What specifically are the failures that Truong Minh Cuong talks about?

– There was a period when I was exhausted, lost my career, my family, lost everything.

I didn’t expect that after that decision, I would face many great lessons about failure and mistakes.

However, for a long time, the audience did not see him make any moves to show his drastic return to art?

– Everything has a reason.

I was extremely shy so I kept hesitating, waiting for a moment, waiting for a suitable opportunity.

So Truong Minh Cuong was personally invited by director Ly Hai to participate in `Face Off 7: One Wish`?

Has Truong Minh Cuong’s acting changed after 12 years of hiatus?

– When I first accepted the role, I was very carefree.

Fortunately, when I act, I receive many compliments, which makes me more excited and more confident in my profession.

For me, the role of Hai Khon is a psychologically heavy role, very difficult, especially when I just returned after 12 years away from art.

Returning to art, is Truong Minh Cuong afraid of his personal life and past being dissected?

– As a celebrity, my private life will certainly receive attention from the audience.

My mother and I love each other very much, but we are not together.

Mom’s health is still good, but lately, being away from me makes her sad because she misses me.

– My two children are currently 11 and 14 years old.
