Phan Dinh Tung today

Recently, Phan Dinh Tung publicly revealed that he is involved in a dispute with several individuals and organizations regarding the song " Khuc hat mung sinh nhat" (Birthday Song) and five albums: Hat Nhan, Tung Chung, Tung Thuan, Tung Phong , and Tung Teen . The dispute concerns copyright ownership, commercial exploitation rights, and revenue sharing on international digital music platforms.

Phan Dinh Tung stated that during the resolution process, some intellectual property rights were restored, but no final conclusion has been reached yet. He has repeatedly engaged in goodwill discussions with the parties involved, hoping to find a fair and legal solution. Currently, the related revenue is being temporarily withheld pending a ruling from the competent authority.

"In the event that outstanding issues continue to be unresolved, we will take the necessary legal steps in accordance with the law to protect our legitimate rights and interests at the competent authorities," the singer's side stated.

Recently, Phan Dinh Tung released the MV "Happy New Year," a collaboration with rapper GDucky, hoping to create a song with lasting appeal similar to "Birthday Song ." The arrangement incorporates a symphony orchestra, emphasizing grandeur and exhilaration. However, the music itself has been criticized for lacking appeal and originality; GDucky's rap part also doesn't blend well with the overall theme. After nearly three months, the MV has only garnered around 250,000 views, failing to achieve the positive impact initially hoped for.

In mid-2025, Phan Dinh Tung was hospitalized for emergency treatment due to headaches, dizziness, and bleeding from the ear, requiring surgery to repair a perforated eardrum in his left ear, a procedure lasting approximately 3 hours. After the surgery, the singer rested and monitored his condition at home, taking about 1.5 months to fully recover. Regarding the cause of the perforated eardrum, Phan Dinh Tung explained: “When I went swimming, I used earplugs to protect against water. But that day, I inserted them too deeply and tightly. When I took them out, I carelessly pulled too hard, causing high pressure that ruptured my eardrum.”

At the end of 2025, Phan Dinh Tung was hospitalized again just before his solo show, due to exhaustion after a busy schedule. The singer said he decided to keep it a secret to reassure his fans, only revealing it after the show ended. This was his second hospitalization that year, causing fans to worry about his health.

Over the years, Phan Dinh Tung's career has experienced many ups and downs. Although still remembered for his familiar hit songs, the male singer no longer maintains the same level of popularity as before. However, participating in "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Thorns" helped him regain audience attention and provided him with more motivation to release new products. After the show, Phan Dinh Tung has been noted for being more active in his artistic endeavors.
