A little bit of humiliation in the midst of danger
- Dam Vinh Hung officially returned after 9 months of "hibernation". Are the feelings and reactions of colleagues and audiences different from before?
I am completely assured and confident that my audience is still there. Those who love them will still love them and those who hate them will always be the same.
25 years of singing, there are fans who are young boys and girls who now have children and still accompany me. That love is not simply entertaining them with a few songs but more importantly, the way I treat them.
I believe that the audience, the fans, are definitely the ones who understand me very well, why Dam Vinh Hung does this and decides that.
Singer Dam Vinh Hung burst into tears the moment he returned to the stage.
- You compare yourself to a combination of a cactus and a phoenix. Many people will feel sorry for you, but there will definitely be opinions: Dam Vinh Hung is still not much different from before, what do you think?
I don't care! If anyone understands, thank you, otherwise just ignore it.
Cactus can withstand sun, wind and rain, it can survive and is "hard to die", but phoenix has the strongest ability to regenerate.
Who can stop others from dreaming? I still have the right to express my wishes. At least I hope to sing forever and live long with my mother and son.
From the day I entered this profession until now, through all the joys and sorrows, happiness and incidents, I have never cried, mourned or collapsed. I always wind my body to keep it active, to keep things as good as possible.
Tears can fall once or twice, but cannot fall forever to appear pitiful and weak. For me, it does not solve any problem.
- During the event, Meritorious Artist Thanh Loc commented that Dam Vinh Hung has matured, changing from his singing style to his music . How do you see your own maturity over time?
In the profession, Mr. Loc loves many younger brothers but it is very difficult to make him like us. Over the years, we have understood and respected each other.
I think it is more appropriate to call that maturity "maturity".
The incident made me mature, think about things differently. I live more slowly, not in a hurry and trust people easily. The carefulness to spell out clearly every little detail in every relationship, every corner of life's developments.

The singer experiences all kinds of emotions, deeply understanding life with many changes.
- How did you live during the days you were banned from performing?
A fish finds it difficult to survive when it leaves its familiar water source. It will try every way to adapt to its new source of life, and so do I.
I open a stage at home, sing by myself every night. I also have shows abroad or go into the studio. I only operate in limited areas.
A senior in the profession encouraged me: "It's okay, your singing voice is still very good, don't worry."
Luckily with music, I have never lost my passion. Everything is still on fire, singing and dancing as if it were the last time I step on stage.
- How do you find and overcome yourself?
I stood still, letting my inner self move and turn. I had the opportunity to witness and observe life.
In times of danger, what people did, how they helped, how they treated me, I saw it all clearly. I felt a little bit hurt, a little humiliated and a little "Okay, just wait" .
I've had incidents before and I've gotten through them, but this time it's really too much. It's so heavy that I think if a normal person couldn't handle it, they'd probably die.
A series of events, from accidents, postponed live shows, and then a ban on performing. Countless physical and mental injuries that only I can understand.
People often say “49 steps past - 53 steps back”, at the age of 53 I have had many terrible events. I consoled myself, telling myself that it was great to be alive.

Dam Vinh Hung and son.
- Feeling alone, knowing that you have to face everything alone must not be easy for you?
I just wanted it to pass quickly. The peace at that time was incredibly valuable. I chose many solutions, traveling everywhere so that I wouldn't have to meet anyone, to be at peace with my family, with small joys around me.
Every night, I took sleeping pills to fall asleep quickly. During the day, I devoted all my time to my son. Polo was my shield, my biggest shelter.
My son has magical powers. If I'm not busy, I want to spend time with him. When I'm with Polo, I don't have to think about anything, all the storms and rains are left behind.
Do nothing wrong so have no shame
- Have you ever thought that if Dam Vinh Hung were less thorny and rough, more gentle and mellow, maybe people would like him more?
I still choose to spread positive things. Every day I sing for the audience, organize charity events to help sick elderly people, orphans, and homeless children, or repair burned-down houses in remote provinces... I choose to do things quietly and limit sharing.
If I post frequently, some people will think I am “acting”, wanting to whitewash and make a scene. In the past, when I encountered a tragic situation, I called for help from many people. After many bad things, now I do what I can.
I believe that each person gets his or her own blessing. I face the sun, God and my conscience, and have done nothing wrong or shady, so I have no shame.
- Negative information about Dam Vinh Hung is still all over the internet. What is it like to "live with" it every day with a strong personality like you?
I was numb and didn’t care. I asked my team to try to find those accounts to see who they were. Some accounts only had a few dozen friends, with profile pictures of cats, dogs, and plants.
Social media is magical now. Sometimes one person sitting at home can control 500 phones, thousands of accounts and produce the content they want.
When the truth is deliberately distorted or deliberately attacked, why bother?
Life online and real life are very different. I went to the mall, many people from children to adults still came to ask for photos. I went to Ben Thanh and An Dong markets, the audience waved and greeted me.
Amidst the storm, my show still sold out in a short time. So who were those people who paid for tickets? When I got the answer, I was steadfast and did not allow myself to be afraid or confused.
- How do you take care of your health after the incident? As someone who loves beauty, when your body is no longer intact, does it easily cause Dam Vinh Hung to feel a sense of loss that is difficult to overcome?
I have learned to love myself more since having Polo. I wish I could live longer to accompany my child and take him to explore many places. At the end of my life, I hope to pass away peacefully, without being haunted by illness and causing suffering to my children and grandchildren.
Recently, I have been researching and using the best modern health services. I have been receiving stem cells, vitamins, or energy to rejuvenate my internal organs and prolong my life.
Regarding accidents, I think everything depends on fate. Maybe that day, that time, that event happened, causing each person to have a different choice, we have to obey.
I consider myself lucky to have the choice, like wearing makeup to cover up and normalize the way people see me when I appear.

The singer is "gentler" and less thorny after the ups and downs.
- What place does love have in your life right now?
Love is no longer important to me. I have never been easily hurt or broken in a relationship. If I fail or break up, I will get up immediately and move on.
Besides feelings, I need to see if the other person truly loves Polo. But it is very difficult to put anyone between me and my son, except for another Dam Vinh Hung. If there is, maybe it will be enough for me to trust and love wholeheartedly again.
- What words do you use to describe life now?
If I call it satisfied, it is not enough, sad, lonely or lacking is not enough. Let me use a short phrase to describe myself right now: "Relatively okay and need more happiness and money".
Many people think that if you keep wishing, you will suffer. I think differently. When you still wish, it means that each person must try and strive hard to achieve it. On the positive side, this is a good thing in life.
