Singer Duy Mạnh's shocking statements have angered netizens, prompting calls for a boycott.

In recent days, singer Duy Mạnh has caused a public uproar due to his inappropriate remarks on his official Facebook page, Nguyen Duy Manh.

Duy Mạnh (born in 1975 in Hai Phong) is known as a singer and songwriter in Vietnam. In the early years of the last decade, Duy Mạnh attracted attention with his self-composed and performed songs such as:My love is like the ocean, a life of ups and downs, a past love affair, come back to me...

Currently, Duy Mạnh's career has lost some of its appeal. Instead, the "Kiep Do Den" singer attracts attention with his shocking statements and has been criticized on social media numerous times.

Misleading statements about Vietnam's sovereignty and maritime territories.

In recent days, singer Duy Mạnh has caused a public uproar due to his inappropriate remarks on his official Facebook page, Nguyen Duy Manh (with a blue verification tick).

Singer Duy Mạnh was summoned by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Information and Communications for "making false statements about maritime sovereignty," which are considered inappropriate and contrary to Vietnamese customs and traditions.

"The Department has sent an invitation to singer Duy Manh to come in for questioning to verify the information and take action if the singer is found to have violated regulations, as requested by the Department of Broadcasting, Television and Electronic Information (Ministry of Information and Communications)," said Nguyen Duc Tho, Chief Inspector of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Information and Communications.

According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Information and Communications, if singer Duy Manh is confirmed to be the owner of the Facebook account containing false statements, he will be penalized according to Decree 15, which came into effect in March of this year.

Accordingly, the male singer could face a maximum administrative fine of 20 million VND under Clause 1, Article 101 of Decree 15 and must remove the false information.

Statements about Vietnamese women cause outrage.

Duy Mạnh's remarks about Vietnamese women quickly became a topic of discussion and criticism from the online community.

Singer Duy Mạnh faced strong backlash from the public for making vulgar and shocking comments about Vietnamese women in a video clip featuring him and a foreign man. Duy Mạnh's remarks quickly became a topic of discussion and criticism on social media, with most viewers believing the singer's comments were rude and offensive to Vietnamese women. Even director Huỳnh Tấn Phát expressed his outrage on his personal page: "That is an extremely uncivilized act."

Later, singer Duy Mạnh unexpectedly posted a rather long article addressing the public's reaction to his statement about Vietnamese women. The male singer argued that those who criticized him after his statement had not distinguished between the two categories of "women" and "girls." "You guys can't distinguish between the two words, 'Vietnamese women' and 'Vietnamese girls'? 'Vietnamese girls' means unmarried girls or girls working in the sex industry. 'Vietnamese women' means mothers and wives," Duy Mạnh shared.

According to singer Duy Manh, his statement that Vietnamese women are "promiscuous" is irrelevant. "You guys are the ones comparing your mothers and wives to those women, aren't you? If you're talking about your mothers, you should say... 'My mother is a model of a Vietnamese woman,' not... 'My mother is a model of a Vietnamese girl,' right?"

Immediately after posting, Duy Mạnh's opinion continued to receive mixed reactions from the online community. Many netizens felt that the singer was "stubbornly arguing" after his "slip of the tongue" statement: "Ridiculous"; "A public figure who doesn't think before speaking"...

MC Phan Anh's ambiguous statement about doing charity work sparks controversy.

The singer of "Kiep Do Den" (A Life of Misfortune) received a negative reaction from many netizens.

Previously, singer Duy Mạnh caused a stir on social media when he unexpectedly made a statement alluding to an MC who called for charity but only used 3 billion VND for charity, pocketing the remaining 21 billion VND. Duy Mạnh didn't directly name anyone, only referring to them anonymously as "MC Lũ," but many fans believed the singer was targeting Phan Anh.

"Let me tell you the truth! That MC Lu... he rallied people to donate 24 billion VND to charity. He spent 3 billion VND buying instant noodles, fish sauce, rice, salt, shrimp paste, beef, pork... to distribute to the poor! The remaining 21 billion VND he pocketed..."

"If even parents and siblings don't trust each other, how can you trust a complete stranger? It's best to blame yourself. Why are you sometimes so stingy and miserly with your own family? And then so easily giving money to others to do charity on your behalf? Giving money to someone else to do charity is the most foolish thing you can do. You'll turn that person into a greedy person. They'll gain both fame and fortune, while you get nothing. Understood?" - Duy Mạnh shared.

Immediately afterwards, the singer of "Kiep Do Den" (A Life of Misfortune) received a backlash from a large number of netizens. Many people argued that as a public figure, Duy Manh should not share or make statements without evidence like that.

Shocking statement in the controversy with Tuan Hung.

In 2017, the controversy between Tuan Hung and Duy Manh attracted public attention. It began with Tuan Hung's cryptic status update on his personal page: "Envy will only keep you forever behind while everyone else is working hard and constantly striving. Look back at yourself and see how many brothers you have, how many kind eyes you have?" which the public understood he was referring to the singer of "Kiep Do Den" (A Life of Misfortune).

Duy Mạnh's statement caused a stir in the controversy with Tuấn Hưng.

Later, Duy Mạnh didn't hesitate to express his opinion when fans mentioned the singer of "Hold My Hand." Although he didn't name names, fans easily recognized that both popular singers were referring to each other. Fans believe that both Duy Mạnh and Tuấn Hưng need to behave more civilly instead of using impolite language on social media.
