The event marked an important milestone in the nearly decade-long love journey of the golden couple of Vietnamese showbiz. Bang Di and Justin Chiem have overcome many storms together, from breakup rumors to the challenges of geographical distance and busy careers.

The love journey of Bang Di and Justin Chiem - a Vietnamese businessman living in the US - began in 2016 through a mutual friend. At that time, Bang Di was at the peak of her career with a series of impressive villain roles . She once shared that Justin was the one who brought peace in the stressful showbiz world, always sincere and supporting her unconditionally.

In early 2017, after more than a year of secret dating, the couple decided to go public. The first intimate photos received enthusiastic support. Justin, the owner of an international business company, often flies back to Vietnam to be with his girlfriend. Geographical distance does not become a barrier but helps them cherish every moment more.

2021 marks 5 years together with a romantic anniversary in Ho Chi Minh City. Bang Di shared a series of happy photos with emotional captions about 5 years, not long but enough to know that Justin is indispensable. The Covid-19 pandemic postponed the wedding plans but Justin's patience helped the couple overcome the difficult period.

On social media, Bang Di often "disgraces" her adorable boyfriend, from Justin's clumsiness in the kitchen to his "ridiculous" but memorable trips . The couple often shares everyday moments, from walking around Saigon to traveling to Europe.

The year 2024 was full of turmoil with rumors of a breakup after 8 years of love. Sources said that distance and busy schedules caused the relationship to crack. However, Bang Di quickly dispelled the suspicions with a clip of her having fun with Justin. The 8th anniversary in November 2024 further affirmed the vitality of this love with a romantic dinner and surprise gift.

Bang Di once admitted that she was afraid of marriage. In 2018, she shared that although she was expecting her boyfriend to propose, marriage was a big deal that needed careful preparation. The fear stemmed from stories surrounding an unfulfilled marriage, combined with a rising career. Justin Chiem, with his perseverance and understanding, gradually changed her mind.

Bang Di just got a new role in the movie project "Golden Cube" of her grandmother which is about to be officially released, so the news of accepting the proposal on the evening of October 14th made the audience eagerly wait for the wedding news as well as making the movie attract attention.
