Diva Hong Nhung comes from a noble family, a descendant of King Minh Mang, called Bong for a reason.

Diva Hong Nhung is probably no longer a strange name to the Vietnamese music-loving public. Besides her success in her artistic career, few people know that she also has a noble background, making many people admire her.

Not only is she Vietnam's leading pop diva, singer Hong Nhung is also admired by many for her noble background. She was born into a famous intellectual family in Hanoi, with her father being translator Le Van Vien and her mother Doi Thu Hong. Hong Nhung's paternal grandfather is painter Le Van Ngoan, and her maternal grandfather is linguist Doi Xuan Ninh, former principal of Buoi School - where her father studied.

But few people know that Hong Nhung also has royal lineage. According to Tuoi Tre, Ms. Doi Thu Hong, Hong Nhung's mother, is the younger sister of author Doi Xuan Viet.

In the memoir Returning to the Origin, Mr. Doi Xuan Viet shared that King Minh Mang gave birth to 78 princes and 64 princesses. Lac Hoa district duke Mien Vu was the 15th prince. He gave birth to Ky Ngoai Hau - Nguyen Phuc Huong Chuoc.

Mr. Doi Xuan Viet's maternal grandfather, Associate Professor Nguyen Phuc Ung Dinh, was the second son of Mr. Ky Ngoai Hau. Thus, Mr. Dinh was the great-grandson of King Minh Mang, and Mr. Doi Xuan Viet and Mrs. Doi Thu Hong were also descendants of King Minh Mang. In other words, diva Hong Nhung was a descendant of King Minh Mang, carrying royal blood.

Mr. Doi Xuan Viet added that Hong Nhung's name Bong was given by his mother, who is also Hong Nhung's grandmother. The reason is that when Hong Nhung's mother was seven or eight months pregnant, she still carried a basket to the lake to fish for goby, so her grandmother wanted to give her the name Bong as a beautiful memory.

From a young age, Hong Nhung showed her talent for singing. At the age of 10, she was recruited into the vocal class of the Hanoi Cultural Palace and had her first recording at the age of 11. Not only did she sing well, Hong Nhung was also an excellent student.

During her secondary school years, she was an excellent student for 7 consecutive years and graduated with a score of 36/40. Hong Nhung was also a student in the Literature class, was sent to the city-level Literature competition and then to the National Excellent Student competition. In 1983, Hong Nhung was on the list of excellent students in the whole city, and was awarded a certificate of merit by Prime Minister Pham Van Dong. It is known that Hong Nhung was awarded a certificate of merit by the Prime Minister 3 times.

Coming into contact with music at the age of 10, with her natural talent, little Hong Nhung quickly acquired skillful vocal techniques and her career blossomed early. The diva has had many hits such as Dewdrops on the eyelids, Remembering Hanoi's autumn, Still singing love songs, Nightingale singing in the rain... She is also one of the rare female singers who can express the soul in songs by famous musicians such as Van Cao, Duong Thu, Tran Tien, Phu Quang, Quoc Trung, Bao Chan, Quoc Bao...

In particular, the title "muse" of musician Trinh Cong Son brought Hong Nhung a far-reaching reputation and a position that is difficult to replace until now. She is also the one who has made many important contributions to the successful innovation of Trinh's music in particular and the country's music in general since the early 1990s.

To date, after more than 40 years of singing, Hong Nhung is a name with great influence, owning a collection of hits and prestigious awards. She has won 8 Dedication Award nominations, contributing greatly to the successful innovation of Trinh's music as well as the country's music industry since the early 1990s.

Through ups and downs, at the age of over 50, Hong Nhung still maintains her form, being invited to participate in many big shows. The diva's private concerts are always full. She is also the "big sister" of the Vietnamese entertainment industry, loved by the audience when participating in the program "Beautiful Sister Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves".
