Over the past time, Dong Hung has regularly appeared at art programs, political programs and large-scale grand ceremonies. The male singer attracted public attention when performing a series of works such as "Road to the Future", "Burning Fire on You" and especially the song "Continuing the Story of Peace" composed by musician Nguyen Van Chung.
Notably, the milestone of performing the song "Continuing the story of peace" by Dong Hung and Vo Ha Tram at the Great Celebration on April 30, 2025 (A05) in Ho Chi Minh City has created a strong spreading effect in cyberspace.
The performance was then widely shared, contributing to positioning Dong Hung's image as a typical representative of the young generation of artists continuing the revolutionary music genre, praising love for the homeland and country.
In 2025, musician Nguyen Van Chung once announced a series of statistics of "Continuing the story of peace".
Accordingly, the work achieved a total of more than 3.1 billion views on social networking platforms including TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook and Instagram. At the same time, the song recorded 8th place (original version) and 10th place (grand ceremony performance version by Vo Ha Tram and Dong Hung) in the Trending Music category on YouTube.
Sharing about his mentality when performing red music songs praising his homeland and country, Dong Hung said that he does not have a fixed work that moves him the most, because perspective and perception always change with each stage of experience.
According to the male singer, his biggest concern lies in the time gap between generations. If the previous generation sang to encourage each other to overcome difficulties in wartime, then today's generation performs those works in a context of peace and development.
The difference in context raises a big question for the performer. Dong Hung expressed: "Have I fully understood what I am singing? The longer I go with music, the more I feel I have to learn: learn history, learn from predecessors and learn to put myself in the mindset of the previous generation to preserve respect for the immortal heritage.
Recalling his stage experiences, the singer born in 1993 said that the most important factor is the reception and resonance of emotions from the listener. The moments when the audience harmonizes with each line of the song bring him great motivation in the profession.
Faced with the problem of re-performing traditional - revolutionary songs, Dong Hung clearly defines the principle between preservation and renewal: "My principle is that before wanting to refresh a work, I must know clearly what is absolutely not allowed to change.
With classic songs, the melody, lyrics and essence of the work are immutable. As for vocal processing, arrangements or harmony colors, each period has its own lens of approach," the male singer shared.
Through working with musicians, directors and screenwriters, he believes that the expression of personal style needs to be based on moderation - understanding the time to create highlights and the section to be restrained to convey the true spirit of the work, instead of abusing experimental and breakthrough variations.
Dong Hung (full name Nguyen Dong Hung), born in 1993 in Hung Yen. He once reached the top 3 of Sao Mai Rendezvous 2012 and top 4 of Vietnam Idol 2014.
Recently, participating in the program "Older Brothers Overcoming Thousands of Obstacles" along with continuous performance activities in the field of political and traditional songs has helped the male singer's name reach a large audience.
