Three beautiful and talented singers from Hai Phong, one of whom is a Lieutenant Colonel.
Hai Phong - "The City of Red Flamboyant Flowers" - preserves many beautiful traditional art forms and is also the hometown of famous Vietnamese singers: Thu Phuong, Phuong Anh, and Pham Thu Ha.
Singer Thu PhuongHer full name is Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong, born in 1972 in Hai Phong. Not only Thu Phuong, but her older brother - singer Quang Minh - and younger sister - beauty queen Kim Oanh - also pursued careers in the arts.
With her outstanding talent, at the age of 14, Thu Phuong officially became a singer at the Youth Theatre while simultaneously studying at the Hanoi Conservatory of Music (now the Vietnam National Academy of Music).
Throughout her long career, she has made her mark with her distinctive contralto voice, which has become deeper and darker over time. Songs that are synonymous with Thu Phương include:Never before, Night Dreams of the City, Better to be a Falling Raindrop, Moon at My Feet, The River Flowing Carelessly...
In 1993, Thu Phuong married her first love, singer Huy MC, and they had two children together: Duy Hai (born in 1994) and Thanh Thao (born in 2000). After moving to the US to pursue their careers, the new life, along with pressures and differing viewpoints, caused their relationship to break down, eventually leading to their separation after nearly 14 years of marriage.
Later, Thu Phuong met and fell in love with manager Dung Taylor because of his caring and attentive nature. In 2012, Dung Taylor proposed to Thu Phuong, but it wasn't until 11 years later that they officially registered their marriage. They have two children together: Barry (born in 2009) and Hailey (born in 2012).
In 2023, at the age of 51, Thu Phuong still made a strong impression on young audiences on the show.The beautiful woman braves the wind and waves.Season 1. Currently, she works for a domestic entertainment company and frequently travels between Vietnam and the US to balance work and family life.

She has achieved many accomplishments, including: Gold Medal at the National Professional Student Singing Contest 2000; Second Prize at the Hai Phong Television Singing Contest 2001; Second Prize at the Hanoi Television Singing Contest 2002; Gold Medal in the All-Army Solo Singing Contest 2003; Gold Medal at the All-Army Professional Music and Dance Festival 2005; Gold Medal at the All-Army Professional Music and Dance Festival 2010, 2015, and 2019; and Silver Medal at the All-Army Professional Music and Dance Festival 2023.

Singer Pham Thu HaHer full name is Pham Thi Thu Ha, born in 1982 in Hai Phong, known by the nickname "Semi-Classical Nightingale" for her clear, skillful soprano voice.
