The artists’ first meal after arriving on Trường Sa island is one of the scenes in episode 13 of Sao nhập ngũ 2026, Tuổi Trẻ reported. The programme shows participants eating with soldiers and hearing an account of food supplies on the island.
A meal and an account of supplies
The meal shown included pineapple sour soup, boiled vegetables, fried tofu and canned meat and fish, according to the newspaper. The participants ate with soldiers after a long journey to their new setting.
Thúy Ngân expressed sympathy, while Châu Bùi said she found it difficult to imagine eating that way for several days. A soldier told the group that supplies do not always reach a distant island in time, so canned food is kept in reserve for cooking.
These details describe the meal filmed for the programme and the account given by a person in the episode. The newspaper also quoted reactions from some social-media users; their comments do not establish a year-round diet across every island.
First activities after arrival
Tuổi Trẻ said the artists, taking the role of new recruits, were assigned to Combat Group 2 of Brigade 146. They learned about their accommodation, personal equipment and routines. The group laid flowers and incense at the island’s memorial before a shared gathering.
During that gathering, Châu Bùi said her father had served as a commando and had hoped to visit Trường Sa. She described the trip as meaningful because she could fulfil a wish he had not been able to realise. Minh Trang said her own wish to visit came from her grandfather’s wartime stories.
Thúy Ngân called the visit a beautiful experience, while Erik said he wanted to learn about and share images of the islands. The newspaper reported that the group later learned about a marker, recited a pledge and sang for the soldiers.
