Intervision 2025 Champion Duc Phuc: I called my mom at 3am and she was still awake…

Rarely, singer Duc Phuc - Champion of Intervision 2025 shared private stories related to his parents and behind-the-scenes stories about the performance "Phu Dong Thien Vuong" that caused a stir on social networks last week.

During a press conference on the afternoon of September 27, Intervision 2025 Champion Duc Phuc confessed that when he entered the competition, he did not think he would win. He always determined to spend as much money as possible to ensure a perfect performance, true to his professional principles. "Luckily, I did not lose this time. When I knew the result, I only regretted that I would have invested in making a little more fireworks and it would have been better!" - singer Duc Phuc confided.

Being a meticulous and perfectionist person, Duc Phuc, in addition to wanting to bring the beauty of Vietnamese culture into his performance, also wanted to have entertainment and international elements. Therefore, the song Phu Dong Thien Vuong has lyrics in English, conveying the message "walking proudly in the bright light and creating the indomitability of Vietnam" and a little Russian with the desire to show gratitude to the host country.

"I shared with the crew that I wanted to create a 3-minute performance with only 6 participants, but it had to clearly show the spirit, aspiration to rise, the resilience, strength and resilience of the Vietnamese people. The poem Vietnamese Bamboo by poet Nguyen Duy is also the key idea of ​​the song Phu Dong Thien Vuong composed by musician Ho Hoai Anh," said singer Duc Phuc.

The male singer emphasized the story of copyright in music and expressed deep gratitude to poet Nguyen Duy. For him, honoring original creative values ​​is the way for artists to maintain fairness and respect in art. "In the next few days, I will return to Ho Chi Minh City and will arrange to directly visit and pay tribute to poet Nguyen Duy," Duc Phuc said.

Regarding the performance, there were some parts that were not so good, the male singer explained that he was a bit nervous in the first 15 seconds. He said: "Over the past 10 years, I have performed on many stages but when I went to the competition, I still felt a certain amount of nervousness. But thanks to the support of the audience as well as careful preparation, after a few minutes of staggering, I regained my composure and completed the performance convincingly."

Duc Phuc was surprised and admired the brave action of the Russian artist.

The artist representing the host country (Russia) has a "huge" voice and an eye-catching performance, so he asked the judges not to give him a score, so Duc Phuc won the highest position? In response to this question, the male singer confessed that during the competition night, because he did not have an interpreter headset, he did not understand what the male artist said on stage. Only after he finished the competition and won the prize and went out for an interview did Duc Phuc know about it.

"I was very surprised and admired the brave action of the Russian artist. This shows hospitality and welcome to contestants of all countries to his country. For me, it was also very lucky, because if he had not made that request and still let the judges score, the championship title would not have been possible for me," the male singer confided.

To express gratitude to the artists, organizers and Russian audiences who have shown their love for him, Duc Phuc has donated nearly 9 billion VND of his prize money to a charity fund for disadvantaged and orphaned children in Russia. In addition, the male singer also revealed that he will donate 1 billion VND to charity funds in Vietnam.

In response to VietNamNet's question: Duc Phuc wrote two letters from Russia after winning Intervision 2025, thanking many people but not mentioning his parents?, the male singer confided that he did not want to show his affection for his relatives on social networks but was always grateful and thinking about them. Even when he won the prize in Russia, the first person Duc Phuc called to share his joy was his mother.

"I called my mother at 3am but she was still awake. My parents are always there to accompany me through all my joys and sorrows. They are always by my side to teach me what is right and wrong, even in the smallest things like inviting everyone to eat. My parents respect their children's decisions and trust what Duc Phuc does. I told my parents that if I won a big prize this time, they would buy me anything they liked, but they told me to think about it first.

Duc Phuc always considers family number 1 and is grateful to them.

I am a family-oriented person. Whatever my parents like, I will try to buy it for them. For example, my father is over 60 years old but likes to ride a large-displacement motorbike. He said that when he was young, he didn't have one to ride, so now he wants to have one to occasionally take my mother around the streets of Hanoi . At first, I thought it was not very safe to ride like that, but because my father liked it, I indulged him and bought him a large-displacement motorbike and told him not to ride it too much" - Duc Phuc shared.
