Hong Kong musical group VIVA is celebrating a major internal leadership transition and ascending international recognition, as member Carina was officially voted the group’s new leader. The announcement, which concluded the second season of their reality show, VIVA Medium Rare House S2, comes concurrently with Carina’s high-profile appearance in a pan-Asian advertising campaign for a global luxury brand, highlighting the young star’s rapidly expanding influence.
The final episode of the popular group reality series captured the emotional culmination of the group’s journey formed over the last 18 months. Beyond the candid farewell to their shared living arrangement, the central event was the confirmation of Carina as the new captain after a comprehensive, multi-layered selection process designed to ensure broad consensus.
Comprehensive Voting Seals Mandate
The decision to appoint Carina was the result of a diverse voting structure that weighed input from various stakeholders, validating the choice across fan appeal, industry perspective, and internal respect.
The breakdown of the official captaincy vote was structured as follows:
- Online Public Vote: 40%
- Company Staff/Management Vote: 40%
- Internal Member Vote: 20%
Carina dominated the contest, achieving the highest vote percentage in all three categories. Significantly, she secured a unanimous vote from her three fellow members (Ada, VALC, and Macy), solidifying her mandate. The moment the results were revealed, her bandmates reportedly erupted in cheers, confirming the collective enthusiasm for her leadership.
Upon accepting the role, Carina delivered an impassioned “Captain’s Declaration,” expressing deep gratitude for the support from online fans, her teammates, and the management company. She vowed to work diligently to guide VIVA toward greater achievements and expand their reach.
Strategic Vision and Future Plans
Anticipating their move out of their communal dormitory, which will naturally reduce daily cohabitation, Carina revealed a strategic plan to maintain group synergy. The new captain plans to institute one to two mandatory group practice sessions per week to ensure their performance chemistry remains sharp.
Further demonstrating a collaborative leadership style, Carina will delegate responsibilities to maximize the group’s diverse talents:
- VALC will take on the role of dance and choreography sub-captain.
- Macy will lead pre-performance vocal and warm-up training.
- Ada will continue her established role as “Household Chief Commander,” managing internal logistical affairs.
Carina also teased future content plans, hinting at a renewed third season of their reality series in a new location, targeted for release after the rollout of all their planned musical projects by 2026.
Family Bonds Endure Beyond Dorm Life
The final episode saw the four members reflect candidly on their time living together. VALC expressed how the mutual trust forged during the series was her greatest takeaway, while Ada emphasized that the experience truly helped them bond like a family. Carina, while cherishing the unique feeling of saying, “I’m heading back to the dorm tonight,” acknowledged the rare emotional connectivity they had found.
Macy offered a pragmatic yet reassuring perspective on the change in living arrangements. “There’s no need to feel sad,” she noted. “Even if we no longer share a dorm, we will always be together when we work.”
As Carina’s profile surges—evidenced by her internationally syndicated fashion advertisement showcasing her renowned figure—her new leadership role within VIVA signals a significant new chapter for the popular Hong Kong girl group, positioning them for continued growth both regionally and potentially, globally. Their capacity to transition leadership smoothly while maintaining high production quality and member morale will be crucial to their sustained success.
