For some reason, after those extra roles, I got access to small acting parts and was invited to star in music videos for singers like Cao Thai Son and Hien Ho… After many successful music videos with high viewership, I became more well-known and began to get involved in film and television. The biggest turning point that led me to seriously pursue acting was when I witnessed audiences shedding tears over the scenes I performed.

But when I told them about becoming an actress, they were quite surprised, because art was a completely unfamiliar world to my family. At that moment, I thought I should let them believe in me and give myself some time to challenge myself with this job for one or two years.
