NÂN – daughter of saxophonist Hồng Kiên, also brought experiments in the album XT – TX. The female artist shared that this is an abbreviation for the two words “bad character – bad character”, meaning that each person often has many complex, contradictory emotions. With heavy industrial material and experimental collaboration with young producers Merlie, Hallowed, Maiki, Huhy and Flowerflow, this album has many combinations in terms of genre and sound, bringing different experiences.

Also riding on the success of his personal live show 1589 in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Trung Quan introduced his debut album titled Nguoi dang yeu .

However, the project still stops at the familiar material of "Butterfly of the Moon" without any progress or attracting special attention.
