In a behind-the-scenes video of the program "Anh Trai Vuot Ngan Chong Gai", singer Thom (a member of Da LAB group) made the audience laugh when recounting the origin of the group's extremely humorous fandom name: Fan Thue.
Everything started when the group completed the performance night and prepared to take a flight back. When sitting down to discuss with each other, the members came up with a unique idea: if any fan (fan) comes to the airport to pick up the group when they return, Da LAB will transfer money to give each person 200,000 VND as a souvenir.
Despite participating in the discussion, Thom did not travel on the same flight that day. When landing at the airport, the remaining members flexibly prepared a stack of cash with a face value of 200,000 VND in their hands, just waiting for fans to appear to distribute immediately for convenience.
But a difficult situation occurred: no audience member came to pick them up. The group had to sadly carry their stacks of money and go home. From that unforgettable memory, the fandom name "Fan Thuê" of Da LAB was officially born.
Sharing more about the reason why the group has a habit of giving money to the audience, Thom said that everything started very accidentally when the group went to perform at university. That day, a student below had already raised a QR code (fast transfer code) on his phone towards the stage. Seeing that scene, the group found it interesting and transferred money immediately on the spot.
Talent" Thom humorously said that if this activity was for all fans, the group would have "escaped debt" a long time ago. Therefore, Da LAB only chose to scan random QR codes to create surprise and bring joy to fans.
To this day, this habit is still maintained. Occasionally during performances, members still scan random QR codes of viewers. In fact, there have been lucky fans who received 200,000 VND transferred directly from the group, making the fan community extremely excited.
Before living fully with his passion for music for nearly 20 years, Quach Van Thom (born in 1989, real name Vo Viet Phuong) used to be a reporter for the legal - social field.
Always maintaining a quiet lifestyle and rarely going on shows, his appearance at "Older Brothers Overcoming Thousands of Obstacles" 2026 brought a new breeze: graceful, humorous and full of enthusiasm. Solid professional foundation combined with the image of a model husband and father has made Quach Van Thom one of the most "hot" faces this season.
As soon as episode 1 aired, the name Quach Van Thom created a small "seismic" on search platforms. Google Trends data recorded a sudden explosion of related keywords such as "JGKiD" or "Quach Van Thom Da LAB".
The public began to "search" for his whereabouts through questions such as "Who is Quach Van Thom?", "What year was born?", "What's his real name?". On Google's measurement tool, these phrases simultaneously hit the "Breakout" mark - a term specifically for keywords with a sudden increase in search traffic of over 5,000% compared to the previous time.
That record amount of interaction is proof that the audience wants to understand the whole journey that Quach Van Thom has gone through.
