Both growing up in the upper class and having parents who are long-time friends in the entertainment industry, Ly Yen (daughter of singer Vuong Phi) and Tieu Tu Nguyet (daughter of actress Trieu Vy) have quite similar starting points. However, after many years of maturity, the two girls have stepped on completely different paths.
In 2013, the image of Tieu Tu Nguyet, only 3 years old, sitting in Vuong Phi's lap once made many people excited. At that time, Vuong Phi and Trieu Vy had known each other for more than 10 years and had a very close relationship.
Vuong Phi herself introduced Huynh Huu Long to Trieu Vy, from then on, the friendship between the two also became a close relationship between the two families.
Ly Yen and Tieu Tu Nguyet have many similarities: both were born into wealthy families, their parents were long-time friends and studied at international schools in Switzerland. Both also went through the event of parental divorce. However, a similar starting point leads to very different life experiences.
The difference in the growing up process of the two girls largely comes from the circumstances and challenges they have experienced.
Ly Yen suffered from congenital cleft lip and palate deformities from a young age. When she was only 3 months old, she went to the US to undergo her first surgery. Ly A Bang once said: "God gave me this scar, I will turn it into my pride". The open education of the family became the foundation to help Ly Yen learn to accept herself.
This year Ly Yen is 20 years old, she does not rely on her parents' fame but gradually creates an impression with her private life. In March 2025, Ly Yen organized the painting exhibition "Children of Light" in London, England. 42 works were sold, raising 180,000 British pounds for the Yen Nhien Angel Charity fund founded by her parents.
Currently, she studies at Goldsmiths University under the University of London, does not sign contracts with entertainment companies and does not actively appear on television programs or livestreams. At the Aranya Xiami music festival at the end of August, Ly Yen appeared quite discreetly to cheer for her older sister Dau Tinh Dong.
Meanwhile, Tieu Tu Nguyet (born in 2010) has been noticed by the media since childhood because she is the daughter of Trieu Vy and businessman Huynh Huu Long.
But in recent years, Tieu Tu Nguyet's life has been affected by family turmoil. After Trieu Vy's works were removed from many platforms in 2021, the actress's private life has continuously become the focus of discussion.
Information that Trieu Vy and Huynh Huu Long had completed divorce procedures was also confirmed later, while financial disputes related to Huynh Huu Long continued to appear.
Ly Yen and Tieu Tu Nguyet are therefore going on two different paths. One proactively builds an independent life and participates in art and charity activities; the other grew up in a period when her family and mother's reputation were constantly fluctuating.
The period 2021-2024 is also the period when Tieu Tu Nguyet enters puberty, a psychologically sensitive age. Her parents' silent divorce and subsequent decline caused her to live under prolonged family and public pressure.
