Singer Ung Hoang Phuc said that after 23 years of singing, going through many ups and downs in his career, he still maintains his reputation and is in demand for shows.
- How was your work at the beginning of the year?
- On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I received performances everywhere. I also finished filming four songs, including two newly released spring songs, the other two are my forte pop ballads, which will be released soon. All are invested with newer musical materials, suitable for the tastes of current audiences. I also finished filming the movie Song Ngam , which is expected to be shown in the movie version first, followed by the full-length version on YouTube.
In the past two years, I have been releasing products regularly and they have been well received by the audience. From the beginning to the end of the year, I have been invited to sing at events, ticket sales, dance halls, and tea rooms. I am doing very well and my work is going well.

- What do you think needs to change to maintain a stable performance and maintain a name in the music industry?
- In the past, famous artists could maintain their image for several years in a row. Now, if you don't work or create, you will be forgotten in just two or three months because the audience has many means and platforms for entertainment.
Modern music is not only about singing but also about rap, dancing and creativity in mixing and arranging. I study to change myself to suit. If something is old and no longer fashionable, I have to give it up. I also regularly participate in music game shows to connect with young audiences, not relying on the fact that I already have a name. I have maintained my form for 23 years of singing, which is a testament to my own efforts.
- What stage made you stuck at work?
- That was when I had a herniated disc injury again, it took me one or two years to recover. I sang moderately to continue my career but I couldn't be satisfied with music. At the most difficult time, with no shows, I sang for 5-10 million VND if anyone called me, sometimes I was paid with affection. My health and image were not good, I was commented to be out of date, I was sad, but I didn't let that control me. I accepted all opinions to try harder, not to stop.
I am now confident that I am in good shape and healthy enough to do everything. I have never thought that my time has passed because I am still in demand and have notable products. Last year, the song " Tron ton nghia tinh" in my movie Phuc Cop reached millions of views on music platforms. Wherever I perform, the audience always asks me to sing this song.

- What pressure are you facing now?
- That is to raise three children to study. My children all go to international schools so the cost is expensive, each person spends from 500 million VND to billions VND a year. Anyone who has children always wants their children to receive the best. Investing in education is a burden for me but also a motivation to try to work and earn money.
Besides the pressure, I am happy because my children are all good students and are praised by their teachers. They love each other, so the family is always peaceful and warm. I take care of my wife's son - Kim Cuong - like my own child and treat them equally. My husband and I are always close to each other, working together and raising our children.

- What else do you wish for in life?
- Before I became a singer, I loved singing, hoping that people would listen to me, that my voice would touch people's hearts. Even though I'm no longer famous, I still have the same dream as when I first started my career. Every year, I prioritize my health, so that I can have the voice and physical strength to perform on stage.
