Musician Nguyen Van Chung: From the incident of being mistakenly thought 'deceased' to life as a single father.
The author of 'Mother's Diary' has garnered attention for revealing ironic situations in her career and her journey of raising two children years after her divorce.
Musician Nguyen Van Chung recently attracted attention online by sharing unusual situations and "painful experiences" he encountered throughout his career. His humorous stories brought laughter to fans while also revealing some hidden aspects of the musician's life.
A series of unusual misunderstandings and ironic situations.
In his latest post, Nguyen Van Chung admitted to being the unluckiest person in showbiz. One of the biggest misunderstandings is that audiences often mistake him for an elderly musician, with some even believing he has passed away because his famous songs were released a long time ago. The musician, born in 1983, has repeatedly had to directly clarify that he is still alive and has not passed away in response to inaccurate posts.
In addition, the author of numerous hit songs also listed some unbelievable misfortunes such as: frequently being photographed in embarrassing situations by colleagues and fans, rarely buying things online but always receiving poor-quality items. Most notably, there was the ironic situation where he had composed over 300 children's songs for his daughter, but she chose to sing someone else's song at her graduation ceremony.
The hidden aspects of personal life and the journey of raising children after divorce.
Regarding his personal life, Nguyen Van Chung is currently a single father after divorcing many years ago. He admits to facing many difficulties in his relationships, especially the awkwardness in how people address each other. The musician shared that whenever he tries to get to know someone, they call him "uncle," which makes him feel disappointed.
Currently, Nguyen Van Chung is devoting his energy to caring for his two children. His adopted daughter, Kim Anh (Suri, 16 years old), is the biological daughter of his younger sister and helped him overcome a difficult psychological period before reuniting with her mother in Australia in 2025. Meanwhile, his biological son, Hieu Long (Bu, 15 years old), lives with his father. The musician confided that raising his son during adolescence, with its many psychological and physiological changes, is a significant challenge.
A brilliant career and scandalous rumors.
Despite facing many humorous and challenging situations in life, Nguyen Van Chung's career has been incredibly successful. In 2020, he was recognized by the Vietnam Record Organization as the "Youngest songwriter who has composed the most children's songs in Vietnam." Notably, his song "Continuing the Story of Peace," released at the end of 2023, has reached over 10 billion views across various platforms, leaving a strong impression at the A50 and A80 national celebrations.
Regarding the rumors of a romantic relationship with singer Duyen Quynh – the performer of the aforementioned billion-view hit – both have denied the allegations. Duyen Quynh stated that their relationship is purely professional, and their silence in the face of controversy is their chosen way to maintain peace in their work.
