Kieu Nga once said that the two of them "had done many shows together, got along well, and cared for each other." While Ngoc Lan was gentle, Kieu Nga was very assertive. Kieu Nga once joked with Ngoc Lan, "When you go to shows with me, don't be afraid, no one can bully you."

When the renowned singer Ngoc Lan passed away, Kieu Nga took a break from singing for a while. On the first anniversary of her friend's death, Kieu Nga went to her grave and prayed, "When my child turns 18, if I'm lucky, I'll return to the stage, Ngoc Lan." And indeed, Kieu Nga did return afterward.

Before falling ill, Kieu Nga was still performing and living a normal life. The renowned singer Kieu Nga had previously returned to Vietnam to organize the concert "Xin con goi ten nhau" (2012), celebrating 30 years of singing in 2015, and the concert "Chancens d'Amour - Timeless Love Songs " (2017) to express gratitude to her audience.
