The recent Lunar New Year marked the fourth time Jun Pham celebrated Tet alone. His father, Pham Van Thu, passed away in 6/2023 at 73 years old. His mother had also passed away many years prior.

During the year-end days, Jun Pham cleaned and cooked simple meals, with his two cats, Be Ni and Be Na, affectionately by his side.

The singer's residence is located in Ho Chi Minh City's Landmark 81 area. Having moved into the apartment years ago, he personally arranged each corner in a minimalist style. Jun Pham furnished the interior with neutral tones, creating a warm ambiance. After his father passed, he kept the belongings as a way to preserve memories.

The singer's life is less solitary thanks to the companionship of his two cats. Over time, his pets have become an indispensable part of his life. "I call them 'my children', refer to myself as 'their father', and consider them family members," Jun Pham stated.

Jun Pham finds peace when feeding, petting, or singing to his cats. "On days I feel tired, just watching them lie nearby makes all the pressure vanish," the singer shared.

He often reads books, watches movies, and plays with Ni and Na in the living room.

The balcony is Jun Pham's favorite spot each morning. He often sits and drinks coffee while his cats sunbathe beside him.

According to the singer, caring for pets has significantly changed his emotional state, helping him maintain stability, learn patience, and live a slower pace of life. "They also taught me unconditional love. When I feel lonely, I just open the door and see my two 'children' run out to greet me, and I know I'm not alone," he said.

Occasionally, Jun Pham invites friends and relatives to his home to eat, drink, and chat. His two cats are also cherished by guests. On one occasion, the singer even brought his pets to fan meetings.

In his 30s, the singer chooses a self-reliant life, valuing privacy. Jun Pham stated that he no longer seeks grand things but cherishes simple joys each day.

He views his living space as a source of artistic inspiration. Many of Jun Pham's ideas for music and writing originate from this small home.
