Who is the Vietnamese singer who caused a storm on Thai social media and received huge gifts from fans?

Recently, when singer Quang Hung MasterD performed in Da Lat, fans from Thailand suddenly came on stage and gave him a bouquet of cash, which surprised and confused the male singer. After that, he humorously asked: "You haven't even finished singing yet and you already have a salary?"

The audience also continued to give him a "huge" necklace made of cash. He kept saying: "Too much pressure". Previously, in 2021, Thai fans also made Quang Hung MasterD "very shocked and thought he was dreaming" when they spent more than half a billion VND to celebrate their idol's birthday.

"I thank Mr. Hou Ming Hao and Ms. Ju Jing Yi for loving "Easy Come, Easy Go"

The song "Easy Come, Easy Go" suddenly became popular in some Asian countries, and was covered by international stars such as Hou Minghao and Ju Jingyi. How do you feel about this unexpected success?

- This is truly a great honor for Hung. Hung did not think that this song of his would be covered by an international artist. I must say "thank you" to Mr. Hau Minh Hao, Ms. Cuc Tinh Y and the public very much for loving "Easy Come, Easy Go". As soon as I heard this news, I had emotions that are difficult to describe in words.

Do you remember the moment you received this good news?

- I still remember that day, I was drinking milk tea when I was startled to see my phone continuously receiving comments from foreign accounts. I was confused about what was happening.

I had to run home to calm down and keep an eye on things. It was a milestone I will never forget in my life.

Frankly speaking, many people label Quang Hung MasterD as "national stepchild, international darling", do you feel sad?

- At first, Hung was also sad, because I am also the child of my parents. But now I hear it a lot and I am used to it. Because my name has not spread widely, there are people in the domestic audience who do not know me.

I hope that the music and the name "Quang Hung MasterD" will soon be more widely accepted so that this comparison will no longer exist.

Overwhelmed by the generosity of Thai fans

What does this unexpected success bring you?

- I received a lot of love and care from everyone, had more opportunities and motivation to try harder.

Honestly, at first, after 2 months of releasing the song "Easy to Come, Easy to Go" without leaving a good impression, I thought, maybe I would have to return to my hometown, give up my singing career, it would be difficult to stay in Ho Chi Minh City if I kept doing it forever without developing.

It is known that Thai fans spent more than half a billion VND on your birthday, and recently, Thai audiences even flew to Vietnam, went on stage to give you money bracelets and money flowers. Are you overwhelmed by these things?

- It was the first time in my life that I had such a special birthday. The audience's affection at the recent concert was the same, it all made me very surprised and also overwhelmed and pressured.

Has the "unannounced" popularity in the foreign music market brought you any trouble?

- Not at the moment. I am also aware that success comes with fame. So I just hope to be more famous so I can fly high and far with my dream.

What do you think are the subjective and objective reasons why your name has not created a big impact domestically? Is it because the competition in the domestic market is too fierce, and you need tricks to become famous quickly?

- Partly because Hung doesn't have a management company, my team and I do everything together. Hung also doesn't have a strong media presence. The cost to cover everything is also a pressure for me.

So I decided to go a little slower, it's understandable that there's no strong brand effect. But we'll keep trying with everything we have.

My music style may not be suitable for the domestic audience, so it cannot retain people. The current market has many good and bright music names. In the future, I will try harder to increase my coverage.

"I used to beg to act, I was depressed and thought I had to go back to my hometown and give up my dream"

How has your salary changed since the song "Easy to Come, Easy to Go" became a phenomenon in some countries like Thailand and China?

- The truth is that before "Easy Come, Easy Go" became popular, Hung didn't have any shows, and even had to ask to perform without taking any fees. So after having a show, Hung was very happy and the fees were at the starting level so that Hung would have many opportunities to perform and meet the audience.

It can be said that you have had a life-changing experience after a difficult time. Besides music, do you have any other side jobs?

- Besides pursuing his passion for music, Hung currently has no other side job.

Like the song title "Easy Come, Easy Go", are you afraid that fame will come to you quickly but will not last long without a follow-up hit?

- That's something that Hung thinks every artist would be very afraid of. Hung is also under pressure so he spends a lot of time making music and learning more.

Regarding plans, I hope everyone will wait for Hung ahead. I'm just afraid that I'll say too much and not get through.

On the road to professional music, have you ever encountered any incidents and what does music mean to you?

- Hung has encountered many changes in his life, such as falling into depression, the bankruptcy of the old management company which left me uncertain, with no reinvestment costs, the consequences of the Covid-19 epidemic affecting Hung and his family,... There are things that just remembering them makes me feel... haunted.

Music is my passion, my dream, my ambition, and the important reason for living in my life. Thanks to music, I have wonderful fans. I have been diligent and loyal to music since I was a child. Music and I have been and will be together on a long journey.

Who is your favorite singer and what kind of artist do you want to be in the future?

- Hung admires many "seniors", such as Phan Manh Quynh, Son Tung M-TP, Urboy TJ, F.Hero,...

The image I aim for is an artist who has a great love for music and the stage. I always remind myself to try to be an inspiring artist and fans will never feel that their choice and love are the wrong person.

I will study, develop, upgrade myself, and become a more and more perfect Quang Hung MasterD.
