However, in the entire status, he did not have a single sentence denying the accusations being made against him. The manager mostly just spoke vaguely or alluded.
He wrote: "I may be immoral or lack self-respect, but I have never been ashamed of what I have done for you and I have promised myself never to harm you, even when you were forced to do something so obvious that you harmed me."
Tang Nhat Tue's status was aimed at his former students outside the company who were "following the flow of anger, taking advantage of the situation to add a few lightly fabricated events to lower my reputation and that of their former colleagues". He also said that his former students were reasonable people, and might have been incited to do this to gain a position in the profession.
Regarding his personal love life, Tang Nhat Tue declared that he "has had a girlfriend for 6 years, the whole showbiz and I know about my husband and I, especially when we are in the same group". He predicted that in the near future, his former student will launch a product and wished for this product to be noticed.

However, netizens believe that this status has not given a clear response to all the accusations, which include "sexual harassment, beating on the street, locking him up and not allowing him to use his phone, then kicking him out of the band and banning him from showbiz for 3 years".
On social networks, many comments said that the male singer should have a more straightforward and clear response to the current rumors, instead of telling too many personal stories from the past in an insinuating way like this status.
