(Dan Tri) - Besides being willing to spend a huge amount of money to go through all 5 stops of the "Born Pink" music night in the US, Mr. Beo U40 also surprised everyone by bringing more than 200 conical hats as gifts.
Mr. Beo U40 (real name Tran Tuan Dat, born in 1988, Dong Nai) is a university lecturer majoring in International Relations. He is also known as a bilingual MC, content creator with 5 million followers on social media platforms.
Recently, Teacher Beo U40 attracted attention when he decided to make more than 200 conical hats as gifts for all international Blinks (Blackpink group's fan name) present at 5 Born Pink concerts in the US.

Difficulties from the days before setting foot in America
Sharing with Dan Tri reporter, Teacher Beo U40 said: "I decided to book plane tickets, tickets to concerts and pay for accommodation and food just one week before officially departing for the US.
With the project "Vietnamese conical hats in your area", I had exactly 5 days to complete everything. Thanks to the help from the online community, I successfully contacted 4 reputable conical hat suppliers in Hanoi, Hue, Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai to order in time".

Initially, Thay Beo only planned to randomly give 10 conical hats to some international fans of the group Blackpink at the music nights.
After a day of sharing this information on social networks, seeing great support from the Vietnamese fan community in the US, he decided to "play big", changing the scale of the project, increasing the number of conical hats to more than 200.
These conical hats will be divided equally and given away for free to all Blackpink fans at 4 locations in New Jersey, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco (USA).
Talking about the difficulties in the implementation process, Master Beo confided: "Even when I was still in Vietnam, the implementation process encountered all kinds of "tribulations". The biggest difficulty and pressure for me was probably racing against time and unfavorable weather.
The weather in Vietnam at this time is mostly rainy and less sunny, so the conical hats painted by artisans will not have time to dry. The shipping schedule is delayed compared to the original plan, leading to many unexpected additional costs.
There was a time when Mr. Beo felt desperate and helpless when he heard the news that 50 conical hats from the Las Vegas (USA) leg transported from Hue to Ho Chi Minh City had arrived late and were not packed in time to be brought over.
Teacher Beo confided: "When I heard the news, I burst into tears at the hotel, feeling worried, not knowing what to do because that was the last way to transport the hat to Las Vegas, USA.
Luckily, when I shared this story with groups, I received support from everyone, finding a way to get those hats to the US in time for the show. I was touched by the solidarity of the Vietnamese fan community."
When he received information that the conical hats could not be delivered on time, Thay Beo was fortunate to receive support from the Vietnamese Blink community in Las Vegas and Los Angeles (USA). All members of the group sympathized and proactively shared the shipping costs from Vietnam to the US with him.
Mr. Beo did not want to disclose the specific amount of investment for this project. The young man born in 1988 hopes that this small act of his will contribute to spreading the Vietnamese spirit and culture to the largest stadiums in the US.

Traveled 14,000 km to personally deliver a special gift to Blackpink
To be present at the final stage of the Born Pink music night, Teacher Beo had to go through a difficult journey with 5 consecutive flights, traveling 14,000 km to reach the US on time.
Luckily, having experience of going to America 4 times and successfully participating in Taylor Swift's concert there, the Dong Nai native confidently went alone without any confusion or fear.

The moment member Rosé wore a Vietnamese conical hat during a stage rehearsal at a concert at Allegiant Stadium (Las Vegas, USA) quickly spread on social networks and created a "fever" among the Vietnamese fan community.
"When I saw Rosé receiving and wearing the conical hat that she brought from Vietnam, I cried a lot at the stadium. It felt like all the hardships and challenges she had gone through had been worth it.
After returning home to review it, my emotions were quite mixed, I cried and laughed like a child. I felt happy, proud and satisfied because I had fulfilled my biggest dream on this trip," Teacher Beo emotionally recounted.

Having attended Blackpink's performances 9 times in many different countries, Thay Beo found this trip to the US to be an invaluable experience and worth the effort.
He confided: "If I didn't decide to go to the US to see Blackpink perform, I would probably regret it for the rest of my life. This is a very meaningful experience and I cherish every moment, every moment of sublimation and happiness when I am here."
Chasing idols is not blameworthy
According to Thay Beo, each person's passion and personal interests deserve respect. Above all, pursuing your idol with your own effort and hard work is not something to be criticized.
"To me, each person will have different interests, passions and goals. Following your idol is also a way to help you realize your dreams.
It is not wrong to try your best to create positive values and valuable experiences for yourself and everyone needs to respect that.
Consider loving your idol as a motivation for you to always try and make efforts to improve yourself in life. Develop all your abilities and learn good qualities from your idol," Mr. Beo shared.
The male lecturer said that following his idol has become the motivation for him to improve his foreign language knowledge every day. As long as you know how to set goals in life, combine your passion with self-development, no one can underestimate your dream.
