AP soldier happy in love, explains the change in "Running Man"

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Known to audiences as the "ballad prince," Quan AP surprised everyone by participating in Running Man Vietnam 2025. Throughout the episodes, the male singer has become popular for his subtle humor.

Without being loud or trying to "throw jokes," Quân AP's shyness and honesty create a sense of closeness with the audience. His moments of embarrassment, shy laughter, or being "frozen" in the face of challenges are considered to have their own unique entertainment value.

Furthermore, Quân AP integrated well with the participating artists, having many interesting interactions with Trấn Thành, Anh Tú Atus, Ninh Dương Lan Ngọc, etc., creating moments that went viral on social media.

Speaking to a reporter from Dan Tri newspaper, Quan AP said he was quite surprised and happy to be called the "hidden comedic element" of Running Man Vietnam season 3.

"I wasn't intentionally trying to be funny or create jokes; I just participated in the program with a relaxed mindset, being myself and reacting naturally to the situations. Perhaps it was this authenticity, this slightly 'clueless' demeanor, and those unscripted moments that brought laughter to the audience," the singer shared.

Not only has Quân AP presented a fresh image to the audience, but his music has also undergone many changes recently. Recently, the male singer released the music video for "Fire Near Straw" - a song about the sweet, gentle love of a boy for a girl.

Having previously been associated with melancholic songs, Quân AP's new style has delighted many fans. Explaining this, the singer said: "I felt I needed to reinvent myself after a long period of sticking with a familiar image and musical style."

"As I gain more experience in both life and work, I feel I've matured, gained more inspiration to experiment with new musical genres, and built a suitable image to present a fresh image to the audience."

When asked if his music had changed because he was happy in his relationship, the singer laughed and said, "Being happy in a relationship is definitely a positive source of energy, but it's not the only factor that has determined the change in my music."

My current music reflects many different emotional states of life, not just sadness, but also peace, hope, and very human reflections. This change comes more from my inner growth and my more multifaceted perspective on life, rather than simply because I'm in love or happy in a relationship."

The music video "Fire Near Straw" was created in animation, featuring familiar images of Hanoi such as Ta Hien Street and Phan Dinh Phung High School. The male singer said that Hanoi is associated with many important milestones in his life and artistic journey.

"Those were the early days of pursuing music. For me, Hanoi is not only a place that holds memories of my youth but also a great source of inspiration; each season of the year can become material for my music and emotions," Quân AP shared.

This year, Quân AP has been consistently releasing music. Previously, he collaborated with Hải Đăng Doo on "Thiên mệnh" and with Pháp Kiều on "Falling with you"...

Recently, at the Male Icon Awards 2025, Quân AP was named Best Entertainment Artist of the Year, recognizing the singer's efforts over the past year.
