Is there a member of the Vietnamese Four Kings streamer group quietly advancing their career with fewer social gatherings?
The 'Four Kings' streamer group in Vietnam is a glamorous title reserved for the most renowned quartet of gamers: Độ Mixi, ViruSs, Xemesis, and PewPew. These individuals lead the livestream industry, boasting illustrious and closely-knit careers. They've been the symbols of the Vietnamese streaming scene for over a decade.
However, over time, the camaraderie of the esteemed Four Kings streamer group has been questioned. The primary reason being a highly renowned member seemingly distancing themselves from the rest for an extended period. Is this true?
It's been a long time since fans saw the complete lineup of the Four Kings streamers.
The fame and reach of each member within the Four Kings streamer group are undeniable. Their social media posts garner tens or hundreds of thousands of interactions within a short time. Whether playing games or engaging in humor together, they consistently attract hundreds of thousands of online viewers. However, it's been quite a while since these celebrated streamers gathered in full force. Perhaps the most recent gathering was at the beginning of 2021, following Xemesis's lavish wedding, which caused a social media frenzy.
Perhaps this can be explained by the fact that the members are not geographically close, some residing in the North and others in the South, all caught up in their busy work and family lives, leaving little room for gatherings. However, keen observers may notice that there have been many occasions where some members were missing. For instance, during a recent trip to Ha Long, Độ Mixi, PewPew, and Xemesis were present, but ViruSs was notably absent.
Similarly on livestreams, while Độ Mixi's gaming sessions often feature Xemesis and occasionally PewPew joins, ViruSs is conspicuously absent.
Three are in business, but why is ViruSs missing?
Not only have the members of the Four Kings streamer group achieved remarkable success in their streaming careers, but they've also made strides in entrepreneurship. Recently, a rice dish eatery named Sà Bì Chưởng, opened by PewPew, Độ Mixi, and Xemesis, has garnered attention from both online communities and local diners. Moreover, this marks the first venture where these streamers have collaborated in business, further attracting interest.
However, ViruSs's decision not to engage in business ventures with his close friends has sparked curiosity. Later, Độ Mixi mentioned that ViruSs has his own business plans and that opening a rice dish eatery doesn't align with the direction of the renowned streamer and musician.
ViruSs once said: 'Work is work, friends are friends. For me, business must be profitable.'
After much speculation about not participating in Sà Bì Chưởng, those involved have spoken out. ViruSs himself candidly shared: 'Work is work, friends are friends. Currently, I'm managing multiple startups and companies of various sizes. For me, business must be profitable. As for your projects, ViruSs will always provide remote support if needed.'
ViruSs's remarks indicate that although he's not directly involved, he's still keeping tabs. It's worth mentioning that venturing into business collaboration is a sensitive issue, as it could potentially strain relationships. In business, profit is always a key factor, so it's understandable why ViruSs isn't pooling resources when other comrades collaborate. Currently, ViruSs has diversified into multiple investment fields and is quite successful.
Despite various breakup rumors, the Four Kings streamer group remains a special icon of the Vietnamese streaming community. Fans always hope to relive the special moments that made this group the most captivating and famous streamers, even though everyone is busy with their own projects.
Currently, ViruSs serves as the director of several renowned retail technology brands and actively engages in financial investments. Độ Mixi and Xemesis continue to entertain regularly, affirming their dedication to the profession for years to come. As for PewPew, he seems to be living a more low-key life than before.
Hope to one day see the 4 gentlemen of the Vietnamese gaming scene reunite and celebrate as they did in the past!
