Dam Vinh Hung shares about his son: 'I'm happy if my son is more famous than me'

- How do you feel when Polo is nominated for Hot Kid and is receiving a very high number of votes at 'Star of the Year 2022'?

- When I found out my child was nominated for the Hot Kid category at the awardsStar of the Year 2022, I was very happy and surprised. From then on, I checked my child's voting results more than ten times every day. My fatherly instincts rose strongly and I kept posting statuses and sharing links so that everyone could vote for my child.

- What do you think if you were nicknamed 'the crazy dad who is addicted to showing off his kids'?

- It's hard to explain specifically, it's the feeling of loving someone without understanding why. For me, children are the greatest happiness in life. It's true and eternal happiness, without any threat of separation or loss like the love between a boy and a girl, or a couple. People often say that happiness will double, triple or more when we share it with people around us. I also want Polo to be loved by many people, so I did that. This is probably not too much or a violation, right (laughs).

- What do you think when your son is still young, has been public for only a few months and already has a lot of fans?

- I think the baby has inherited all the love from the audience and fans who love Hung. Maybe that is the baby's destiny, like the children of many other stars. I am not praising my child, but to be fair, Polo has a good-looking face so he receives a lot of sympathy from everyone. I am very grateful for everyone's love for my father and son. I know that everyone is always interested in my marriage, love, children... so when Polo appears, he is like a firework that attracts everyone's attention and love. I want to thank him for this once again.

- Since making baby Polo public, how do you feel your life has changed?

- I feel extremely comfortable because every time I go with Polo, I don't have to wear a hat, hold an umbrella or hide like before. Now, every time I sing somewhere, the audience asks me about Polo. Many uncles and aunts even send gifts for Hung to bring back to Polo. Besides, my father and I also receive more attention from the press.

- What do you think if the audience will care more about your son than your singing career when you share more about him?

- I think those are two completely independent things and I'm very happy that people love my son. Polo is hotter than me, it's fine, people love Polo more than Dam Vinh Hung is even better. Everything I have now can be second to Polo (laughs).

Dam Vinh Hung publicly introduced baby Polo at the live show 'The Portrait' on October 2 in Hanoi.

- What made you decide to create the fanpage and series 'Father's Diary'?

- First of all, I recorded everything related to my child so that I could review it later and not forget everything. I also want Polo to grow up and be able to review and understand what he had with his father Hung. Besides, I also want to share this great joy with the fans who have always loved and cared about Dam Vinh Hung's life.

- Do you have any ways to prevent your child from becoming stubborn, arrogant and dependent because of being spoiled?

- That is the problem I fear the most because it will be very difficult to discipline him in the long run, especially when Polo knows he is the child of a famous person and is cared for by many people. I have used many methods from sweet, whispering, analyzing to strict. But I am still not satisfied. Polo is only three years old, so he will have the expressions and reactions of a child. To avoid him becoming difficult, I always whisper to him every night about love, put on a cold face or pretend to be angry with him since he was 1-2 years old. I do not scold him, but every time he does something wrong, I will punish him by not letting him go with me or not letting him play in the places he likes, everything will be fine.

Dam Vinh Hung brought his child along on his US tour in early December 2022.

- What difficulties do you encounter when you often take your son on tour with you?

- I worry most about the baby's health and eating, but I can take care of everything about sleeping and playing with him. Polo is now used to seeing his father Hung having to practice and run the program, not always insisting on holding him so I'm not too worried. I only take him on long and far tours because he still has to go to school.
