Đình Bắc surpasses Sơn Tùng M-TP and Trấn Thành in a prestigious award

Forward Nguyễn Đình Bắc shows impressive influence as he outshines numerous prominent entertainment personalities to claim a top spot on a leaderboard.

Recently, BuzzMetrics released the list of the top 10 most influential figures on social media in December 2025. Notably, forward Nguyễn Đình Bắc ranked 5th, reflecting the significant attention fans have given him throughout his campaigns with Vietnam’s U23 team. This is considered a rare case, as a young footballer appearing on a ranking usually dominated by well-known entertainment celebrities.

Even more striking, the star born in 2004 surpassed many A-list Vietnamese showbiz names such as Sơn Tùng M-TP, Trấn Thành, CongB, B Ray, and Dương Domic. Meanwhile, the top positions were held by Lê Dương Bảo Lâm, Mỹ Tâm, Quang Hùng MasterD, and HIEUTHUHAI respectively.

The appeal of Đình Bắc mainly stems from his impressive form and outstanding performances throughout 2025, continuing into early 2026, which has greatly amplified his presence on social media platforms.

The year 2025 marked a breakthrough for Đình Bắc, as he rose to become one of the most prominent names in Vietnamese football. The forward from Nghệ An made a strong impact with the U23 Vietnam team, playing a key role in their impressive achievements including the U23 Southeast Asia Championship title, the gold medal at SEA Games 33, and third place at the 2026 U23 Asian Championship.

In Saudi Arabia, Đình Bắc exploded with 4 goals and 2 assists, surpassing many strong contenders to win the top scorer award. This was also the first time a Southeast Asian player achieved this feat in a continental U23 tournament.

Based on his performances, Đình Bắc was honored with the 2025 Vietnam Silver Ball award, ranking just behind his senior Nguyễn Hoàng Đức. Additionally, the CAHN player collected 6 individual awards in Asian competitions, demonstrating his influence on the continental stage.

Making it into the top 5 most influential figures on social media in December not only reflects statistical data but also indicates that Đình Bắc’s image is increasingly gaining attention. After the recent tournament, he has gradually established himself as one of the standout faces of U23 Vietnam, attracting strong fan interest across online platforms.
