'Prince of V-pop' in hiding for 10 years: I bought a few hotel apartments and made a favorable investment

Hoang Hai is a singer who grew up from the competition.Morning Star Rendezvous. He has a handsome appearance, a good voice, was the valedictorian of the Vocal Music Department of Hanoi College of Culture and Arts and is affectionately called by many audiences as the "Prince of V-pop".

However, at the peak of his career, Hoang Hai suddenly went into hiding for more than 10 years. In 2023, the male singer caused a stir when he appeared on the showThe Masked Singerwith the image of Father Bear.

In the clip chatting about the live showCrossroads of TimeSinger Hoang Hai revealed about his life during his 10 years of absence from Vietnamese entertainment:“At that time I felt I had a certain success but everything was going downhill.

I think I need to stop because I shouldn't bring the public things that are not the best."

The male singer frankly said that his temporary hiatus from singing was not a failure:“For me, there is no such thing as failure. Those things will contribute to our success later. There is no one who does not have to learn from failure.

I think you and I are all successful people, in some aspect of this life".

Returning after many years of absence, the "V-pop prince" frankly said that he did not set a goal of "creating a hit" but just wanted to sing the music he loves:“If the goal was to have a hit song, many people probably wouldn’t be able to pursue this career. I set a goal to sing the music I love.

I think when we do something with love, we have a very high chance of success.”

Handsome, famous and talented, but Hoang Hai is still single. The male singer admitted that it has been a long time since he has been "caught in a love net":“It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced the feeling of loving or missing someone. I think at a certain age, I will find that no matter who or what I love, my emotions will be calm and gentle, not as intense as when I was young. Perhaps when we get older, our reason will be stronger, allowing us to control our emotions better.”

Hoang Hai also said he has not thought about getting married, especially since returning to the entertainment industry:“Since returning to the entertainment industry, I have had very little time for myself.

All my time is devoted to work and music. Every time I come home, I just want to be alone, to be able to comfortably lie down on the sofa or just relax and recover after giving it my all on stage.

Hoang Hai also admitted that during the 10 years of "hiding", he thought he might never return to the stage again:“At that time, there were times when I thought I would not return to singing continuously. There were times when I decided that singing was no longer my main job. Sometimes I would have to sing a show every 3 months just for fun, to ease my longing for music.

In fact, those 10 years I lived a life that I had never experienced before. Before, I graduated and sang, worked continuously and never had time to go out. The 10-year break was very interesting and made me happy.

It was very interesting to experience everything about life around me. Thanks to those experiences in those 10 years, my singing style is now different, it feels much more “adult”.

Hoang Hai also denied that he returned to the music stage because the real estate market "slowed down":“I’m not really a real estate speculator. During my singing career, I had some extra money and bought a few hotel apartments and made a good investment.

My return to singing was due to fate. One fine day, I was invited to participate in a program that I really liked, so I agreed.

The male singer also expressed his gratitude to the audience for always loving and welcoming him:“Really, an artist cannot exist without the audience. I love and am grateful to the audience because they are the ones who help me have the energy and emotions on stage like today.”
