Pham The Bang

Of the performers in this catalogue’s Vietnamese section, Pham The Bang (Vietnamese: Phạm Thế Bằng) has the most credits with a single production company. All six entries on his record were made by RL Studio, and two of them are held here: he is Vi in The Star Always Follows You (2022) and takes the lead as Khoa in Stupid Genius (2023).

BL Watcher, reviewing Stupid Genius, sets out the sequence plainly: his first BL project was Stupid Boys Stupid Love in 2021, followed by You Are My Sunshine (2021), You Are My Stupid Boy (2022), The Star Always Follows You (2022) and Stupid Genius (2023). The Movie Database agrees on all five and adds a sixth, Fight for Love, dated 2025, in which he plays Thế Vinh across seven episodes. None of the four titles outside this catalogue has a record here.

The character names move around more than the pattern of the credits does. TMDB has him as Châu in Stupid Boys Stupid Love, as Khoa in both You Are My Sunshine and You Are My Stupid Boy, as Vĩ in The Star Always Follows You, and as Khoa again in Stupid Genius. The repetition of a name across separate productions is a habit of this studio rather than evidence that the roles are connected, and no source suggests the series share a continuity.

The step up matters. In The Star Always Follows You he is one of eleven credited performers in a supporting part; in Stupid Genius he carries six episodes as one of the two leads. TMDB records the episode counts that make that visible, nine and six respectively, with him in every episode of the second.

Nothing personal could be verified. TMDB gives Vietnam as his place of birth with no city and leaves the birthday field empty; there is no Wikipedia article and no MyDramaList entry. Handles for two social accounts appear against his database entry, but neither could be opened and confirmed from here, so no link is published. Everything blank on this page is blank for that reason.
