Huỳnh Lập, Jun Phạm, Mew Amazing, BB Trần, Hoàng Tôn, and Thơm from Da LAB delivered a standout performance of the song 'Trên đất mình,' inspired by the legend of Saint Gióng. This performance was enriched by a traditional ensemble that included instruments like the bamboo flute, đàn bầu, đàn tranh, đàn kìm, and guitar. The artists also incorporated a traditional martial arts segment called 'Roi Thái Sơn,' guided by martial artist Nguyễn Trần Duy Nhất.

Another highlight of the episode was the group performance of 'Tích tịch tình tang,' led by Hoàng Dũng, who performed alongside his mother.
