When you think of YouTubers, who comes to mind first? Probably a handful of familiar names like Cris Phan, ViruSs, Giang Ơi, 1977 Vlog, Bà Tân Vlog, Khoa Pug… These creators have earned their spots in viewers’ hearts and on the YouTube map.
But in the digital age, content creation moves faster than ever. New trends pop up every few days, and fresh young faces jump in, quickly competing with the veterans. This constant influx keeps the YouTube community youthful and diverse.
Just how young are these new stars? Many top YouTubers now are only 13 to 15 years old. Each newcomer brings a unique style, content focus, and experience level. What they share is their growing influence, with the potential to shake up the YouTube world.
Jenny Huỳnh
At 15 years old, Jenny Huỳnh is one of the most promising young YouTubers right now. Her channel and Instagram have nearly 600,000 subscribers after just one year, which is impressive for someone not in the entertainment industry!
Jenny’s videos aren’t overly flashy or complicated. They revolve around the everyday life of a 15-year-old: school, hanging out, grabbing snacks after class, and trips to the US with her brother. This relatable vibe helps many of her videos hit millions of views, with the top video “16 Hours on a Plane” reaching 4.8 million views.
Jenny’s appeal also comes from curiosity about her life as an international school student with a home in the US, living the dynamic city girl lifestyle. Plus, her natural, straightforward way of talking and cute face make her videos easy to watch.
Việt Thiên Thư Channel
Starting at just 9 years old, while other kids were reading comics or playing games, Thiên Thư was already making YouTube videos. Four years later, she has 524,000 subscribers and 84 million total views.
Her content is simple, sharing life as a 13-year-old with school, friends, and teen thoughts. Thiên Thư comes across as confident and lively, showing moments like taking a GoViet ride to school, grabbing Starbucks breakfast, or shopping at Vincom’s H&M, Zara, and Vans. It’s clear her family is well-off.
What stands out is her mature way of speaking for her age. When asked about haters, she said she used to feel sad but now just finds it normal, even funny.
Besides her own channel, Thiên Thư and her sister Anh Thư run another channel with 1.42 million subscribers. Despite her young age, she’s definitely a rising force on social media.
Sâu Tivi
In contrast to Jenny and Thiên Thư, Thuỳ Trang, aka Sâu from Sâu Tivi, is a genuine countryside girl. At 18, her constant companion is a fluffy white duck named Bim Bim.
Sâu’s videos focus on food, especially Southern Vietnamese dishes like eating coconut fruit, making sour starfruit salad, or cooling off with toddy palm juice. She also jumps on food trends like garlic butter bread, even when ingredients are scarce.
After a year and a half on YouTube, Sâu has 23 million total views, including several videos with over a million views. Her success comes from her down-to-earth, natural style and her warm, rural Southern accent.
Meo Xinh
Another early starter is Lê Gia Linh, known as Meo Xinh. Her channel launched in November 2015 when she was just 9 years old. Though she doesn’t update often now, Meo Xinh has racked up 16.4 million views.
Her videos are simple, showing daily life like TikTok clips with her brother, giveaways, trying on new clothes, and weekend outings. Her most viewed video, “Going to a Wedding,” has 1.3 million views.
Meo Xinh’s charm lies in her sweet, gentle look and natural way of talking, plus glimpses of her luxurious lifestyle. She’s mentioned shopping for designer goods, including a Louis Vuitton bag worth 64 million VND gifted by her parents.
Vie Land
Compared to the others, Trang Vy’s channel Vie Land is still new with just over 33,000 subscribers. But she’s a huge potential star, earning 1.6 million views across 21 videos in just 4 months.
Trang Vy shares daily life through Q&A videos, snack and makeup reviews, and topics popular with her age group like cooking, learning to play instruments, and daily routines.
Her style is straightforward and to the point, with videos usually 5 to 6 minutes long, sometimes up to 18 minutes. The videos are simply filmed and edited with a fun, lighthearted vibe perfect for her generation.
