This is one of the most prestigious television awards in Asia. This is the first time in the 60-year history of the tournament that a Vietnamese artist has won this noble title - a proud milestone for Vietnamese cinema on the international map.
The Kim Chung Award is to honor individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the television industry. Lien Binh Phat received the award for his role as Dr. Pham Van Ninh in the movie The Outlaw Doctor. His character is a young Vietnamese doctor working abroad, facing inner conflicts between professional ideals and harsh realities in other countries. His sophisticated acting style, restrained expressions and ability to express psychological depth have helped Lien Binh Phat conquer the professional council and the audience.


Speaking at the awards ceremony, the actor emotionally shared: I consider this an award for my long journey and that of those who have trusted and accompanied me. But above all, I feel more clearly the responsibility of a Vietnamese artist to bring the story and Vietnamese spirit to the world. He also said that he will donate a portion of the bonus to the labor support fund for immigrants in Taiwan (China), as a way of gratitude and sharing with those who are trying to make a living in a foreign land.
After winning the Golden Bell Awards, Lien Binh Phat continued to affirm his position in Vietnamese cinema with two new projects: "Quan Ky Nam" collaborating with director Leon Le in a work set in Saigon in the 1980s, and " there is a money trap" - a psychological film about high-tech fraud and crime. Both roles show his strong transformation in his journey to discover new limits of acting.
Winning the 2025 Golden Rooster Awards is not only Lien Binh Phat's personal pride but also an important mark for Vietnamese artists on the international stage, demonstrating the talent, bravery and spirit of reaching the level of Vietnamese cinema.
