“This is a special milestone in my career, and I want to express my heartfelt thanks to all the listeners who have always supported my music. I also want to thank The Official Vietnam Chart and IFPI for recognizing and supporting Vietnamese artists. Knowing that I’m the first artist to receive both of these awards makes me incredibly proud.”

He added: “And above all, I dedicate this achievement to the Sky community – you are my greatest source of motivation. None of this would be possible without you. Once again, thank you all for being part of this journey with me.”
