Zhang Rui is one of the 28 artists participating in China's "Brothers Overcoming Obstacles 2026".
On the opening stage, Truong Due performed "Run towards me", a song associated with "New Hoan Chau Cach Cach". This choice rekindles memories of the role of Ngu A Ca Vinh Ky who brought his name to a large audience in 2011.
Truong Due received 755 votes, finishing last in the group of artists appearing in the first part and falling into the dangerous group.
Costume incident causes debate
Besides the performance, Truong Due also became the focus because of an unintended situation. The actor wore a white vest with light-catching details attached. In some shooting angles, strong lights shining from behind made the pants part create an almost see-through effect, revealing lines and an unusual dark area.
The image was quickly captured and spread on social networks with comments saying that the actor had a sensitive incident. However, from the broadcast images, it cannot be confirmed that he actually revealed body parts. This phenomenon may originate from the shadow of the fabric, the zipper of the pants or the light effect when projected through the white outfit.
Once wanted to leave the entertainment industry
Truong Due was born in 1987, his real name is Truong Hang Due, graduated from the Performing Arts Department of the Central Academy of Drama. He works as an actor, singer and MC.
In 2011, he was chosen by Quỳnh Dao to play Vĩnh Kỳ in "New Princess Pearl". The work created much controversy but achieved great interest, helping the young cast enter the film market.
It is known that Quỳnh Dao chose Trương Duệ because her appearance matched her imagination of Ngũ A Ca.
After the early success, Truong Due did not focus entirely on acting but released an album and organized music performances. In an interview in 2022, he admitted that this was a choice that disrupted his career. The period without new works airing caused him to quickly leave the top male actor group.
The actor said he once thought about changing careers if the role of Du Mac in "Tram ban huong phai" was not accepted by the audience. The interest in this character made him give up the idea of leaving the entertainment industry and continue to pursue acting.
I realize there are still people waiting for me and wanting to continue to see me," Truong Due once shared. He believes that actors must work seriously because the audience is usually more sober than the performers themselves.
In the following years, Truong Due continued to participate in film projects, including "Tien Dai Huu Thu" broadcast in 2025. He no longer continuously takes on the male lead role as in the early stages of his career but still maintains his job and seeks opportunities to return.
Secret love affair for many years
Regarding his private life, Truong Due publicly dated actress Ly Nhuoc Gia in June 2016. At that time, he posted photos of his girlfriend and confirmed the relationship on his personal page. Ly Nhuoc Gia also responded publicly.
The two chose to keep their love life secret, rarely appearing together at events. To date, Truong Due has not announced information about marriage or having children.
At the age of 39, Truong Due no longer maintains the heat of the "New Hoan Chau Cach Cach" era, but has not yet left the entertainment industry. Participating in "Brother Overcoming All Obstacles 2026" is an opportunity for him to return to the music stage and approach a new audience group.
