Khanh Thi's son has changed strangely, parents are clearly helpless, netizens give 1 piece of advice

Having won the world championship in dancesport twice, Kubi was expected to become his parents' "successor". However, the boy is currently not interested in dancing.

From stage prodigy to world champion

Born in 2015, Nguyen Doan Minh Cuong (nickname Kubi) showed his talent for dancesport from a young age, an extremely rare thing for a child. Growing up in a professional artistic environment, under the direct guidance of two leading Vietnamese grandmasters - Khanh Thi and Phan Hien - Kubi quickly achieved amazing achievements.

Thanks to his innate talent combined with systematic training, Kubi has made history by winning two consecutive gold medals at the World Dancesport Championship in the children's category (2023 and 2024). This is not only the pride of his family but also a testament to his outstanding talent in the international arena, causing the Vietnamese dancesport community to place high expectations on the "successor" of the golden couple.

Viral samba video: The talent is still there, but the will has changed

Most recently, Khanh Thi posted a video on her personal page, recording the moment she, Phan Hien and Kubi Minh Cuong danced samba together. The clip quickly went viral because of the image of Kubi growing taller, possessing impressive long legs and a dignified demeanor that is not inferior to professional dancers.

The boy's handsome face and graceful, decisive movements make it difficult for fans to take their eyes off him, constantly admiring the young talent of Khanh Thi - Phan Hien, who is increasingly showing his excellent qualities in the sport that made his parents famous.

However, the joy and admiration of the online community quickly turned into regret when reading Khanh Thi's accompanying posts. The female grandmaster herself revealed a surprising truth about her son.

"I just like to dance for fun": A regrettable confession

Specifically, Khanh Thi wrote: "What parent doesn't love and care for their child? And always want their child to grow tall. After watching this clip, I think Mr. Nguyen Doan Phan Hien and I need to get our legs lengthened. He's not taller than his parents at all, but why are his legs so long... The only problem is that he's too lazy to dance. He's no longer following his parents' career. He said: I just like to dance for fun."

Kubi's confession of "being lazy to dance" and "no longer following his parents' career" despite his brilliant successes and limitless potential has surprised many people. The boy who was once the world dancesport champion in the children's category for two consecutive years now only wants to "dance for fun", no longer interested in continuing to pursue a professional dance sport career. This is something that makes the online community regretful, because Kubi was once considered the most promising "successor", able to follow in the footsteps and even surpass the success of his parents.

Khanh Thi and Phan Hien: Pressure to "follow in the footsteps" or respect your child's passion?

Kubi's story has also sparked discussions about the pressure to "follow in the footsteps" that children of celebrities often face, especially when they show natural talent early on.

In the comment section, a netizen advised Khanh Thi to respect her child's interests and not force Kubi to pursue a career in dancesport. This person wrote: "Let your child live with his passion and interests, parents only guide and support their children, but do not force them to follow their wishes, especially in the field of career."

In response to netizens' advice, Phan Hien's wife expressed her agreement, showing understanding and respect for her son's decision. This somewhat eased fans' regret and demonstrated her maturity and mentality in the role of a mother.

It is essential to allow a child the freedom to explore and choose their passions, even if they have exceptional talent in a particular field. Too much pressure and expectation can inadvertently stifle their natural joy and creativity.
