The Masked Singer Wiki

Bố Gấu (Translated as Papa Bear) is a masked celebrity contestant on the second Vietnamese season of The Masked Singer Vietnam.

Appearance[]

Bố Gấu is a typical Giant Panda who has the image of a father figure, wearing a black and white checkered shirt and blue pants that attached with suspenders. The mask itself is a Panda head with brown eyes and a cap that has a smiley face on the front of it.

Costume 2: After the Round 2, his costume has been changed completely, making him looks like a gentleman. He wears a sequined suit which includes a dark red vest, a ruby necklace, a black suit jacket, suit trousers and Oxford shoes. Besides that, he also wears a top hat and a rainbow pocket square in his suit pocket.

Costume 3: After the Round 4, his costume has been changed completely one more time. Instead of wearing a gentleman-like suit as in the previous round, he wears a traditional Vietnamese outfit: the green Áo bà ba – a traditional southern Vietnamese garment features button-down silk shirt with bamboo tree patterns, the Khăn rằn – a traditional checkered black and white scarf worn in the region of Mekong Delta in Vietnam, and silk pants along with shoes and gloves that resembles bear paws. Last but not least, at the top of his mask, he wears a Nón lá – a type of Vietnamese headwear and a typical symbol of the Vietnamese people.

Costume 4: After the Round 5, he goes back to wear the costume in the Round 3 and Round 4, with slightly different details: His suit jacket and his top hat are now having the dark red color just like his vest, a small panda plush in his suit pocket, an accompanying bamboo branch shaped wings can be found at the back of his costume and teardrops that attached to both sides of his cheeks, as those are ornament stickers.

Costume 5 (Episode 15): Updating.

Trivia[]

  • Hoàng Hải was the Winner of Sao Mai Điểm Hẹn - Morning Star Rendezvous (2006) and the Runner-up of Tuyệt Đỉnh Tranh Tài - The Ultimate Entertainer (2014). As one of the rarely strong and high-pitch male voices in Vietnam, along with the ageless handsomeness, gentle demeanor, elegant communication, Hoàng Hải has truly charmed the audience. He naturally became the cover face for art and school magazines, ran shows non-stop all over the country, was named the Prince of Vpop as well as the first crush of the 1990-2000 generation. After 10 years of "hibernation" to stabilize his emotions and balance himself, Hoàng Hải is extremely happy that the audience always miss him, love him and recognize him right from the first high notes. With the audience's waiting and welcoming, Hoàng Hải promises to make them relive their beautiful youth with his upcoming love songs.
  • Even though he has the appearance of a panda (gấu trúc), the show and everyone just call him a bear (gấu). That may be due to the similarity of these two nouns in Vietnamese, so people abbreviately speak them for more convenience.
  • Hoàng Hải's voice type is Lyric Tenor.
  • Bố Gấu's combat song in Episode 12, "Tìm", was originally sung by Văn Mai Hương - the guest panelist in Season 2, Episode 7 and Trúc Nhân - the guest panelist in Season 1.
  • During the show, Bố Gấu got to perfom a new song which appeared for the first time, as the producer of the show has commissioned it from Vietnamese musicians, for more specific details about a new song which was:
    • "Có Nỗi Buồn Ghé Qua", composed by Nguyễn Minh Cường in Episode 14.
