With over 20 years of artistic activities, singer Nguyen Phi Hung has not only made a name for himself with a series of hits, but also left a deep impression on the audience with quality roles.
In the first days of the new year 2025, taking on the role of "holding the scales of justice" in "Shining Stars", Nguyen Phi Hung recalls old memories as another Lunar New Year season is about to come.
The owner of the song "Desperate Rain" confided: "For 24 years, I have not had a complete Tet holiday with my family. I usually celebrate Tet on the 6th day of Tet because on New Year's Eve and the main day of Tet, I devote my mind to the audience.
Tet for the past 24 years has not been the same because each year I celebrate Tet in a different region, so it feels special. However, I am always excited and emotional every time I perform Tet when I see tens of thousands of people stepping out into the streets with enthusiasm. Tet for the community is one of the biggest wishes of artists, so my family is very understanding and sympathetic."
Because he dedicates the entire Tet holiday to the audience, for Nguyen Phi Hung, the days after Tet are truly the time for him to reunite with his family.
The male singer humorously revealed that he can celebrate Tet until the end of January to be able to reunite with his family. During Tet, the male singer often goes to wish New Year's greetings, goes to pagodas with his parents, welcomes relatives and friends from far away or visits his favorite places with his family.
One of the most memorable memories of Tet that Nguyen Phi Hung will always remember is the time his family almost disowned him because he was too busy to contact his parents.
He said: “One Tet season, on the 30th of Tet, my family had not heard from me, everyone was very worried, they couldn't call me, waiting was so tiring that they blamed me, got angry and asked acquaintances to text, when I called, they said it was from me.
When I received that news, I was shocked, knowing that Tet was important to my parents but I had neglected and forgotten, but because of the pressure of work responsibilities, I could not excuse anyone, I just worked silently. When I realized that the important moment was approaching, I tried to fly home - right on the 30th of Tet".
Returning home, singer Nguyen Phi Hung thought he would hear criticism, but when he entered the house, he was hugged by his father, who moved him to tears. That moment made the male singer choke up.
