Singer Thanh Duy speaks out when accused of 'using gender to promote his name'
Thanh Duy shared that at present he does not care about negative comments but only focuses on doing things he likes that make him happy and comfortable.
Appearing at the event, Thanh Duy expressed his pride that the LGBT community has more meaningful programs and activities dedicated to the community, helping people understand and love each other more.
Not long ago, Thanh Duy debuted his drag queen image Delilah and attracted everyone's attention. Talking to us about his life when he publicly revealed his personal photos, Thanh Duy said he is more confident and open, no longer doubting himself or being shy about expressing himself. The male singer said he is currently working hard to write music for this character. "The songs for Delilah will also be filled with the spirit of enjoying yourself and the present moment. Genuine emotions, feelings, the desire to love and be loved on the charming and energetic disco background music, Delilah is the embodiment of a free and liberal spirit, loving yourself with a pure heart and emotions", he revealed.
Thanh Duy affirmed that understanding himself and knowing how to enjoy every moment helped him become happier and more open. "It wasn't until I released the character Delilah that I was happy, but in the journey of finding myself, when that character appeared, I enjoyed every bit of it," he confided.
Thanh Duy said that in Vietnam today, he seems to be a rare artist who performs in two forms: Thanh Duy and Delilah. The 8X singer shared: “The character Delilah has only appeared a few times. At first, there were many mixed opinions, not only from the audience but also from people in the community. When doing something new and different, there will be people who do not accept it and leave. But as long as you persevere for a while, new people with understanding and sympathy will come and give you strength for your journey. Since my debut, I am very grateful to be able to bring this character everywhere and perform with everyone. That is happiness for me." Talking about some opinions that he uses gender to promote his name, the male singer frankly said: "Whatever people say is fine, it is not as important as me understanding myself."
As the event organizer, a TikTok representative said this is the third consecutive year that TikTok has honored the #ForYourPride journey (#TuHaoDaSac) with the hope that everyone can freely create and confidently shine, a place where users can find the community they belong to.
