VietNamNet reporters visited musician Nguyen Van Chung's house - an apartment on the 22nd floor of a top luxury apartment building in Thanh My Tay ward, Ho Chi Minh City. He introduced to reporters one of his little-known personal hobbies: collecting models. Filling four shelves are about 40 Gundam, Voltron and other mecha models. Nguyen Van Chung has been interested in playing with robots since 2012. Although they look small and cute, each model costs from several hundred thousand to less than 10 million VND.
"Sometimes, if I really like it, I buy it because it's a waste of money. My little trick is to put it in my shopping cart and if I come back a month later and still like it, I'll buy it," he shared.
Currently, despite his better income, Nguyen Van Chung still does not feel comfortable spending money on personal interests. Having experienced hardship and debt, he is used to a frugal and thrifty lifestyle.
Many colleagues know Nguyen Van Chung's hobby so they often buy models as gifts. The classic Voltron Lion Force version (left photo) was given by musician Chau Dang Khoa and the modern version (right photo) was a gift from singer Pham Viet Thanh of the group UnlimitedD.
Musician Nguyen Van Chung also collects comics with many famous works such as: Doraemon, Pokémon, Solo Leveling, Demon Slayer, Hepburn: Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?, Yugi Oh!, Gintama...
He said he reads comics to learn meaningful lessons and messages. For example, in the work "I Level Up Alone", the musician appreciates the journey from zero to overcome adversity, rising to face fate with determination, effort and the spirit of never giving up.
On the shelves also display many other items, decorations, models...
In his bedroom, musician Nguyen Van Chung has a separate corner for his other hobby: video games. The drawers are filled with famous game titles such as: Black Myth: Wukong, Elden Ring, Final Fantasy parts...
The PlayStation 5, which cost about 13 - 16 million VND, was left lying around in the bedroom for many months while Nguyen Van Chung focused on the A50 and A80 events. Because of his love for "Final Fantasy", the 8X musician also collected 2 artbooks from the "Ultimania Archive" series, whose content revolves around illustrations, character designs and detailed information about parts of the game.
In contrast to Nguyen Van Chung, his son - Hieu Long does not like models, reading comics or playing offline games. He likes playing with legos, watching "Doraemon" cartoons and playing online games like "Lien lien mobile".
Father and son often watch movies together and play claw machines. Besides his hobbies at home, Nguyen Van Chung also loves playing soccer and traveling .

Why has musician Nguyen Van Chung with billion views chosen to be a single father for so many years? Musician Nguyen Van Chung with billion views does not want to bring a new person into his children's lives, because that could create unwanted psychological disturbances.
