On the afternoon of November 16, Son Tung M-TP "caused a stir" when he posted a series of photos of himself jogging at Hoan Kiem Lake (Hoan Kiem Ward, Hanoi ). Just a few minutes after sharing, the post received tens of thousands of likes and comments from fans.

In the new series of photos, the singer of Run Now wears sportswear with a tight body shirt showing off her toned body, along with a sweat towel, sunglasses and hat, creating a dynamic and trendy overall look.

Along with the photo set, Son Tung wrote a humorous caption: “Many people up to now are still wondering why Mr. Tung promised to go jogging around Hoan Kiem Lake but never showed up? Here, here. I wanted to hide this memory but people kept digging it up. Do you know how cold it was to jog alone around the lake that day?”

The witty storytelling delighted fans, especially after months of waiting to see the male singer keep his promise to jog around the lake. This promise originated from a show in Hanoi at the end of September, when Son Tung invited fans to "go on a jogging date around Hoan Kiem Lake". Although the time of the photo shoot did not coincide with the original date, the male singer posting the photo set today is seen as confirmation that he kept his promise to his fans.

Son Tung's check-in location has long been a "trendsetter" among fans and young people. Before Hoan Kiem Lake, the male singer invited fans to have coffee at Notre Dame Cathedral, strolled around Ben Thanh Market, visited the Zoo or suddenly took a cyclo around West Lake, and sat drinking iced tea on the sidewalk at the end of 2024. Every time he appeared, that location immediately became a sought-after check-in coordinate.

Hoan Kiem Lake, where Son Tung chose as his "running track", is the heart of Hanoi, a symbolic destination associated with Turtle Tower, Ngoc Son Temple, The Huc Bridge...

Not only is it a familiar walking place for the people of the capital, the lake is also an important tourist "gateway", attracting millions of domestic and foreign visitors. This has also been a stopover for many famous people: US President Barack Obama once stopped by to walk around the neighborhood and enjoy bun cha; billionaires Bill Gates, Brad Pitt - Angelina Jolie, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau... also chose Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter as tourist attractions when coming to Vietnam.

Many international artists such as Westlife, Charlie Puth or famous travel KOLs from Korea and Thailand have also recorded and shared about Hoan Kiem Lake on social media. Recently, G-Dragon's parents also took the opportunity to walk around the lake during the singer's tour in Hanoi in early November.
