Yen Dan in the present

Yen Dan has been attracting attention in recent days due to rumors of her dating musician Nguyen Van Chung. The rumors arose when a video clip of the two holding hands intimately went viral on social media. However, Nguyen Van Chung has denied the dating rumors, stating that they are only colleagues.

Yen Dan co-starred with Nguyen Van Chung in the film "Borrowed Shells". In the film, the beautiful actress plays An, the wife of the male lead. She disappears after an accident at sea. Later, another girl appears, claiming to be An, resurrected and her soul possessing this body. This mysterious event leads to a series of surprising plot twists.

Yen Dan's character doesn't have much screen time, "disappearing" for most of the story. At the climax, the character reappears, bringing the film's biggest plot twist. Yen Dan leaves a lasting impression with her bright appearance and pretty face that easily captivates those around her.

However, the performance of the actress born in 1997 was disappointing. In many scenes, Yen Dan was criticized for her lack of emotion in her dialogue. Furthermore, she revealed limitations in her expressive acting. The actress failed to show a range of emotions; her eyes were sometimes empty and lacked a narrative.

The flaws in Yan Dan's acting are clearly revealed in close-up shots, where the camera closely follows every expression on her face. The actress's performance is immature, failing to convey the pain and inner turmoil of a wife on the verge of a broken marriage, having discovered her husband's infidelity.

Prior to "The Hermit Crab ," Yen Dan had experience participating in several television projects. In 2024, she appeared in "Walking Under the Brilliant Sky" as Nhu, a feisty and spoiled girl. In early 2025, the actress continued to attract attention with her role as Tuong Van in " Going to the Sunny Land. " She played a wealthy young woman determined to leave her parents' embrace and build her own career.

Through two film projects, Yen Dan has only recently made an impression on television viewers thanks to her pretty appearance, attractive face, and radiant smile. The actress still delivers relatively solid performances in roles that suit her and aren't psychologically demanding. However, to advance further in her acting career, Yen Dan probably needs to seriously hone her skills and take on more substantial roles.

Yen Dan was born in 1997 in Dak Lak and graduated from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City). The beauty queen previously pursued dance and worked as a KOL (Key Opinion Leader) before trying her hand at acting. Her personal social media account currently has nearly 300,000 followers.
