'King of poor music' Truong Vu has reached his prime?
Originally a man of few words and not having the need to promote himself, Truong Vu now actively participates in many games: Joining the Facebook community, creating a YouTube channel to show off his cooking skills, creating a fanpage... From here, many aspects of the life of the "poor music king" have been revealed.
“The King of Poor Music” answered many questions that the audience was interested in. For example: Was the status written by Truong Vu? The singer of “The Old Road You Walked” replied: “Truong Vu is just a normal singer so there is no one to draft it to follow the community’s wishes like politicians. Therefore, Truong Vu speaks according to his own ideas and thoughts.”
However, he also confessed that he has a “personal secretary”. And this “personal secretary” is not a temporary salary contract but a “lifetime contract”. She helped him write down his ideas and edited the words to make them easier to understand. Fans also do not need to look for the image of Truong Vu’s “lifetime personal secretary”. He “advertised” humorously but fully with his name and age: “This is Truong Vu’s eldest daughter. Her name is Anh Thu. She is now 5 years old but 5 bunches (years) of age are a little bit weaker”.

On this occasion, he also showed off his daughter: “My name is Nhi. I am 13 years old this year. I am often called baby (Nhi) but I am not baby at all.
Truong Vu's son was also "revealed": "My name is Duy, I'm 11 years old this year". The boy has long hair, so some viewers wondered: Why do boys have long hair? Truong Vu humorously explained: "My son likes long hair. The other day I took him to get a haircut but he gave him sleeping pills so after the haircut, it was still long". By the way, some viewers asked, did he teach his two children Chinese? (Truong Vu is Vietnamese of Chinese origin). The male singer said right away, he did not teach his two children Chinese. "If Truong Vu hasn't taught them yet, what's the point of them?" Although he did not teach Chinese, Truong Vu still taught his children Vietnamese because "far from home, we must not forget our roots".

Why did Truong Vu appear so much on Facebook, fanpages, and even set up a YouTube channel? Was he "following" domestic "stars", needing to polish his name, or was it because he couldn't sing during the pandemic that he joined YouTube to earn a little extra money? None of that was true. He explained: Truong Vu is fulfilling his promise to his wife. One day he will tell the whole story, the famous bolero singer promised. He also reassured his audience that they shouldn't worry that Truong Vu is actively cooking in the kitchen because he's giving up singing. It's just that "at this time, Truong Vu is following the government's social distancing rules with everyone else, so he's not singing. Truong Vu will go back to shows when the social distancing rules are relaxed."
The Singe Truong Vu Page is a bridge for the "poor music king" to get closer to the audience through images, short clips, stories on stage as well as in daily life: "Truong Vu still reminds himself that without the love and support of all of you, there would be no Truong Vu today," he shared.

But through his cooking skills on YouTube, the "poor music king" has been praised by many viewers: skillful and patient. He himself also praised his patience for being much higher than before: "It's true that the older you get, the more patient you are. When I was a child, if I couldn't do it 1 or 2 times, I would give up immediately. Now that I'm a "young man", I have to do it until I get it right. At first, the finished product was a pot, then a pile, and finally a real rice cake, with the right shape," he said about his arduous journey of learning to make rice cakes. In addition, the "poor music king" also praised his sitting posture: "The way he sits is also very professional."
