(Dan Tri) - At the age of 40, singer Nam Cuong continues to pursue a master's degree from the Hanoi University of Theatre and Cinema, even though he already has 3 university degrees.
Appearing as a guest on the program Youth Celebration 2024 , Nam Cuong rarely revealed about his daily life behind the image of a singer. Nam Cuong said that his youth was spent in many different jobs. Before being known as a singer, he was a professionally trained drama and film actor. It is worth mentioning that his fate to become an actor stemmed from his failure to enter the Conservatory of Music. The male singer revealed: "I did not have formal training in music such as notation - solfege or music theory, I only knew how to sing, so at that time I was missing half a point, which is a pity."

Although studying acting, Nam Cuong still pursued his passion and continued to conquer the singing path according to his original direction. Thanks to his perseverance, the singer born in 1985 conquered music lovers through many hits in the period of 2009-2010. Having achieved success in music, Nam Cuong surprised many people when he returned to acting in 2021. With the leading role in the play White Blouse , he received recognition at the 2021 National Drama Festival. "Our grandparents said 'one profession for nine is better than nine professions', so at first I determined that other professions would only supplement my main profession as a singer. However, when I had conquered the peak of my singing career, I wanted to return to films and theater to enrich my artistic life," Nam Cuong explained.

The male singer said that Meritorious Artist Trinh Kim Chi and director Huu Tien are his two "benefactors" because they brought him back to the stage and gave him interesting roles. Besides singing and acting, the male singer surprised everyone when he revealed that he had 3 university degrees, including: Film and Television Directing, Cultural Management and English Language. At the age of 40, the male singer continued to study for a master's degree in Film and Television at the Hanoi University of Theatre and Cinema. "Never limit your abilities, listen to yourself more, this is the message I want to share with the audience through my souvenirs," he said. The program Youth Memories 2024 will be broadcast at 7:15 p.m. on March 9 on VTV9 channel.
