Cody Nam Vo: Dong Nhi's old chicken asked to be a dancer for Truc Nhan, was secretly played by Hieuthuhai

Cody Nam Vo was suddenly "retaliated" by HIEUTHUHAI, originating from a fan comment that Cody's appearance resembled a male rapper, then broke out in controversy when many people affirmed that "not only similar but also more handsome".

Vo Dinh Nam, stage name Cody Nam Vo, was born on December 13, 1996 in Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh, is a young singer, rapper, dancer and songwriter who was once considered Dong Nhi's "pet chicken" – Mr. Cao Thang. With a bright appearance on stage, a height of 1m75 and the ability to sing – dance – compose comprehensively, Cody was once expected to be one of the leading faces of the new generation of Vpop idols. But his artistic path was not paved with roses — instead years of perseverance, challenges, and a desire to "relive" the stage.

From Uni5 members to the journey to find their own identity

Cody began his career in 2017 as a member of the Uni5 band under 6th Sense Entertainment. At that time, Uni5 was the "ace" taken care of by Dong Nhi and Mr. Cao Thang to build a Korean-style group idol model – which was still quite new in Vietnam. In the group, Cody takes on the positions of lead dancer, vocalist, and rapper, impressing with his confident performance style and ability to master the stage rarely seen in a rookie.

However, when the wave of Vietnamese music groups gradually cooled, Uni5 also fell into a state of "freezing". The joint activities gradually dwindled, the members left the group one after another, and Cody – after many years – officially ended his contract with 6th Sense Entertainment in August 2024. He left to the regret of his fans, closing a journey full of memories but opening up the opportunity to reincarnate himself as a solo artist.

"Old chicken" Dong Nhi struggles to reappear – and longs to stand on stage

After leaving the group, Cody entered the most difficult phase of his career. He frankly shared that there was a time when his music seemed to be "frozen", there was no opportunity to perform, no longer the familiar spotlight. It was that nostalgia that made him want to apply to be a backup dancer for singer Truc Nhan, just to be able to return to the stage and feel the energy of performing. In a recent sharing, Cody recounted that he once "falsely declared" his application to register for Rap Viet, with the desire to try his hand at a new field and attract friends to pursue rap – hip hop to the contest.

Love Infinity – the turning point of a self-made music maker

After a period of careful preparation, Cody officially joined KIM Entertainment and released the MV "Infinity Love" – the first product marking his independent solo journey. The song was composed and produced by himself, telling a love story of bitterness and betrayal, clearly showing the depth of emotions as well as modern and catchy music.

The MV is heavily invested, especially attracting attention with the jewelry set worth nearly 6 billion VND that he used during filming. The image of Cody appears as a "marshal of love" in the middle of a cinematic space, showing his meticulousness and desire to do a serious job. Although the MV has not been able to explode on the top trending, with more than 50,000 views after one day of release, fans still see in Cody a respectable effort of the artist who is constantly renewing himself.

Diverse entertainment activities: movies, shows and social media "fever" times

Not only stopping at music, Cody Nam Vo also encroached on acting when participating in short film projects such as Lien and Dat or Tien Anh. Although he has not achieved great popularity, he shows seriousness when trying in many roles, looking for new directions in art.

In 2025, Cody continues to surprise the audience by participating in the reality gameshow Brother Say Hi season 2, a show that gathers talented male artists to compete in many performance challenges and show their stage bravery. With a good background in singing, dancing and songwriting, Cody is considered a potential face, promising to create explosive performances. Fans see this as a "golden opportunity" to help him shine again after many years of hard work but have not had a strong rebound.

Not stopping there, he also appeared in the reality show "2 Days 1 Night" – Ha Nam stage, with a cult cast such as Ngo Kien Huy, HIEUTHUHAI. From the first episode, Cody shows a sense of humor and sociable spirit, not afraid to roll in challenges. A memorable moment was when HIEUTHUHAI accidentally broke the lid of Cody's clay pot in the porridge cooking game, creating a "light drama" that made the audience laugh.

An artist of persistence and love for the profession

Nearly a decade since his debut with Uni5, Cody Nam Vo is still a name that the audience remembers with his tireless perseverance. While many colleagues choose to turn to other fields, he still sticks to music, still practicing hard every day to bring the most thoughtful products. From small shows, independent projects to big stages, Cody still keeps the spirit of a guy who loves art, not afraid to start over.

At the age of 29, Cody is no longer a "rookie" of Vpop, but a mature professional after many stumbles. He has experienced the glory of the group, the loneliness of a solo artist, and also the struggle to maintain faith. But it is these things that have forged a different Cody Nam Vo — bravery, confidence, daring to commit and loyal to his passion.

The future opens for a star that has not yet gone out

Although he has not had a "stormy" hit or a high position on the charts, Cody Nam Vo owns the most valuable thing: sincerity and dedication energy. He understands that today's audience not only needs good music, but also wants to see the story, journey, and heart of the artist behind each melody.

In 2025, with projects in the pipeline with KIM Entertainment, as well as new TV shows and movies, Cody promises to continue his journey to find the spotlight – where he belongs. Maybe that path is not immediately brilliant, but certainly, it will be a journey that Vietnamese audiences will hardly forget.
