Expensive lesson from Dam Vinh Hung's scandal

Việt NamViệt Nam13/01/2025

Which star is the “unluckiest” in Vietnamese entertainment in 2024? Without much thought, those interested in Vietnamese entertainment can read right away: Dam Vinh Hung.

Not only was he suspended for 9 months due to the issue of his performance attire, he was also involved in a lawsuit with an American technology billionaire, which has yet to end. His “self-indulgent” movie about his life, Glorious Aura, is now nowhere to be found.

Build yourself and destroy yourself

Now, when Dam Vinh Hung interacts with his audience, in addition to likes and hearts, he also receives countless smileys. For example, he posts photos and New Year greetings to his audience near and far… on Facebook, where he has 6.5 million followers.

As a result, Dam Vinh Hung attracted the attention of more than 12,000 people with different expressions: 1,152 hearts, 2,831 smiley faces, 299 angry faces, 19 sad faces...

The account recognized as a lifelong fan of Dam Vinh Hung commented: "Happy New Year, good luck to Idol" but also received 130 smiley faces, only 20 likes. This is the consequence of a series of scandals in 2024 of the person who was once known (or claimed to be) the "king of Vietnamese music".

Amidst the noisy lawsuit of the singer of Sad City, during a chat at home Thuy Nga and Quang Le said: "Thuy Nga feeds me so much longan, if I get fat I will sue Thuy Nga". Thuy Nga replied: "After hearing Quang Le say that, I don't want to invite you to eat anything. If I sue you like that, even if I sell 10 boxes of longan, I still won't have enough money to pay for it".

At this time, although Dam Vinh Hung still shares about his peaceful daily life with his smart and cute son, who knows the waves inside his soul? The lawsuit demanding compensation for a huge amount of money, enough to be on par with millionaire stars in the world of entertainment, ultimately did not bring Dam Vinh Hung any money, but brought him many troubles.

Quang Le pretending to threaten: “I have to go through a garden to get to Thuy Nga’s house. Thuy Nga doesn’t trim it, so the grass is growing wildly on the stairs to the door. If I accidentally fall down the stairs, I’ll sue you, so be careful.”

Many people think that Quang Le is "teasing" Dam Vinh Hung.

In 2015, Quang Le was "confronted" by Dam Vinh Hung when they fought over a candy boy who had a voice similar to an overseas bolero "star".

Dam Vinh Hung thinks that Quang Le has “stolen” his “chicken”. Therefore, he sent a public message: “If you like to test your brains with me, I am willing to play with you.”

In the game show Bolero Idol 2017, Dam Vinh Hung and Quang Le sat in the hot seat together. During the contestant fight, Dam Vinh Hung did not hesitate to stand up and point at Quang Le: "Now I just realized you are very good at turning your back on me."

Looking back at the past, Dam Vinh Hung did not only displease Quang Le. Even musician Nguyen Anh 9, who is 9 years old and has a long career, Dam Vinh Hung was not afraid. Musician Nguyen Anh 9 had frank comments about many "stars" of Vietnamese music, including Dam Vinh Hung: "In the past, if Dam Vinh Hung sang, he would only be a C-class singer singing for backing up, not a main singer in a tea room."

Dam Vinh Hung immediately responded with a heartfelt letter on his personal page, calling musician Nguyen Anh 9 a “hypocrite”. After that, public opinion was in an uproar, Dam Vinh Hung himself had to go to the big hotel where Nguyen Anh 9 played the piano, give him flowers, hug him, and kiss him on the cheek to make up. But “repairing a broken mirror” is not easy.

11 years have passed, Nguyen Anh 9 has passed away but the audience still remembers this noise. Now, when Dam Vinh Hung enters a difficult period in work and life, many audiences sit down to review Dam Vinh Hung's uncultured behavior towards colleagues, including his behavior towards the late musician Nguyen Anh 9.

"Where are the glorious days now?"

Dam Vinh Hung’s journey to becoming a “star” should be an endless source of inspiration for poor children who wish to change their living conditions. Dam Vinh Hung does not hide his past as a barber. He once returned to his old neighborhood, where his hair salon was located, and shared many times about the time when he “didn’t dare order a bowl of beef noodle soup, he just asked for more water to put on his rice”.

Dam Vinh Hung is the first person to claim to be the "king" in a film project about himself in Vietnam.

Famous for quite a long time and becoming a powerful face in the entertainment industry, Dam Vinh Hung has not forgotten his difficult past but still considers himself "one, unique, and number one", not afraid or respectful of anyone. His shocking statements also come from his arrogance, causing the audience to gradually lose sympathy.

Three years ago, a businesswoman “played” Dam Vinh Hung. She declared that she had bought all the tickets to his music nights at the tea room. True to her word, she bought 80 mini-show tickets at Dam Vinh Hung’s tea room on the first day of Tet. This created great curiosity.

The 2024 entertainment industry scandal also called Nam Thu's name, when the actress was accused of stealing her husband. ZD account posted an article accusing the person known as "the beauty of the comedy village" of renting a homestay from her family and then stealing her husband. Nam Thu held a press conference and denied stealing her husband but did not improve much in the eyes of the audience. The private scandals of artists are enough to "kill" them. Nam Thu, Hien Ho, Hong Dang... are proof.

Crowds gathered on both sides of the street to see the wealthy businesswoman meet Dam Vinh Hung. It can be said that the first person to destroy Dam Vinh Hung's "brilliant halo" was the person who spent money to buy tickets to his tea room.

In March 2023, the director duo Bao Nhan - Nam Cito and Dam Vinh Hung announced the film project Glorious Glory - The King about Dam Vinh Hung's 25-year career.

Without even knowing how the movie turned out, the movie's title was already ridiculed, because of its arrogance and self-aggrandizement. Faced with the wave of public opinion, Dam Vinh Hung shortened the movie's title, not daring to call himself king anymore.

This project was scheduled to be released in 2024, but the new year has come, where is the movie "Glorious Halo"? I wonder if it will be released? He invested in making a bolero live show "The Day I Light the Stars" with the advertisement "the last bolero live show". "The Day I Light the Stars" also marked the decline of Dam Vinh Hung.

Wearing a performance costume with a strange badge, he was banned from performing for 9 months and fined 27.5 million VND. No artist in our country has ever been banned from performing for many months because of a costume issue like Dam Vinh Hung.

At this time, although Dam Vinh Hung still shares about his peaceful daily life with his smart and cute son, who knows the waves inside his soul? The lawsuit demanding compensation for a huge amount of money, enough to be on par with millionaire stars in the world entertainment industry, ultimately did not bring Dam Vinh Hung any money, but caused him a lot of trouble. Many Vietnamese audiences have warned Dam Vinh Hung to be careful of being counter-sued. That is the situation at the moment.

Ironically, while Dam Vinh Hung sued for millions of dollars, the counter-suer only asked for $2 in compensation. One person asked for compensation for the losses, the other only asked for honor, not money. Such a difference!

During this turbulent time, many audiences expressed their turn away from the "king of Vietnamese music" by mocking his name: "Dam Vinh Hung - Dam Vinh Biet".
