Recently, B Ray caused a stir on social platforms when he suddenly released a hint about his wedding. A number of Vpop stars such as Nguyễn Trần Trung Quân, Châu Đăng Khoa and Liêm Bỉnh Phát as well as some of his close friends shared his wedding invitation on their feed.
It seemed that Vietnamese showbiz would welcome a new couple, but it was actually a promotional gimmick to draw attention to his latest MV “Cưới Em”.

Besides, famous TikTokers also created attractive choreographies for this song pushing this song to greater heights. The MV’s content is a journey of B Ray going on blind dates. During this process, he meets many girls with various kinds of different personalities.
For instance, a girl only uses luxury brands. This girl presents for people who are just interested in wealth. He also meets a girl who just wears traditional Vietnamese dress ao dai. This girl presents people who are simple and virtuous. However, he does not fall in love with anyone. Finally, the girl’s appearance wearing a black dress touches his heart. B Ray falls in love at first sight and affirmed “Mom, I want to marry her”.

Currently, “Cưới Em” has received many positive reviews and support from the young generation and his colleagues.
^ that is something I noticed as well.
I think you might be onto something. Also, I think they just want to encourage couples to get married and start families. Many places in the world are not having as many kids nor getting married.
I’ve noticed that there’s been an increase in wedding songs trending in Vietnam recently. I think that more people are getting married sooner after the 6-month lockdown in Vietnam. The experience probably opened their eyes to how short life is.
Honestly I don’t really into his works but he did a good job
I saw some people making memes and jokes about this. A few fans were saying they felt like they were cat fished to a certain extent because of how he handled this. I don’t see a issue with it because it was part of a promotion.
If it works, it works! I can understand some fans being mad though if they were hoping to hear wedding bells in the future.
