Minh Dao, Uong Mong Van, and even Korean singer Seolhyun are names that have been criticized for having tasted bat meat in the past - the animal believed to be the source of the spread of the corona virus.

Actor Ming Dao is one of the names criticized when fans brought up a video of him eating bats in the past. This is quite sensitive recently because bats are believed to be the cause of the epidemic related to the corona virus. Netizens asked Ming Dao to apologize to the audience, even withdraw from showbiz because of this act of eating bats.

Ming Dao ate bat meat in 2002 while filming for a show that challenged artists to eat wild animals, including bats. While some criticized him, many also spoke up to defend his idol. They said that Ming Dao only ate bat meat to pass the challenge of this game.

Seolhyun, a member of the K-pop group AOA, was also "dug up" for eating bat meat on the show "The Law of the Jungle". Accordingly, she was invited to eat bat meat by people in the filming area. Photos showing the female singer calmly eating grilled bat meat spread everywhere.

She seemed to not hesitate to try this wild food when invited. There are still two-sided opinions about these images. The audience thinks that the ones to blame are the ones who created this situation. The fact that artists eat meat of unknown origin will also create bad consequences..

Previously, MC Uong Mong Van faced a lot of criticism when she revealed a clip of herself eating bat soup in a tourism promotion program in June 2016. In the clip, she and a friend were very excited to enjoy this dish. They even praised the bat soup as very delicious.

After the video went viral, many people openly criticized the female MC. She also had to apologize. "I apologize to everyone for my ignorance. From now on, I will not eat wild animals anymore," the female MC expressed.

Amid the corona pandemic, Diep Tuyen also recounted that she had an unpleasant experience when the producer of a program forced her to eat bat meat while filming. Some artists who participated with her reacted and were criticized by the crew for being unprofessional, uncooperative or having a star attitude.

Diep Tuyen believes that not all artists are willing to eat wild animals in response to the challenge. Although they feel very uncomfortable, they are forced to show their excitement and enjoyment of the strange dish in front of the camera. "Let's work together to promote: Ban the use of wild animal meat dishes in games," she called.
