(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Duy Tham is a technology reviewer with millions of followers on social media. He gained attention when he met with Apple CEO Tim Cook in Hanoi .
On the morning of April 15th, Apple CEO Tim Cook was in Hanoi for activities aimed at strengthening the company's commitment to Vietnam. While there, he met with several Vietnamese content creators and programmers. Among these activities, the Apple boss took a stroll around Ho Giam Lake and chatted with YouTuber Duy Tham, much to the delight of many tech enthusiasts. On his personal X account, Tim Cook shared a photo with Duy Tham and expressed his joy at spending time with the Vietnamese reviewer. He also praised the beauty of Hoan Kiem Lake. Duy Tham quickly updated his status after meeting the Apple CEO in person: "A dreamlike morning, being welcomed and chatting with Tim Cook, and strolling around Hoan Kiem Lake with him. Eight years ago, I filmed my first video , and even in the most distant future, I never thought this day would come. Tim Cook said he really liked the atmosphere and people of Vietnam, and that I look even more handsome in person than in videos." Duy Tham (real name Ngo Duc Duy, born in 1995 in Vinh Phuc province ) currently lives in Hanoi. After more than 7 years working as a technology reviewer, he owns a YouTube channel with nearly 2.1 million followers, a Facebook page with 1 million followers, and a TikTok account attracting 7.5 million followers. He is a prominent content creator for an information, entertainment, and technology channel aimed at young people. Duy Tham once said that during his student years, he was passionate about technology but lacked the means to access it. He happened to see an agency recruiting freelance contributors to report on technology, so he applied and worked part-time to earn money to cover his living expenses, while also having the opportunity to experience the products he liked. After nearly a year, Duy Tham gradually transitioned from news translator to reviewer. After graduating with a degree in English from the Diplomatic Academy, Duy Tham continued to pursue his passion for being a reviewer. Initially, he faced many difficulties in front of the camera. His first videos received many negative comments criticizing his voice, unclear pronunciation, and trembling. It took the young man from Vinh Phuc almost a year to become as fluent as he is now. Audiences gradually accepted his unique style. Despite owning social media channels with a large following, Duy Tham revealed that he is inherently an introvert and not very talkative. He had to work very hard to excel in a job that requires extroversion and meeting many people. To this day, Duy Tham still admits that he is very different in real life and in his videos. Thanks to his success in reviewing technology products and collaborating with brands, Duy Tham achieved his goals after many years of hard work. He bought his first house at the age of 24-25. About a year later, the young man born in 1995 bought his first car, making his parents proud. The reviewer with millions of views also said that the name Duy Thẩm was chosen randomly but has become his brand. He is loved for his humorous, down-to-earth, and approachable style of sharing, even when reviewing expensive products. Besides technology, Duy Thẩm also wants to expand and conquer other areas such as travel experiences and vehicles… In September 2022, Duy Tham married Khanh Quynh after 5 years of dating. The popular TikToker said that they started their lives together when they had nothing. On his personal page, he frequently shares sweet moments and words for his wife, which earns him admiration from his followers. Currently, Duy Tham enjoys a successful life with his partner. Besides being able to buy expensive tech gadgets to review, he also travels extensively around the world, including the US, Japan, Singapore, and Europe.
