Chi Pu is one of the sisters participating in Dap Gio 2023 - a key show of Mango TV. This is the 4th season of the famous show Ty Ty Dap Gio Rot Song . In the first episode, Chi Pu performed the song Doa Hoa Hong. In particular, her continuous skirt-ripping scene surprised and was praised. Accompanying and taking on the role of stylist on this journey with Chi Pu, Hoang Ku was also the one who came up with the idea for the skirt-ripping scene.
Make dreams come true
Hoang Ku said that as soon as he accepted the role of stylist, he thought Chi Pu needed to perform the song Doa Hoa Hong. Therefore, he tried to convince Chi Pu and her crew to choose this song. After many days of hesitation, the singer of Anh Oi O Lai decided to choose the song to perform.
“I imagined that one day Chi would stand on stage and sing the song with the rose shape like the lyrics. That was an image that the crew had missed for the past few years and I thought it needed to be shown on a special stage. With Dap Gio 2023, this day has become a reality,” Hoang Ku shared.
The stylist said Chi Pu's team wanted to have a costume transformation right on stage. Hoang Ku stayed at home for 3 days, barely sleeping, to watch all 3 previous seasons of the show and at the same time refer to many other impressive performances around the world to come up with creative ideas.
5 days before flying to China to film, Hoang Ku listened to the first draft of the music. At the very first moment, Hoang Ku imagined what the whole performance would be like and picked up the phone to call Chi Pu to describe it. Chi Pu was very excited at that time and immediately went to meet the stylist to discuss and finalize the idea that night.
The message behind the outfit
“I always try to tell a story with each outfit. With this outfit, I want to say that every woman is a flower, beautiful, fragrant in her own way, and lives a brilliant life. And Chi Pu has transformed into a beautiful red rose, with a strong will and spirit, standing on the big international stage to shine,” he said.
Hoang Ku sent the idea to designer Nguyen Tien Truyen to realize the dress with the shape of a bright red rose. In addition, the design includes green boots with shiny stones and studded details like thorns on a rose stem. The design team added a very large red skirt to hide the skirt inside to create an impressive costume transformation on stage.

100 hours of non-stop work
According to Hoang Ku, to get the dress Chi Pu wore when performing Rose and the idea of tearing the dress, designer Nguyen Tien Truyen spent more than 100 hours working continuously, without stopping to meet the schedule. Hoang Ku also had 48 hours of sleep before the first flight to Hunan (China) to make adjustments and get the perfect outfit.
Even when he brought it to Hunan and before the broadcast day, Hoang Ku stayed up all night to personally sew and adjust Chi Pu's performance costume for the last time.
Hoang Ku confided that this was the most memorable moment in his career as a stylist so far. “I burst into tears and had to stay up all night for 48 hours, working without sleep to fix the completely wrongly designed dress and officially finished it 2 hours before the flight. That was also the moment I feared the most and never wanted to think about it again,” he added.
The most perfect version
With this trip abroad, Hoang Ku wants Chi Pu to become the most perfect version, a beautiful, sharp image with trendy designs, integrating internationally, but not dissolving. The designs are completely labeled "made in Vietnam".
“I hope international audiences will love this Vietnamese girl's fashion style, thereby learning about it and contributing to making Vietnamese fashion more widely known,” Hoang Ku expressed.

All costumes were brought from Vietnam. When asked how the designs were both suitable for the program's criteria and highlighted Chi Pu's personal color, Hoang Ku replied that the crew had many different filming activities: stage performances, interview filming, promotional photography, brand filming... Even rehearsals, dance practice, vocal training, eating and sleeping were all recorded.
Therefore, in addition to the costumes for group performances prepared by the program to ensure uniformity for the whole team, for all other activities, contestants wear their own personal costumes. Through that, they can express their personality and personal style to the audience.
All of Chi Pu's costumes were brought from Vietnam. In rare cases, the crew had to buy them in Hunan or ask the program for support.
For the group performance, the production team gave 3-4 different options for the contestants to choose from. At this time, Hoang Ku's job was to restyle the costumes to achieve the best visual effect for Chi Pu and the whole team.
Bring 400 kg of luggage to China
The questions for each round were not revealed in advance. The crew did not know what the next round would be like in order to prepare their costumes. That is why Chi Pu's costume luggage was so huge. Because Hoang Ku wanted Chi Pu's image this time to be associated with brands from Vietnam, he prepared a lot of extra.
“The program is very professional in always preparing costumes for the sisters. However, the costumes do not always match the personalities, styles and body shapes of the sisters. Therefore, in addition to the required costumes and team uniforms for some scenes, the sisters are free to wear personal costumes under the strict censorship of the program,” he said.
For each flight, Chi Pu's own luggage has never been less than 100 kg. Up to now, the crew has traveled 4 times with a total luggage of more than 400 kg. The number of costumes prepared for the first trip alone was more than 50 sets. The following trips have never been less than 30 sets.

Language barrier
Hoang Ku confided that his Chinese was below the level of normal communication, while the program had more specialized words. Therefore, he could only help Chi Pu with basic sentences.
“The most difficult problem is still the language barrier. Because the program’s interpreter is not always around, it takes us more time to understand the crew’s intentions when working together. In addition, the time for makeup, changing clothes, and adjusting costumes is always very limited. Even when there are times when there are costume incidents, we still have to continue filming to ensure the schedule. Therefore, we are always highly focused and the work pressure is very high,” Hoang Ku said.
Chi Pu never gets discouraged
Despite language barriers and being a foreign artist, Chi Pu, according to Hoang Ku, has never been discouraged. The same goes for her crew members. Hoang Ku added that the program's crew always supports the artists and crew. Thanks to that, despite language barriers, the whole crew always maintains a good mood, is enthusiastic, and works at full capacity to achieve the best results.
Hoang Ku was impressed because Dap Gio 2023 has a strong crew, is organized on a large scale and is very principled. No matter how famous an artist is, they do not have any special privileges over other contestants. He added that the Dap Gio production crew is almost never more than 10 minutes late.
