Revealing the words Nam Phong said at Quy Binh's funeral, when applied to people, anyone who hears them will feel sorry

The Vietnamese entertainment industry is in shock and grief over the sudden passing of supermodel and designer Nam Phong. He passed away in the early morning of July 9 after a short period of treatment for a serious lung disease.

Fateful words at Quy Binh's funeral: "I should have gone before Quy Binh..."

A source close to SAOstar said that despite silently fighting a serious illness in the past time, Nam Phong still maintained an optimistic and cheerful spirit with friends and colleagues. On his personal page, the supermodel still shared positive statuses and interacted with everyone without mentioning his health condition. Therefore, his sudden departure made the audience and colleagues even more heartbroken.

Recently, a close brother of Nam Phong shared a touching story, revealing a fateful saying of the late model at actor Quy Binh's funeral just a few months ago. This brother wrote on his personal page: "I remember the day Quy Binh was sent off at the funeral home, she told me: 'I should have gone before Quy Binh'... But the truth is that at that time she had lung disease, and today that disease took her away!".

This saying made many people shudder when thinking back, because it was like a cruel prophecy that happened to Nam Phong himself. The close brother also shared more about a memorable memory between him, Nam Phong and Quy Binh: "The time I sat with you and Quy Binh eating snails on the embankment, you put your arm around Quy Binh's shoulder and said: 'We are not afraid of anything... We are only afraid of getting old', then you laughed out loud. And now, no one will ever see you and Quy Binh getting old again, right?".

Through these brief shares, the public sees a Nam Phong who is close, friendly and always looking towards good things. He is a person who lives with joy, not afraid of anything except old age, but a serious illness has made the supermodel stop forever at the age of 41 - the age when he should have been flourishing with his career and art. The passing of two close friends in a short time has created double pain for those who remain.

The journey of overcoming difficulties and the haunting after-effects of Covid-19

Nam Phong, whose real name is Ngo Quang Phong, was born in 1984 in Ca Mau. He is a testament to the extraordinary determination from a poor background to pursue his passion for art. He made his mark when he entered the Top 5 of the "Spring Fashion of Youth" contest and won the Bronze prize in the "Model Star" contest.

Later, he turned to fashion design and quickly became a familiar name, trusted by many artists for their performance costumes. Nam Phong's health was weak and he had a history of lung disease.

Late last year (December 2024), he had a near-death experience when he was hospitalized at District 1 General Hospital (HCMC) in critical condition due to complications after Covid-19, then transferred to Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital.

The 8X supermodel once shared about "25 days of overcoming death's door", when his illness progressed rapidly, his health was so critical that he could not eat, talk, or breathe. After intensive treatment, he recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

Nam Phong also advised everyone to pay attention to their health, not to bathe at night, and if they have difficulty breathing when going up the stairs, they should go to the hospital for a check-up. He confided: "This illness is valuable because it has helped me let go of many haunting things and mental crises that have lasted for more than 30 years, opened my heart and regained faith in people. Phong also realized that he was too obsessed. Now he is happier and thinks more openly." Those optimistic words show that he has faced his illness and difficulties in life with a strong spirit.

His last post on his personal page was in early June, still showing happy pictures with artists. Nam Phong's passing is not only the loss of a talented individual but also a painful reminder of the impermanence of life and the importance of health. He will always be remembered as a dedicated model, designer and a passionate friend and colleague in the hearts of Vietnamese artists.
