Tuan Hung's music night was abruptly stopped, authorities spoke up
Director of Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports To Van Dong said that the Department did not know about Tuan Hung's concert being canceled. Previously, Ba Dinh District Police also issued an official dispatch regarding this incident.
On the evening of October 5, just 2 hours before the performance, the concert celebrating Tuan Hung's 20th year of singing with the theme "Wild Horse" was suddenly stopped for "special reasons".
Sharing about this issue, Director of Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports To Van Dong said: "We have sent our colleagues to the area. They have reported to the organizing unit and have a proper contract. Since the unfortunate incident at the music night at West Lake, the Department has asked our colleagues to strictly follow the related procedures. Currently, we still do not know the reason for the stop," Mr. To Van Dong shared.
The Director of the Department of Culture and Information said that Tuan Hung's music night requested a license from the Department of Culture, in principle, the Department will decide to stop the license for these music nights. However, if for a very special reason, the Ba Dinh District People's Committee can request a stop, but before requesting, the Department must be notified.
"I support stopping the program if it is for a very special reason, but the Department must still be notified. But we currently do not know what that special reason is and have not been notified," said Mr. To Van Dong.
Tuan Hung felt sad and helpless when the concert was suddenly stopped. |
