CEO Nguyen Phuong Hang confessed to being very confused when she learned she had violated copyright.
Recently, in a short livestream, CEO Nguyen Phuong Hang confessed that when she sang and remixed the lyrics of the song "Doan buon dem mua" by Tu Nhi (famous singer Che Linh) and Vinh Su, she had no idea who the author was. She also had no knowledge of copyright, so she freely remixed the lyrics of this song into the songs "T30 va toi" and "Mua An Phuoc".

"Everyone encouraged Uncle Che Linh to sue me for copyright infringement, but I still believe one thing, a person with a personality like you, a famous musician like you will never do that. My sixth sense tells me, you will never do that.
When I heard people say I violated copyright by rewriting the lyrics of the song "Doan buon dem mua", I was quite confused because I didn't understand much about music copyright. One day, I will publicly thank you in front of the public. And if fate allows, I will invite you to Vietnam to perform", CEO Nguyen Phuong Hang sent a message to famous singer Che Linh.
CEO Nguyen Phuong Hang also added that she really loves the voice and music of famous singer Che Linh. Not only her, but her parents also loved Che Linh's music. She really wants to invite the famous singer to return to the country to organize a live show at Dai Nam Tourist Area because "I have nothing but conditions".
Talking to Dan Viet in a rather long document called "Letter of Voice", famous singer Che Linh said: "Recently, Ms. Nguyen Phuong Hang sang the song "Doan buon dem mua" at Dai Nam Tourist Area after she was released. In my opinion, it was very simple, because she liked this song and wanted to make everyone happy, not seeking profit, so there was no need to speak up... But the YouTubers exploited it too much, created too many headlines to attract views, causing a stir in the online community.
Honestly, I don't really care about making up lyrics to sing for fun... My songs were made up a lot before 1975 on the streets of Saigon. Like the case of Ms. Nguyen Phuong Hang making up lyrics for "T30 and I" and "An Phuoc Rain", the emotions and moods match the melody of the song. So I hope that YouTubers should not fabricate or fabricate stories, leading to unnecessary noise, pushing the story too far."
According to famous singer Che Linh, after the article "Did CEO Nguyen Phuong Hang violate music copyright?" was published on Dan Viet on October 2, 2024, many people texted him asking him to speak up about this. However, he found this matter not worth speaking up about because he felt that CEO Nguyen Phuong Hang must have loved this song so much that she changed the lyrics and turned it into a song expressing her feelings in prison.

Regarding the copyright story of the song "Doan buon dem mua", famous singer Che Linh emphasized that he talked a lot about the origin of this song, which he composed, then gave it to musician Vinh Su to apply for a license from the competent authority to print and sell.

"At that time, I was already famous, but Vinh Su was not yet a famous musician in Saigon. When I saw a young man holding a stack of Ronios printed papers, which were songs he had composed and printed himself, and invited customers to buy, I felt sorry for him, so I invited Vinh Su to Kim Son restaurant for a drink. After chatting at the restaurant, I learned that Vinh Su could not bring his songs to establishments such as Dien Hong, Minh Phat, Tinh Hoa Mien Nam or Tu Quynh... In the past, it was very difficult to be sold in these establishments. Products that wanted to be sold here had to be beautiful from the presentation to the song content. Music covers also needed people with design expertise, which Vinh Su at that time was very poor and could not meet.
I gave the idea to Vinh Su, you take this song (ie "Doan buon dem mua") to ask for permission to print and sell, I will introduce it to the sales centers. I have recorded this song for the Vietnamese record company, sung it on the radio and a few times on stage so music lovers already know about it...
If I sold it to music stores, this song would have cost no less than 50,000 VND in 1968 and 1969. But I helped him without taking a penny and even spent money on a meal at Kim Son restaurant. From that song, it was sold in stores, and Vinh Su's name became known from then on... However, I agreed to help Vinh Su sing some songs such as: Nhan co cho em , Chuyen xe lam chieu ... Later, Vinh Su rose to fame, but I still haven't had a single drink from musician Vinh Su," famous singer Che Linh added.
Responding to BH Media's opinion that "The property rights of famous singer Che Linh to the song "Doan buon dem mua" ended after he gave this song to musician Vinh Su", famous singer Che Linh said that these were very irresponsible statements.
According to the male singer, in the past, he gave musician Vinh Su the right to print this song for sale without any paperwork, just a promise to help his friend was enough, meaning that only musician Vinh Su had the right to exploit and benefit, not the right to sell or give it away to others.
"For example, I have an extra house so I help Vinh Su move in, without having to pay rent. If Vinh Su does not live there anymore, he will return the house to me. But the buyer of this house, BH Media, did not check the documents related to the sale or transfer. In the case of my song "Doan buon dem mua", I only gave the party concerned, musician Vinh Su, the right to exploit it and everything was agreed upon orally, there was no transfer or deposit document...", famous singer Che Linh affirmed.
