While members of the Best 5 group like HIEUTHUHAI, RHYDER or Quang Hung MasterD were active and their names were becoming more and more popular, Isaac was somewhat quieter.
Without a series of hits that made his name like Duc Phuc, Isaac in the Best 5 lineup is the "oldest brother" of Anh trai say hi, with the most experience in showbiz among the singers.
However, he is still a regrettable case. Many viewers think that Isaac deserves more fame and position, as he has many factors to become a big star, from appearance, talent to starting point.
Isaac's real name is Pham Luu Tuan Tai, born in 1988 in Can Tho. After graduating from high school, Isaac chose to major in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine at Can Tho University. After that, he switched to being a singer and was selected to join the group 365.
The boys quickly achieved success because they were well-trained in singing, dancing, and good-looking.
365 is also one of the few bands to have won the Dedication Award. The band has many popular songs such as "Where I Don't Belong", "Two Fairies", "Oh My Love", "Bong Bong Bang Bang"...
As the leader of 365, Isaac is also the most popular and famous member. He possesses a unique beauty with a high nose bridge, a beautiful body, and professionally trained singing and dancing skills.
After 5 years of activity, 365 disbanded in 2016. Up to now, Isaac has been working solo and has ventured into acting. He has appeared in the films "Song Lang", "Love Song Season" and "Monster Brother".
Isaac has many advertising contracts with big brands thanks to his handsome face and long-standing loyal fan base. The male singer also appears in many famous game shows.
However, Isaac's solo career has not really stood out. In Anh trai say hi, Isaac is only 1 year younger than MC Tran Thanh, but the gap in status, reputation and artistic "fortune" is huge.
Besides the highlight of his role in "Song Lang", Isaac still struggles to renew himself, to escape the "shadow" of a singing male god or "national leader". The disbandment of 365 also caused the group's fan community to separate, no longer gathering as large as before.
Therefore, when coming to Anh trai say hi, Isaac had many worries. It is clear to see the gap in Isaac's musical thinking compared to rising young stars like HIEUTHUHAI or RHYDER.
If the new-age music group emphasizes the role of those who know how to compose, produce music, and mix and match, Isaac leans towards performance, creating visual appeal.
Reaching the finals and being in the Best 5 group shows Isaac's efforts and perseverance throughout nearly 20 years of entertainment activities. After 10 years, the audience still sees a youthful Isaac, still the leader of a male group, still standing out among the young stars.
As MC Tran Thanh once encouraged Isaac: "To have such a handsome Isaac, to keep his appearance the same for so many years to act together without being different from his juniors is already difficult. To have this person who has lived so many years with his principles become innocent again, is not simple."
