On 18/7, the singer released the music video (MV) "Dan Mat," marking a significant step forward after his participation in the hit 2024 music show. "I felt the pressure knowing many fans were anticipating this project. I poured my heart and soul, and all my resources, into creating the best possible product after seven years of singing," JSol said.

Reflecting on his music career, JSol acknowledged facing numerous challenges. His previous MVs hadn't achieved the desired impact, with many believing he was "just a pretty face" or "hadn't found his direction."
According to JSol, there was a time he felt lost and even considered quitting. "My biggest obstacle was a lack of self-belief. I was full of doubts and afraid to step outside my comfort zone," he said.

In 2024, when his management company suggested he join "Intoxicated Brothers," JSol initially declined. He didn't feel drawn to competitive shows. However, after some reflection, he decided to give it one last shot. If it didn't work out, he'd explore other paths. Throughout the competition, he produced several hits, connected with new colleagues, and gained a large fan base. JSol felt like "everything was turning a new page."
The singer expressed his gratitude: "I'm thankful to the program and the audience for helping me regain my confidence. I've never felt so self-aware and eager to contribute."

JSol's team is guiding him towards a youthful music style, catering to Gen Z. Khac Hung helps JSol with song selection and is collaborating on a series of projects, including an MV and an EP to be released later this year. According to the musician, after knowing JSol for 10 years, he now sees him "embracing music in a way that truly reflects his personality."
Fellow artists like Duc Phuc, Hoa Minzy, Ali Hoang Duong, and Vu Thao My praised JSol's "transformation" in style and his serious investment in his work.
