From a boyband member to one of Vietnam’s most successful solo artists, Isaac has proven that his appeal extends far beyond his appearance. His lasting popularity also reflects years of discipline and dedication to maintaining both his image and his craft.

Isaac has become one of the most talked-about names after recently appearing on TC Candler’s nomination list for the 100 Most Handsome Faces of 2026. The Vietnamese singer was introduced alongside prominent international entertainment figures including model Ana Isabel Rosso, model Cele Aloe, actress Deepika Padukone, singer Dita Karang and actress Pattranite Limpatiyakorn.

Being nominated for the 100 Most Handsome Faces of 2026 comes as little surprise to many fans. For years, Isaac has been regarded as one of V-pop’s most striking male artists, known for his masculine features, athletic physique and sophisticated style.

Isaac, whose real name is Pham Luu Tuan Tai, was born in 1988 in Can Tho. He first gained widespread recognition as the leader of 365daband, the boyband founded by Ngo Thanh Van in 2010.

During his years with 365, Isaac became known for his handsome image, strong dance skills and charismatic stage presence. The group quickly established itself as one of the most successful boybands in Vietnamese pop music, producing a string of hits popular among young audiences.

After 365 disbanded in 2016, Isaac embarked on a solo career. The move marked a major turning point, as he had to step out from the shadow of a famous group and establish his own identity as an artist.

In the years that followed, he explored a variety of musical styles while also expanding into film, reality television and other entertainment projects. His meticulous approach to every production has helped him maintain a stable and respected position within Vietnam’s music industry.

Beyond music, Isaac has also become a sought-after face for fashion and beauty brands thanks to his polished appearance and strong public image.

At 38, he continues to surprise audiences with his youthful looks. Whether on stage or in fashion editorials, the singer frequently receives praise for maintaining an appearance that seems largely unchanged from the early days of his career.

Isaac has previously shared that maintaining his appearance is not the result of short-term effort but rather a disciplined lifestyle. He places particular emphasis on regular exercise, making time for the gym regardless of how busy his schedule becomes. Staying active helps him maintain his physique, flexibility and energy levels for demanding performance schedules.

In addition to exercise, he pays close attention to nutrition. The singer has repeatedly highlighted the importance of portion control, limiting oily foods and following a balanced diet.

Another principle he consistently follows is maintaining healthy sleep habits. According to Isaac, quality sleep plays a vital role in skin health, overall well-being and the body’s ability to recover after long periods of intensive work.
