Holding the opening role at GENfest presends MBillion, female singer Phung Khanh Linh made a strong impression from the first seconds with the image of a white-haired woman, a metaphor for an unreal girl, with a mysterious, mysterious and strangely attractive beauty.
The theme song "Between ten thousand people, I am in pain" is elaborately staged, combining light, dance and mature performance style, showing the confidence of an artist who has very clearly understood what story he is telling.
The female singer also leads the audience through many states, from narrative, weak with "Confession with a Lonely Night", "I'm a Bad Guy", where she hugs the guitar and whispers about the weakest moments, to explosive, liberating with "Khoc Bloc" with fierce Alternative Rock and Pop-punk colors. Emotional climax continues to be pushed up with "Wish I Break My Heart" - a song that is both angry and fragile, closing the chapter of vague but intense emotions.
The interesting point of the performance set is the unexpected transformation into the image of "CITOPIA Girl" being mischievous and cheerful with "Co gai say xin", "Nguu tam nguu ma tam ma", and finally "Hom nay toi buon" - a "hit" that has brought Phung Khanh Linh's name closer to the audience for the past 8 years.
Phung Khanh Linh's performance, the audience was also "blinded" by a secret - which is the appearance of singer Dong Nhi. The two female singers made the audience explode, shouting non-stop when harmonizing in two Tet songs, "Tet is okay" and "Tet we go home".
Singer Dong Nhi expressed her gratitude for her junior's invitation to become a special guest of the program. Meanwhile, Phung Khanh Linh expressed that Dong Nhi is a singer - songwriter she has idolized since childhood.
2025 can be considered one of the most important pivotal years in the career of female singer Phung Khanh Linh. Not noisy in the way of the mass market, the female singer - musician chose a sustainable path for herself, when investing long-term in her third studio album "Between ten thousand people", experimenting with music through a cross-Vietnam live band tour, and closing with convincing live performances at major stages.
If in previous years, Phung Khanh Linh was remembered as an Ondie-pop artist with her own color, then by 2025, she appears more clearly as a comprehensive author - performer, mastering both creative thinking, images and the ability to connect emotions with the audience.
Looking back at 2025, Phung Khanh Linh appears as a proud artist with her identity and honest with her emotions. She no longer desires to be "seen among ten thousand people" in the name of fame but chooses to dialogue with herself and invites the audience to accompany her on that journey.
After the successes achieved, Phung Khanh Linh has proven that she is entering a new stage of music - mature enough and experiential enough to write, brave enough to stand firm on a big stage and quiet enough to understand that the most important light comes from within herself.
Phung Khanh Linh was born in 1994, one of the prominent young singers/musicians of contemporary Vietnamese music, known for her ability to compose and tell stories with delicate and emotional music. She was once known to the audience when competing in "The Voice Vietnam 2015" and achieved success with the "hit" - Today I'm Sad (2018).
In 2020, Phung Khanh Linh became the artist who released the album "Yesteryear" - a product considered one of the best albums of the new era V-Pop. In 2022, the singer debuted "CITOPIA", considered by The Japan Times as the typical representative of the global City-Pop wave.
