After a two year long hiatus, Khắc Việt, recently, has come back on the Vietnamese music scene with his latest MV named “Hiện Tại”.

When he dropped his luxurious facade and came to his true self as a hotel receptionist, Khắc Việt disappointed the girls by revealing his poverty.

The message of this song sounds reality nowadays. In Love, money is one of important things that decide they can stay together until the end or not, I guess. So sad but true
I think the message through the song: in this current life everything has to be paid with money, including love…
