Kha Lau was a guest at Phuong My Chi's Lo Co concert on the evening of 10/1. The Chinese singer became close with Phuong My Chi after they both participated in Sing! Asia in 2025. On stage, they performed a duet of 'Tuy am', which differed from the mashup of 'Luc hai vi vuong' they had previously performed in the semi-finals.
During the performance, the two singers connected cultures as Kha Lau sang a line of Chinese opera. Phuong My Chi sang a Vong co (traditional Vietnamese folk song) line from the cai luong (Vietnamese traditional opera) piece 'Tieng trong Me Linh', evoking the heroic image of general Tran Trac: "But alas, my grand aspirations remain unfulfilled, and the path between life and death is coldly separated by sorrowful clouds." Each time they sang or harmonized, 3,000 audience members joined in or cheered, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
My Chi taught Kha Lau some Vietnamese phrases, such as how to introduce herself and ask, "Cac ban co khoe khong?" (How are you all?). When fans repeatedly called her name, the Chinese singer continuously said, "Cam on" (thank you).

Phuong My Chi welcomed Kha Lau to TP HCM one day before the event. They had a rehearsal session, followed by a program run-through. "I am happy to have invited her to participate in the event," My Chi said. Kha Lau stated that she valued their friendship and admired Phuong My Chi, so she did not hesitate, feeling even happier that the show coincided with her birthday.
Phuong My Chi surprised her friend by bringing a cake and singing 'Happy Birthday' to Kha Lau, which moved her to tears. My Chi described her colleague as talented and charming. Being the same age, they shared a strong connection. In mid-2025, when Kha Lau came to Vietnam to rehearse for her performance at Sing! Asia, My Chi took her out to eat and bought her an ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress).
Phuong My Chi, 23, from TP HCM, rose to fame at the age of 12 after becoming the runner-up in the first season of Giong hat Viet Nhi (The Voice Kids of Vietnam), creating a sensation with her performance of 'Que em mua nuoc lu'. Phuong My Chi has released several acclaimed music videos and albums, including 'Thuong ve mien Trung' (2017), '16 xuan trang' (2019), 'Bat nha thuyen' (2020), and 'Vu tru co bay' (2023).
In 2025, Phuong My Chi gained significant attention from Asian media after placing 3rd in Sing! Asia. At the show, she performed several segments that garnered millions of views, such as the mashup 'Ly Bac Bo - Day xe bo', 'Buon trang', 'Bong phu hoa', 'Vu tru co anh', and 'Chopsticks'. Domestically, Phuong My Chi won the 'Em xinh say hi' competition for the first time. She also starred in the film 'Nha gia tien' by director Huynh Lap, which grossed 242 billion VND.
Kha Lau is a Chinese singer and streamer who gained fame after participating in an Asian music talent search program. She is praised for her emotional vocals, strong technique, and versatile performance style. Previously, Kha Lau attracted attention on The Voice China in 2023.
