Right after Son Tung M-TP posted a photo of himself drinking iced tea on the sidewalk, the online community quickly found the shop he was sitting at, and many people rushed to experience it.
On November 27, social media was "stirred up" by a series of photos of singer Son Tung M-TP sitting alone at a sidewalk tea shop. These photos were spread across all platforms after he posted them.
The male singer wrote on his fanpage with 14 million followers: "I told you to meet my coma brothers (which can be understood as brothers, close friends) at the old place, I was sure my coma brothers would come out so I ordered 2 glasses of iced tea and waited. Who would have thought my coma brothers would put me in a coma, leaving me hanging". Son Tung M-TP also said angrily: "Let's go home".
In the photo, the famous singer wears a yellow wool hat, sitting on the "legendary green plastic chair" that Hanoi sidewalk tea shops often use, leaning against a slightly mottled wall. The sidewalk is airy, clean and quite empty, in one corner is a small stall with a few simple bottles and a stack of simple plastic chairs, typical of Hanoi iced tea. The space has little sunlight, so you can recognize the weather in Hanoi during the monsoon days.
Previously, in a show in Hanoi on the evening of November 24, Son Tung told the audience: "Hanoi is so beautiful this season, how about having a glass of iced tea sitting on the sidewalk in this weather? Tomorrow, who can go out and have iced tea on the sidewalk with Son Tung M-TP?". More than 10,000 spectators at the show thought Son Tung was just talking politely, so perhaps no one came to sit and drink tea with him. In fact, no one knew where Son Tung was meeting.
A series of photos of Son Tung M-TP drinking iced tea on the sidewalk in Hanoi spread "at the speed of a super storm", after only 3 hours of posting, there were 444 thousand likes, 33 thousand comments and 5 thousand shares. Fanpages, fan groups and music lovers all "joined in", creating a real fever. Many people expressed surprise and excitement: "Who said Son Tung doesn't know how to drink iced tea?"; "Son Tung M-TP drinking iced tea is hotter than when he released his new MV"; "Stars also have moments of chilling on the sidewalk"; "'Boss' said and did"...
Not long after the photo appeared, many young people found the exact address of the tea shop mentioned above. The shop is located in front of Chan Tien Pagoda, No. 151 Ba Trieu Street, Le Dai Hanh Ward, Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi.
Many fans quickly came here to take "virtual life" photos in the style of their "idols". They came not only to try the tea but also to "relive the moment when their idol sat there". People came to Son Tung M-TP's iced tea shop so crowded that the authorities had to intervene to avoid causing disorder.
Many fans who live far away and cannot go directly to the tea shop mentioned above, use Photoshop technology to combine photos of them drinking tea with their idols. These combined photos also spread rapidly on social networks because of their humor and creativity.
Currently, the keywords "Son Tung" and "iced tea" have not cooled down and continue to cause a fever. This event once again proves the special influence of the male singer in the entertainment life of young people.
