Seoul [South Korea], February 16: Phuong My Chi understands that the audience's affection is precious and also very fragile, so the young singer is always careful in her words and actions. Despite achieving considerable success, she doesn't allow herself to become complacent or rely on her position to demand special privileges.
I think words like "brilliant," "effort," or "shining" are all beautiful ways people have affectionately described my journey over the past year. I appreciate those things, but honestly, I feel that the past year has been more of a long journey of effort and growth. Behind the moments that have been seen are many times I've spent learning, adjusting, and reinventing myself through each stage and each project. There were times when I was very busy and under a lot of pressure, but I'm grateful that I still maintained the energy to keep going and pursue my career with a passionate heart.
Therefore, if what Chi has done over the past year has made the audience feel "brilliant" or "shining," then Chi considers it a stroke of luck. As for herself, Chi simply thinks that she has tried her best in every opportunity given to her, and is still continuing to learn every day to be more worthy of the love that the audience has given her.
• Looking back on your journey at Sing!Asia , the fan meeting, and other shows, big and small, did you ever think you had accomplished so much?
• Looking back, Chi is surprised by her own achievements. When caught up in the whirlwind of work, Chi often focuses solely on doing her best on each stage and each show, so sometimes she doesn't stop to think about how far she's come.
Only when the whole year came to a close, and I attended prestigious awards ceremonies, did I have the chance to look back on the entire journey and realize how quickly everything had happened. However, my biggest feeling isn't pride in having accomplished so much, but gratitude for having had the opportunity to experience so much in such a short time. I believe I'm still on a learning journey. What has passed are milestones worth cherishing, but also reminders to keep striving harder. Because for me, what's important isn't how much I've accomplished, but how much passion I still have to continue on my musical path.
When undertaking projects with constant travel schedules and a high workload, Chi's health is inevitably affected at times. This is especially true during periods of consecutive shows or changes in time zones and weather. The pressure of work sometimes makes her body more tired than usual. However, Chi feels very fortunate to always have a team of assistants and crew behind her, supporting and taking care of her. They monitor her work schedule, remind her to rest at the right time, support her health, and arrange everything so that she can complete her work while maintaining the best possible physical condition. Thanks to this, even though she's busy, she avoids being overloaded for extended periods.
Furthermore, Chi's team is professional and proactive, allowing her to focus entirely on her professional aspects such as rehearsals, performances, and musical preparation. Having strong and reliable teammates behind her makes her feel more in sync, enabling her to dedicate herself fully to her work while still having the necessary breaks to recharge for the long road ahead.
Does Phuong My Chi feel regretful about not having more time to spend with her family because of her busy performance schedule?
Actually, I don't feel too disadvantaged or regretful about being away from my family, because I'm very lucky that my parents often accompany me on many of my performance tours. With my parents by my side, no matter how busy my schedule is, I always feel like I'm bringing my family along on my career journey. That helps me feel much more secure and confident.
