On September 20th, during the final round of the competition, Duc Phuc mesmerized both the audience and the judges with a soul-stirring rendition of “Phu Dong Thien Vuong.” Composed by the renowned Ho Hoai Anh and inspired by Nguyen Duy’s poem “Vietnamese Bamboo,” the song powerfully encapsulates the resilience and untapped strength of the Vietnamese spirit.

Duc Phuc’s innovative fusion of traditional folk elements with contemporary rap left an indelible mark on the international panel and viewers alike. His performance earned a record-breaking 422 points—the highest in Intervision history—surpassing Nomad Trio from Kyrgyzstan (373 points) and Dana Al Meer of Qatar (369 points). This triumph secured him the unprecedented prize of 30 million rubles (approximately $360,000), the largest ever awarded in the contest’s legacy.

Beyond personal acclaim, Duc Phuc’s victory amplifies Vietnam’s artistic prowess, creativity, and cultural integration on the global stage, solidifying its position in international music.

Promptly following the announcement, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh issued a heartfelt congratulatory letter, lauding Duc Phuc’s unwavering dedication and monumental achievement. The PM emphasized that this victory not only honors the artist but also elevates Vietnam’s contemporary music and cultural identity.

He expressed hope that this milestone would inspire Duc Phuc and fellow Vietnamese artists to continue pushing creative boundaries, showcasing Vietnam’s heritage globally, and motivating younger generations to contribute meaningfully to society.

Duc Phuc’s Intervision 2025 triumph holds special significance, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of his breakthrough win at The Voice Vietnam 2015. From his rise on a televised talent show to a decade of relentless dedication, his journey has culminated in this international pinnacle.
