Accordingly, in 2015 when Phan Manh Quynh Still a new name in the Vietnamese music industry, he collaborated with director Nhu Dang and visual director Kien Ung to make the MV for the song "Someone else's wife".

When the crew completed the demo with the scene of Phan Manh Quynh playing the role of a village boy who came to crash his ex-girlfriend's wedding, the male musician did not agree with this demo. Phan Manh Quynh criticized the filming quality of the MV, he asked Kien Ung and Nhu Dang to edit it.

However, Kien Ung and Nhu Dang unexpectedly put this demo on the platforms and created a great attraction. In 2015, the song "Vo nguoi ta" was considered the "song of the year" because the melody of this song could be heard everywhere. The MV "Vo nguoi ta" with its humorous and funny story of breaking up a wedding immediately reached record numbers of views.

What is even more surprising is that the demo version of the MV "Wife of another person" has surpassed the official MV of the song "Wife of another person" in terms of views. Currently, the demo version has reached 145 million views, while the official version has only reached 19 million. Many people even commented that they only knew about the demo version of the MV "Wife of another person" and did not know about the existence of the official MV.

After 9 years, Phan Manh Quynh has now become a sought-after musician in the Vietnamese music industry. Not only does he own a series of million-view hits, Phan Manh Quynh is also valuable in the film music industry, including the song he composed for the film Tran Thanh's "Mai" has just created an unprecedented controversy on social networks.

Also after 9 years, the female lead in the demo of the MV "Someone's Wife" is Quynh Kool, from the hot girl of the comedy group Kem Xoi, to become the female lead of a primetime TV series.

In 2018, when participating in Ha Anh Tuan's live show, Phan Manh Quynh shared that he composed "Someone else's wife" when he was only 25 years old, all his thoughts were still immature, and it was the first time he experienced the emotions of his ex-lover getting married.

Meanwhile, Ha Anh Tuan considers Phan Manh Quynh a precious gem of music. Ha Anh Tuan said that the first time he heard the song “Vô người ta” (Someone’s Wife), he turned to his assistant and asked, “Who is this guy? What kind of song does he compose? It sounds so random.” But after listening to this song continuously for half a year, Ha Anh Tuan memorized “Vô người ta” without realizing it.

Ha Anh Tuan realized that Phan Manh Quynh was not "ordinary" and collaborated with the male musician in many music projects later.

Phan Manh Quynh was born in 1990 in Dien Chau, Nghe An . He is the author of a series of hits such as "Someone else's wife", "There is a boy who writes on a tree", "Nguoi ngoai", "Tri ky", "Hoi uoc", "Sau loi tu xu", "Ngay chua gio bao"...
