Noo Phuoc Thinh Facts
- Noo Phuoc Thinh’s birth name is Nguyen Phuoc Thinh. Since his birthday falls very close to Christmas, his parents had wanted to name him Noel. However, as they realized that Noel could be slightly difficult for some elderly people in their house and neighborhood to pronounce, they started calling their son ‘No’. When somebody pointed that this name was ‘too negative’, they added an extra ‘O’ to it and began calling him ‘Noo’. This name stuck and once his music career took off, he had chosen to use Noo Phuoc Thinh as his stage name.
- During his university days, he had become a photo model which had led to acting roles in films such as Kaleidoscope and a few other supporting roles.

They would go on to collaborate on multiple songs in the future.
