Famous after the incident
At the event, Le Tuan Khang was named in the category of Entertainment Content Creator of the Year, but the screen showed TikToker Khiet Dan.

The incident did not stop there when Khiet Dan and his group of famous TikToker friends (Diep Le, Gon Pink...) made a video "teasing" people who supported Le Tuan Khang.

Meanwhile, Le Tuan Khang did not respond and maintained a gentle attitude. From here, the wave of support for Le Tuan Khang and criticism of Khiet Dan and his friends became more intense.
Khiet Dan and the members of the group later apologized to Le Tuan Khang for being careless and tactless.
