Phan Dinh Tung: Once wanted to be a priest, had a perforated eardrum, what is it now?

Phan Dinh Tung was born in 1975, a former member of the MTV music group. He is remembered by music lovers for the songs: I still owe you, Dau tinh sau, Khuc hat vui sinh nhat, Because I love you, Ngoi sao lone,...

In his music career, Phan Dinh Tung had two difficult periods. In 2003, when he left MTV to pursue a solo career, he had to borrow his parents' house papers to mortgage to the bank, borrowing 80 million to make a product but was unsuccessful.

It was not until the song "Because I Love You" became popular with the audience that Phan Dinh Tung had enough shows to pay off his debt. In 2021, he continued to mortgage his house to open a company and invest in a bolero music project.

However, music also brought Phan Dinh Tung a fortune that many people dream of. The male singer's song "Birthday Song" has now reached 287 million views and the views are still increasing steadily.

In early June last year, Social Blade (an independent statistics site) reported that Phan Dinh Tung’s YouTube channel had a revenue of between $779 (VND 19 million) and $12,500 (VND 320 million) per month. Annually, the figure would be between $9,300 (VND 240 million) and $149,600 (VND 3.8 billion).

Dan Tri newspaper then published an analysis of the singer's assets. Accordingly, for every 1 million views, the song's owner receives 4-6 million VND, excluding personal income tax and some fees.

Thus, with 287 million views, the income that Phan Dinh Tung received from the MV "Birthday Song" is up to billions of dong. When asked about the amount of mone.y earned from music, especially this song, Phan Dinh Tung refused to disclose.

At the ag.e of 50, the 7x male singer became popular again when participating in the reality TV show "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai". Not only did his name become popular again, the male singer's private life also received more attention from the audience.

In 2012, Phan Dinh Tung married actress Thai Ngoc Bich, 12 years younger than him. The couple now have two children, a bo.y and a gir.l. After getting married, Phan Dinh Tung's wife almost ended her career to focus on taking care of her two young children.

Thai Ngoc Bich shared that the two met at a coffee shop and took pictures together before filming the MV. After work, she left without thinking about anything. Meanwhile, Phan Dinh Tung was impressed by his wife's beautiful, angelic appearance. However, because he wanted to become a monk and a priest, he was not interested in love affairs.

During the filming of the MV in Nha Trang, Phan Dinh Tung was attentive and caring towards Thai Ngoc Bich. After filming, he also gave her a CD with a message of Love for bab.y Bich. Thai Ngoc Bich admired the male singer and found him to be a decent, moderate, kind person who did not "flirt".

After that, the two kept in touch. The male singer even took the initiative to invite the beauty 12 years younger to eat. From their conversations, Thai Ngoc Bich and Phan Dinh Tung felt they had a lot in common and started dating.

Phan Dinh Tung said Thai Ngoc Bich was the first gir.l his family liked: "Through the times I brought Bich home to eat with my family, everyone saw that Bich was a diligent person, often helping in the kitchen to cook, wash dishes and clean.

Besides, Bich is also a gentle, kind and honest person, so from my mother, uncle to brother, everyone has feelings for Bich."

Phan Dinh Tung considers himself a straightforward and undreamy person, so the way he proposed to his lover was quite special. He recounted: "I am not a romantic person, and I still have the desire to become a priest, so I have not thought about marrying anyone. But on the day of my grandfather's funeral, when I heard my family compliment Bich, I knew this was the right person. So when Bich was in the toilet, I went in and said that we would soon get married.

To be honest, I never thought about proposing, my feelings suddenly came out so I expressed them spontaneously. Therefore, I didn't pay attention to the space I was in at that time. Besides, I thought we had been in love for more than a year and were ready to get married."

Sharing the secret to maintaining family happiness in Lao Dong newspaper, the singer's wife affirmed that the most important thing is that she and her husband always think about the future.

"Even though our married life has ups and downs, my husband and I always look in the same direction. Married life is not always rosy, the most important thing is to listen and understand each other.

We recognize each other's shortcomings to sympathize and over time, the two different personalities will become harmonious and in tune. When the husband is ho.t, the wife must be cool and vice versa," Thai Ngoc Bich shared. (source: Lao Dong)

Not only do they have a happy marriage, Phan Dinh Tung and Thai Ngoc Bich are also admired for their youthful appearance. The male singer is praised for his toned body like a bodybuilder even though he is 50 years old. In the MV "Hoa Ca", Phan Dinh Tung's muscular body makes fans admire and exclaim.

On May 8, Phan Dinh Tung suffered from a headache, dizziness, and bleedin.g from his ear. He was hospitalized and the doctor ordered surgery to repair the perforated eardrum in his left ear. The surgery lasted 3 hours and was a success.

The reason was shared by the male singer born in 1975 on Znews: "When I went swimming, Tung put earplugs in to prevent water. But that day, I put them in too deep and too tight. When I took them out, I accidentally pulled them out too hard, causing great pressure to rupture my eardrum," he said.

Currently, Phan Dinh Tung's health has recovered, but he still has to wait 3 weeks after the surgery and go back for a check-up to know exactly.

According to the male singer, his hearing ability in one ear is only about 20 to 30% because he is still in the process of treatment with medication. The male singer also expressed concern that his hearing condition could directly affect his vocal ability.

He told Thanh Nien newspaper: "For singers, the ear is an important tool that helps us locate pitch, listen to rhythm and adjust our voice to harmonize with the background music.

With hearing loss in one ear, I have to work twice as hard to focus on the other ear, and at the same time, I have to adjust my singing technique so that I don't go off-key or out of tune. This is a real challenge in my career."

During this time, Phan Dinh Tung must rest completely, limit work, avoid loud noises, and cannot fly because the air pressure on the plane can affect the patch, causing it to tear or bleed.
