The "Brave Warriors" show, launched on 23/7 in Ho Chi Minh City, features rappers Binz and Mono, singer Phan Manh Quynh, director Neko Le, singer Quoc Thien, actors Kieu Minh Tuan, Le Duong Bao Lam, Tien Luat, and model Hung Nguyen portraying Vietnamese police officers in simulated scenarios. The show, which premiered on 27/7, aims to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the People's Police Founding Day (19/8/1945-19/8/2025) and the 20th anniversary of the National Security Protection Day (19/8/2005-19/8/2025).
Mono recounted his most memorable experience during fire and rescue training: being unable to breathe due to the heat and smoke. He had to leave the scene and discovered that the oxygen switch on his helmet had been accidentally turned off.
Due to scheduling conflicts, Binz couldn't train with the firefighting team but participated in mobile police combat scenarios. "These experiences deepened my appreciation for those who safeguard our nation day and night," he said.

Lieutenant Colonel Le Tan Chau, Deputy Head of the Ho Chi Minh City Fire and Rescue Police Department, served as a content advisor for the show. He admitted to feeling some pressure, saying, "Initially, I was unsure how to make the program resonate with the celebrities and help them understand the hardships faced by police officers. I sought a balance between professional accuracy and the artists' learning capacity during training."
Mai Tham, the show's director, explained that the production team adapted real-life data from the police force into training exercises and simulations. "Brave Warriors" was produced by the Political Department in collaboration with another unit, under the direction of the Ministry of Public Security. Its goal is to showcase the image of Vietnamese police officers and inspire the younger generation.
