She joined Han Sara and MC Tran Ngoc in Thanh Hoa, enjoying local dishes like banh gai, eel porridge, and rare beef salad with lime. |
Ngo Lan Huong and Han Sara completed a challenge to prepare a bowl of eel porridge, a common breakfast dish for people in Thanh Hoa.
In a revealed scene from the porridge shop, Ngo Lan Huong spontaneously sang a segment of "Di Giua Troi Ruc Ro" for the diners, a hit with 78 million listens on her YouTube channel.

About seven years ago, Ngo Lan Huong gained recognition for her cover songs, which garnered millions of views on YouTube. She produced these videos in her room, accompanying herself on guitar while performing hits like "Hay Trao Cho Anh" (Son Tung M-TP), "Sang Mat Chua" (Mew Amazing), and "Hoa No Khong Mau" (Nguyen Minh Cuong). |
"Di Giua Troi Ruc Ro" served as the theme song for the television series of the same name, significantly boosting the singer's popularity. The song features a bright melody and motivational lyrics for young people. In 2024, the track received the Inspirational Music Award at Vietnam iContent.
Ngo Lan Huong was born into a family without an artistic tradition, yet her parents fostered her inspiration, enrolling her in a children's cultural center from a young age. During kindergarten, she led the art team and participated in plays.

In 2017, she competed in "Giong hat Viet" (The Voice of Vietnam) as a contestant on Toc Tien's team. Following the competition, Ngo Lan Huong began a professional music career, releasing a series of self-composed songs such as "Anh Muon Dua Em Ve Khong" and "Yeu Dung So Dau". Initially, these songs were not widely known. Later, snippets from the songs became popular, widely used on TikTok.
Last year, the singer ventured into the "Em xinh say hi" competition. Early on, she faced psychological barriers, concerned that audiences might not appreciate her personality and performance style. Gradually, she grew more comfortable expressing herself, guided by her senior colleagues.
Despite an early exit, Ngo Lan Huong made a mark by contributing to the success of several songs including "Da Xinh Con Thong Minh", "Easier", and "Red Flag".

In January, Ngo Lan Huong released her first song not composed by her, "Co Cong Mai Sac". Due to its high impact, she launched an Afro version, filming scenes at the beach.

Ngo Lan Huong's latest release is the music video "Ve Di Thoi", showcasing the landscapes of various regions across Vietnam. The song evokes childhood memories and expresses love for her homeland.
