MC Duc Bao publicly apologizes for causing controversy and misunderstanding.
VTV presenter Duc Bao has just apologized to viewers for his controversial statement, attributed to him, which caused a stir on social media in recent days.
Over the past few days, images of VTV MC Duc Bao circulating on social media have been linked to his statement about having children: "If a child is born to inherit your hardship and poverty, then not having children is also a kind of virtue."
Immediately, this statement caused a huge controversy on social media. MC Duc Bao's remark was considered offensive to the poor and struggling in society.
On the morning of January 14th, MC Duc Bao clarified the situation on his personal page. The male MC shared and affirmed that this was not his statement.
"First, Duc Bao wants to clarify: The above statement was not his personal statement. However, this misunderstanding arose because, in addition to his personal page, he also has a page managed by his team, mainly posting humorous images, sometimes incorporating a bit of philosophy, with the sole purpose of sharing."
Therefore, this sharing is also part of that, about a perspective that, while not common, is worth considering regarding the responsible choice of having children," Duc Bao wrote.
In addition, MC Duc Bao also expressed his thoughts and opinions on the aforementioned statement more clearly to his fans. According to him, this statement serves as a reminder of the responsibility of parents. Bring your child into this world only after careful consideration and the best possible preparation.
"Surely no one wants to witness more abandoned lives, more children being forced to do hard labor in the worst conditions instead of studying and playing. That's all, everyone."
"But unfortunately, the quote I shared caused unnecessary misunderstandings and created negative emotions for some people on a weekend evening that should have been for relaxation and entertainment," Duc Bao explained.
The male MC also concluded by stating that whether or not to have children, and what conditions are sufficient or not, are all personal thoughts of each couple and each family. At the end of the post, Duc Bao also apologized to everyone for the misunderstandings and unnecessary experiences.
