Đàm Vĩnh Hưng (born October 2, 1971), often referred to by his nickname, Mr. Dam (also spelled Mr. Đàm), is a Vietnamese pop star.

He has become very popular in Vietnam beginning with his first career solo “Tình Ơi Xin Ngủ Yên”. His second album, "Binh Minh Se Mang Em Di," boosted him into the A-list singers in Vietnam receiving much commercial and critical success. Following that, his first official liveshow "Trai Tim Hat" was held in 2013, directed by the most famous director at that time, Huynh Phuc Dien. The success of his albums as well as his live concerts had led him into many awards; he was named one of top 10 singers of the year by Lan Song Xanh from that on and especially the award of "Best Male Artist of the year" of Ngoi Sao Bach Kim was given as a proof of his effort.

However, his career life was truly brightened when his 5th album-Giot Nuoc Mat Cho Doi was given out, followed by his second liveshow "Gio H". On the other hand, Vol 8 "Tinh Ca 50" releasing in 2006 briging him a lot of troubles from the song of the same name. There was also a rumour of the love affair between Hung and one of the very famous Vietnamese female singer - My Tam at that time when Hung continuously confessed about his admiration for Tam.

In early 2007, believing that the number 10 was the perfect number, he closed his franchise albums 1-10 by vol 10-Lac Mat Em Hung and immediately introduced his new franchise called "Da Khuc Cho Tinh Nhan".

Dam is involved in combating the escalating traffic crisis. He is a goodwill ambassador to Asia Injury Prevention Foundation.

In July 2010, Dam came to Santa Clara, California to give a concert. Security was heavy in expectation of protests by Vietnamese Americans, many of whom see him as a symbol of the communist government which they fled. Activist Ly Tong dressed up in drag in order to slip through security, and under the pretext of giving Dam a flower, sprayed Dam in the face with pepper spray.^[1]

The uniqueness in the products of Mr. Dam is out of a record-length 16 min 45 sec, music video "Tuoi Hong Tho Ngay" is more like a short film with the complete story.

Tuoi Hong Tho Ngay is the song has story behind the writing is quite thrilling and until now, the real story of the death of the student Thai Tuan (Dương Triệu Vũ, who is the author of the lyrics of this song) sowing his suicide 4th floor of the dormitory from Hanoi Polytechnic University after love split is still a mystery, unknown to damage to those who love this song.

One year later, this friend has encountered unexpected accidents and cerebral palsy since then. Also this year, in a ceremony in memory friend has died, a male friend (Đàm Vĩnh Hưng's guitar) and female singing has rendered Tuoi Hong Tho Ngay. That evening, the both of friend have already encountered unexpected accident...

Temporarily called the film, this film is set back in Dalat, based on the contents of the above anecdote to variations. At first look it seems Mr Dam saw horned calves do not want to see it, but that scene, camera angles and actors considered beautiful new linger until the last minute. Perhaps stories like this coincidence in life is not rare, but not quite as much. Starring in which all the familiar faces.

Tuoi Hong Tho Ngay - completely unknown before this post. Now see or hear and read anecdotes that its new emotions, perhaps because to contemplate the scenario of character and storytelling to Dam Vinh Hung songs convey a feeling. Several months before the report also found this flurry of Mr Dam's music video but did not bother to read because not care. Movie only just short, but the scenes footage and interviews also quite fun and interesting. All invited actress, singer, model famous play, very nice clip, it is true that different people have money. Like her petite female face, the wedding scene was spectacular, color up as some promotional clips. Older male childhood he so cute, the boy play many movie should look familiar face, background music and also lead. Generally rated 8/10 on the whole.
