Born in 1990, Dam Tung Van gradually built her own position in the entertainment industry with acting ability, instead of relying on tricks or external support.
Amidst a Chinese showbiz that favors sharp beauty with a personality V-line face, Dam Tung Van has a lovely, round and innocent look. Therefore, she was once commented on as "lacking female lead quality". At one point, the actress was rejected by more than 100 film crews because her appearance was considered too simple, her body was small and not outstanding enough.
The Chinese entertainment industry has long favored the V-line aesthetic trend, considering it a "perfect" beauty standard. A slim face, pointed chin, straight high nose bridge and big eyes are considered ideal models, helping the overall face become elegant and almost "no dead angles" when appearing in front of the camera.
This standard is also considered to have a certain influence on the artist's career, because a sharp V-line face helps them stand out more on screen, easily impressing audiences and producers.
To achieve this appearance, many aesthetic methods have become popular in the entertainment industry, from injecting fillers or chin augmentation to lengthen the chin without much impact on the bone structure, to deeper interventions such as jaw reduction to slim the facial bone structure.
In addition, some people also choose braces or jawbone orthopedics to improve facial features towards V-line. In C-biz, many beauties are often mentioned as typical models of this trend, including Pham Bang Bang with her characteristic pointed chin, or Luu Vu Han and many other models and singers.
Meanwhile, Dam Tung Van has a chubby face, younger than her real age, and a petite figure, seemingly going against the aesthetic standards of the Chinese entertainment industry. However, with her passion for acting and a systematic training foundation at the Beijing Film Academy, the actress still persistently pursues her own artistic path.
Instead of trying to build a "great beauty" image according to popular standards, she prioritizes choosing roles that suit her abilities and personality, thereby gradually creating an impression and affirming her position in the entertainment industry.
Possessing a chubby face and a radiant smile, she is especially suitable for school movies. The turning point of her career came when she participated in "The Best of Us", a youth work that helped her rise to the rank of A-list star.
After that, the actress continued to make her mark through many hit movies such as "Summer of the Foxes", "Cam y chi ha", "In the Name of Family", "Cam tam thua ngoc", "Xin goi toi la tổng giám", "Huong gio ma di" and "Quy lo". Notably, the movies "In the Name of Family", "Quy lo" and "Em dep than ca anh sao" once led the annual ratings of Hunan Television.
According to Sina, the Chinese entertainment industry is not short of beauties who stand out in beauty such as Gulnazar, Juxingyi, Dilireba, Angelababy, Li Yitong or Li Qin. However, many names still make audiences hesitant when hearing about new projects.
On the contrary, Dam Tung Van, although not possessing a sharp beauty according to standards, still conquered viewers thanks to her natural acting and suitable role choices, thereby gradually rising to the group of young actresses after 1990 with outstanding television drama achievements.
