The lead actors of the 1997 Vietnamese television series ‘Dat Phuong Nam’ have transitioned into various professional fields decades after the show’s success. 

Hung Thuan, who gained national fame playing the character ‘Be An’, faced difficulties maintaining his popularity in music and acting. After several unsuccessful business ventures, he moved into the real estate industry, eventually establishing his own brokerage company in 2021. 

Other cast members, such as Phung Ngoc, have also moved away from the entertainment spotlight to pursue different livelihoods.
