Recently, at the program Guest House, singer Justin Nguyen shared about the reason for following his profession.

When I was 16 years old, I met a dancer. She invited me to dance, I was still a child, I saw that I had money, so I agreed.

When I came to dance, I was surprised to see that the singer sang 2 or 3 songs and was paid 3 times as much as I danced for a few hours. Since then, I have tried to be a singer. Being a dancer is very difficult, I can't keep up.

When I switched to being a singer, I was also very hard because at that time I forgot most of Vietnamese, and I couldn't speak it. I have to sing karaoke a lot to practice singing Vietnamese. Sometimes for 6 months I only practice singing karaoke a single song to be fluent and then when I go to sing, I only sing that song, the next song is sung in English. Gradually, I can speak Vietnamese, sing more standardly, although I still have a lot of stuttering."

Next, Justin Nguyen shared about his love story with his current wife, singer Trina Bao Tran. He said: "I met my wife at a gathering with friends, and when I met her, I always liked her because I saw her beautiful. I met her both in the US and Vietnam, also invited to eat here and there, but I was still nervous. One time when we went to the same show in Australia, we had the opportunity to confide and understand each other better, and since then we have known each other.

We have lived together for a long time before we came to marriage. In the first two years, we quarreled constantly because we didn't understand each other, and we broke up many times. One day, we naturally understood each other.

In particular, our parents on both sides initially did not accept us coming together. My parents-in-law hated me at that time, worried that I would not treat my wife well because they were afraid that I was an artist, a flower peach, a boy and a girl.

Before I met my wife, I had many girlfriends and never thought about getting married and starting a family. One day, I feel lonely, I want to have a home, a family. When I first met my wife, I was often jealous because I was psychologically unstable, and I only grew up later.

My parents-in-law initially disagreed, but I still persevered. I even knelt down in front of my parents-in-law to ask to marry my wife."

Trina said that in her eyes, her husband is a kind, gentle person, lives very emotionally, loves people, is not afraid to help others, loves his wife and children and always wants his family to be happy and happy. "He always respects and loves his grandparents, parents and family. He is an ideal husband who takes care of his wife and children and always puts his family in the first place."
