On the evening of April 19, through the social networking site Thread, MC Bich Hong officially apologized. She shared: "I send my most sincere and deepest apologies to all of you for not being careful with your words and statements on social networks. As a child of the city, I feel very happy that the city is growing and moving towards the 50th anniversary of the country's reunification. I realize the sacred and important meaning of the series of events welcoming the 50th anniversary of the country's reunification. This is also an opportunity for each child of the country today, the generation living in peace , to express deep gratitude to the generation of fathers and brothers who sacrificed to build this peace."

The female MC admitted her mistake when she could not control her personal emotions, saying that she was impulsive and rash, leading to inappropriate statements.

Netizens react strongly

MC Bich Hong's apology post quickly attracted the attention of netizens. However, many people still expressed their dissatisfaction with her apology for the incident. In addition, the fact that she posted an apology and blocked comments also made many people angry. On some forums sharing Bich Hong's apology post, netizens left many "angry" icons and harshly criticized her.

An angry viewer: "Unforgivable, personal thoughts are too distorted. She only apologized when she lost her job, writing an apology makes me 10 times more angry. But just apologizing is not enough..." Another account left a comment: "As an MC, you have to know what to say and what not to say. You can't say what you like and then when you're criticized, you just apologize and that's it. As an MC, you can't control your words because you're frustrated, and your explanation is hard to accept." "You should think 7 times before speaking... You apologized because you were criticized and the station terminated your cooperation, right? What's the point of writing an apology now? It won't save you from quitting your job," a viewer wrote. Another viewer said: "Apologizing for losing your job, otherwise, with that kind of mindset, you definitely won't admit your mistakes. You can't complain about traffic jams, but what about saying "no pride"? Saying 'very annoying' and then 'very happy', isn't it too fake?"...

The female MC has now locked her social networking sites.

Thanks to that, instead of 45 minutes from District 12 to District 7, it's now an hour and a half and we're still inching along the street. As someone born and raised in Saigon, I'm not happy, not excited, just proud. Very annoying." After facing harsh reactions from netizens, the female MC deleted the post and locked all social media accounts.
