Since transitioning to a professional career, Ngo Lan Huong has noticed many changes, from how audiences perceive her to how they invest in their music. “When I was a YouTuber, people just saw me as a cute girl who could sing, and they listened to me for fun. But when I decided to pursue a professional artistic career, people's scrutiny multiplied tenfold.”

Having gone through a period of frequent criticism from netizens, Ngo Lan Huong has gradually learned how to deal with negativity. She said: “Negative comments are a necessary part of an artist's artistic journey; it would be dangerous if they weren't there. When an artist receives conflicting opinions, some people love them very much, some people hate them very much, it means that artist is very successful. An artist who only receives love and admiration probably wouldn't exist, or if they did, they wouldn't be famous.”

The singer, born in 1998, recounted that when she first moved to the South to pursue her career, she spent the first month meeting with artists to build her network.
“There were some artists I had only interacted with briefly before, but I asked to meet them so they would know I had moved to the South and was now pursuing a professional artistic career. Perhaps it was because I was truly sincere that I was lucky to have my first friends like Truong Thao Nhi and Trung Quan. They were very kind and supportive,” Ngo Lan Huong confided.
