Soobin is ambitious and proud, what's wrong with that?

Soobin once said that 15 years ago, his mother yelled at him, 'Go to school,' but he was determined to become a singer. Now he has the recognition of both his parents and thousands of audiences.

At that time, Soobin's mother wanted him to learn piano and become a musician. But because of family events, he decided to sing and join the underground scene.

Seven years ago, the singer, who at that time still had the stage name Soobin Hoang Son, once said that there were times when his mother and he would lie down and cry, hugging each other, after his mother said "nothing but water" but could not change his mind.

The boy of yore is now ambitious and proud.

During the All-Rounder concert, Soobin cried again, but not for the same reason. On the big screen was a video of his parents telling him how proud they were. Even though he was grown up, in their eyes, he was still little Soobin, and "every time I look at you, I just want to hold you in my arms."

To his father, he is still the same boy as before, only as tall as a monochord, playing the instrument with an innocent face.

That boy has now become an "ambitious and proud" singer in the eyes of many, and in the eyes of his fans as well.

Because the concert name is All-Rounder, the ticket categories are named The Soul, The Vocal, The Visual, The Dance, The Lyric, The Melody, The Flow, The Hit, The Harmony.

Those names are like a tacit affirmation: Soobin has it all. From soul, voice, appearance, choreography, lyrics, melody, flow, hit, harmony.

Or if you don't have it all, you're aiming for it. Not everyone dares to aim for it. A singer implicitly declaring that is already ambitious.

In a culture that still heavily relies on the notion that "One job done is better than nine jobs", Soobin aspires to become an all-round artist. Being all-round is not just about knowing how to do many things, but also about being good and excellent in every field and aspect.

In particular, the moment Soobin wore a costume inspired by the four-panel dress and danced with a fan in the performance Sitting on the boat's side ( Bac Ninh folk song) was associated by some netizens with J-Hope, the talented main dancer of the group BTS when he danced the opening performance of Idol at the 2018 MMA music awards ceremony.

The comparison is lame, the two performances are not the same, but the common inspiration is that the artists honor their country's culture and have versatile performing abilities.

Before that, in Vietnamese showbiz, there was still no artist who was recognized as "all-rounder". Normally, those who could sing, rap, compose and play some musical instruments were very good, but very few people could be good at everything.

And it wasn't until the All-Rounder concert that Soobin revealed his ambition. He named his fandom Kingdom - the audience already knew who the king was. When Soobin performed, he often associated himself with the concept of kings and princes.

He calls his fans "princess". A rather... Disney vibe, but also undeniably powerful.

An all-powerful and unique Soobin of Vietnamese showbiz

Currently, thanks to the popularity of Anh trai tran ngan cong gai in 2024, Soobin is also a singer with a top salary in the market, only behind a few singers who are secretly recognized by the performance market as "S-class stars" (My Tam, Ha Anh Tuan, Son Tung M-TP, Den Vau...).

The All-Rounder Concert was commented as "too expensive" with sound and lighting effects, technology and performances at the top of Vietnamese music, everyone was afraid that Soobin and his crew would lose a lot. But many people half-joked, half-seriously: "If Soobin works hard on the show, he will get it back."

After this concert, with the great achievement of reaching a new height in the live performance ability of Vietnamese artists - whether Soobin will become an "S-class star" or not is a question of interest.

Soobin's success with the All-Rounder concert shows that artists should be ambitious and proud once they can prove themselves with their abilities in front of thousands of audiences, not just through statements and hype through the media.
