Introduction
Đức Phúc (born 1996) is a Vietnamese singer, known through the reality television programme Giọng hát Việt 2015, where he won the title of champion. In 2025, he continued to make his mark when he won the international music competition Intervision.
Why was Giọng hát Việt 2015 a turning point?
This competition took Đức Phúc from a singer unknown to the public to a familiar face of Vietnamese music after just one broadcast season. For a young singer, winning the highest position on a reality television programme with a large audience is a rare advantage, because it opens up the opportunity for a long-term career rather than just a short-lived rise to fame. He was a member of singer Mỹ Tâm's team, and a frequently mentioned factor is that the training and the environment of the competition helped him become more confident on stage.
What is notable about the period after the competition?
After the competition, Đức Phúc worked persistently in the arts and released many music products. He drew attention when he decided to change his appearance, which he said was influenced by being criticised too much and by a desire for confidence in life. Afterwards, he was active with projects such as Hết thương cạn nhớ, Hơn cả yêu, Người ơi người ở đừng về, I do, Chăm em một đời. Many of his music videos passed the 100 million view mark, helping him garner many awards.
The notable point here is not each individual song, but the fact that a reality television champion maintained his appeal over many years. Singing competitions often produce a winner and then let them fade once the broadcast ends, whereas having regular products and reaching large view counts shows that audiences follow him beyond the framework of the competition. Besides music, he also participated in game shows, won runner-up in Cặp đôi hoàn hảo - Trữ tình bolero 2018 and made the top 5 of the final round at Anh trai say hi 2024.
Why is the victory at Intervision considered a milestone?
On 21/9/2025, Đức Phúc overcame 22 opponents to win at the international music competition Intervision. He performed the song Phù Đổng Thiên Vương, combining folk material and rap, receiving 422 points. In the moment of receiving the trophy, he shared: "I am very happy, thank you for the affection of the audience and the judges for Đức Phúc from Việt Nam. On this day 10 years ago, I became the champion of The Voice Vietnam so that 10 years later I could win at Intervision."
The significance of this result lies in the fact that it took place on an international stage, where Vietnamese singers rarely have the chance to win the highest position. Choosing a song that takes folk material and combines it with rap also shows a personal direction: keeping domestic identity rather than chasing international templates. This is a record with a specific time marker and figure from a source, unlike assessments that are impressions about his style.
How should the anecdotes around him be understood?
Đức Phúc is considered to have matured both in his singing and in his performance style. He has also been rumoured to be a "hidden tycoon" of showbiz, though the singer has said he knows how to save, economise and control his spending. The detail about the "hidden tycoon" story is a type of peripheral rumour rather than information confirmed by him, so it should only be recorded as an anecdote. His own answer shows how he responds to those speculations, and is also the limit of what can be said with certainty about the private life of a person still working in the profession.
