How did Vietnamese stars react to Pham Anh Khoa's apology?

On the afternoon of May 14, Pham Anh Khoa held a press conference after being accused of sexual harassment and making controversial statements. The male singer appeared with a haggard face due to having to deal with the scandal in recent days. Pham Anh Khoa bowed his head and apologized to the victim, individuals, organizations and the program he participated in.

Pham Anh Khoa also retracted his statement that "in showbiz, patting the butt is also a way of greeting". "I would like to apologize to all my colleagues, seniors, friends and younger generations, and to all the audience for my careless statement," the male singer explained.

"I would like to thank my female colleagues for their reactions to that statement. My mistake would have been much bigger without that reaction, because it was your reaction that helped the audience not misunderstand the personalities of those working in the profession," Pham Anh Khoa emphasized.

Before Pham Anh Khoa's apology, Vietnamese stars evaluated that he had a sincere apology and a positive attitude towards correcting his mistakes.

Singer Bao Lan - one of the people who strongly reacted to the male rocker's statement about showbiz - said: "After watching the entire clip of Pham Anh Khoa's press conference, I felt Khoa's sincerity. It's not easy for someone like Khoa to say these words. I think Khoa had to think and review all issues seriously and thoroughly."

According to Bao Lan, Pham Anh Khoa's apology to the victims was late, but if they all forgave him, there was no reason for his colleagues to turn their backs on Khoa.

"Perhaps this is an apology from the bottom of his heart because Khoa really saw what happened to his family. I believe everyone must be moved. Those involved have forgiven, I think the public should also give Khoa time and opportunity," the singer called. Bao Lan hopes that after these scandals, the public will have a fairer view of showbiz.

Like Bao Lan, musician Nguyen Van Chung once strongly reacted to Pham Anh Khoa's attitude during the talk with the CSAGA organization. At that time, he assessed Pham Anh Khoa's apology as "an excuse with silly arguments and very disrespectful to the audience and his victims. I think Pham Anh Khoa really still hasn't realized his mistakes."

Reviewing the shares of colleagues at the press conference on the afternoon of May 15, musicianMother's DiaryI think Pham Anh Khoa's apology is very sincere. "Although it was difficult, Pham Anh Khoa finally tried, that is the courage of a man. I appreciate that. I also hope that he sincerely knows his mistake and corrects it," the male musician said.

Hoang Bach - Pham Anh Khoa's close friend - shared a long post on his personal page. He said that he could not speak up to defend the male rocker because he knew his friend was wrong. If he defended him, he would only harm his friend.

Speaking about the apology at the press conference on the afternoon of May 15, Hoang Bach said that Pham Anh Khoa made the right decision, brave when he truly realized his mistake and was aware of it. Finally, he told his friend: "Khoa, you were wrong, please do it again for the children, for the woman who, because of loving you, has suffered a lot of bitterness, not just in the past few days."

Evaluating Pham Anh Khoa’s attitude during the press conference, supermodel Xuan Lan said she also felt his sincerity. Therefore, she believes the male singer truly understands and believes he will keep his promise. She hopes everyone will be more tolerant of Pham Anh Khoa.

Hearing Pham Anh Khoa's apologies with a choked voice, Khanh Thi commented: "Hit the one who runs away, not the one who runs back. Now everything will follow its natural course, whether the ending is good or bad depends on how society sees it. Showbiz is neither beautiful nor ugly, it is a place where artists must live and work honestly."

However, she felt sorry for Pham Anh Khoa for not being more alert because he already had a family and was a father, and this scandal had a big impact on his family. She told the male rocker: "Maybe things wouldn't have gone this far. From the beginning, Pham Lich made it clear that she just wanted a sincere apology."

Comedian Thu Trang is busy rehearsing her play but is still concerned about the incident. She said Pham Anh Khoa's previous statement upset everyone in showbiz.

However, when looking at the image of the male singer at the press conference and his apologies, she thinks that people should be more open to him. "We should open up, not force it anymore," she said. Thu Trang's sharing received a lot of sympathy from her friends on her personal page.

Pham Anh Khoa’s comments at the press conference this afternoon also attracted public attention. Many viewers and netizens said they felt the sincerity in each of the singer’s words. They felt regretful that he apologized a bit late.

"If only Mr. Khoa had spoken up from the beginning, things probably wouldn't have gotten so heated. I just watched the clip and didn't expect Mr. Khoa and his wife to be so haggard. But if it weren't for the third person's accusation, Mr. Khoa would have been even more arrogant," a reader wrote.

"As much as I love Ms. May, I also blame her for trying her best to protect her family regardless. Anyway, everything is over. I hope everything is good for your family," reader Petti Love shared on singer Hoang Bach's personal page.

Reader Thang Nguyen believes that everyone makes mistakes, big or small. "When I watched the clip of him admitting his mistake, I saw his sincere repentance. I hope everyone and society will help him make up for his mistakes because that is the motivation for him to improve and become better," Thang Nguyen said.

Reader Bill Tran agrees that Pham Anh Khoa's mistakes should be forgiven. "What is bound on earth will be bound in heaven. What is loosed on earth will be loosed in heaven. So forgive to be forgiven. Love to be loved," he commented.
