Producer of 'Who is that person' apologizes after Tran Thanh's wrong statement

On the evening of May 23, the crew of Who Is That Person spoke up to admit their mistake in providing information about NPAK's gender transition process. When contacted by Zing reporters, the crew briefly replied: "Due to an editing error, in episode 1 of the program, the details of the character NPAK talking about the origin of the scar on his arm were not conveyed according to the content shared by the character. We sincerely apologize to NPAK and the audience."

According to Zing reporter, by the evening of May 23, the subtitles and controversial speech of Tran Thanh were removed from the full version of episode 1 posted on the official channel of Who is that person.

Since the morning of May 23, the show Who is that and MC Tran Thanh have become the center of controversy. The information Tran Thanh and his crew gave in the first episode is said to be inaccurate about the gender transition process.

Specifically, when introducing NPAK - a transgender contestant from female to male - Tran Thanh shared: "He used to be a woman. This hand, people had to open the blood vessels and put hormones and everything in to change gender."

The program also put a subtitle in NPAK's self-introduction: "The doctor opened a vein under my arm to inject hormones into my body."

Doctor Nguyen Khoa Binh said that injecting male hormones, specifically testosterone, into the bloodstream is contraindicated.

Dr. Nguyen Khoa Binh said: “ This is very dangerous because it can guide people to inject hormones in the wrong way. In medicine, testosterone is used a lot, not just for transgender people. Testosterone is like oil, it does not dissolve in water. Injecting it into the blood can cause embolism. If the embolism is in a large blood vessel or in the lungs, it can cause extremely dangerous complications. Testosterone can only be injected into the muscle.”
