lam Viet Anh. Most of these friends were either international students or attended prestigious specialized schools. Therefore, they were eager to explore and quickly adapt to new, modern trends like Vlogging.
From independent content creators, this group of friends unexpectedly gathered in Hanoi and collaborated to create famous videos. Not only on social media but also in real life, they were very close, 'partying and dancing' together everywhere, wholeheartedly supporting each other in all projects.
However, this is also the friend group that left the audience with the most regret as one of its members, Toan Shinoda, passed away at the age of 27.
Currently, the once 20, 22-year-old international students have all stepped into their 30s with mature, poised appearances. Among the group, only Huy Me remains actively involved in the arts, appearing frequently in the media. In 2020, JVevermind briefly returned to YouTube as a director but then also 'disappeared'. As for Lam Viet Anh, the most secretive member, he's settled abroad.
Beautiful Boys and Gorgeous Girls Club: BB&BG
BB&BG is one of the leading comedy groups in Saigon. The group attracts a large young audience not only for their interesting scripts and charming performances but also for the handsome and beautiful appearance of its members such as Kim Nha, BB Tran, Lam A Han,...
However, as they gained more fame, they couldn't avoid regrets, disappointments, and silences in their lives, as well as tensions among members. The climax came in 2017 when the group's leader BB Tran decided to go solo, marking the end of the group. Currently, besides the former leader and a few members still pursuing professional acting careers, most other members have chosen their own paths.
Although it's been 5 years since they stopped working together, BB&BG's parody videos are still occasionally mentioned by fans. The remaining members still occasionally meet and even troll each other on social media. However, some have disappeared without a trace, hardly anyone remembers them anymore.
BB Tran, the group's leader, can be considered the most successful with his acting career. He has established his name, charm, and talent in the comedy industry. Thanks to his wit and humor, BB Tran is often invited to participate in game shows, TV series, singer's MVs, and is increasingly loved by many.
Similar to BB Tran, Kim Nha is currently pursuing an acting career. She has appeared in many famous films and is highly regarded by the showbiz community. Besides her career, Kim Nha enjoys a happy life with her Thai husband. Previously, the beauty born in 1987 went through a marriage breakdown.
With equally beautiful looks, Lam A Han (born in 1994) is also one of the hot girls of the BB&BG group. However, her love life has been quite challenging. Currently, Lam A Han has two children. Although she doesn't engage in artistic activities regularly, the life of the once hot girl still receives a lot of attention from the audience.
FAP TV Group
Appearing later on YouTube, FAP TV is no less successful than its predecessors in terms of view counts. After many years of operation, they still prove their abilities with many dedicated projects. The original 4 members of the group are: Huynh Phuong, Thai Vu, Vinh Rau, and Ribi Sachi. Over time, the number of actors has increased, but the audience is still most impressed with these 4 main characters.
In 2019, FAP TV together achieved a milestone by receiving the first diamond play button officially awarded by YouTube in Vietnam. From 10 million subscribers, their channel has now reached 13.3 million followers. They still maintain regular video production every week, although the 'explosiveness' and impact are not as strong as before.
In addition to their impressive videos, FAP TV also garners affection from many due to their real-life friendship. The trio of Thai Vu - Vinh Rau - Huynh Phuong always stick together. It's because of this that their friendship remains strong and admired by many.
