"I was really angry when I read messages from someone who was posting fake messages to defame my reputation. I live my life based on my conscience. And I believe my audience also understands what kind of person Tran Thanh is," Tran Thanh was upset.

Tran Thanh continues to express his attitude when being slandered. He affirmed that he will find the identity of the person who sent the above pictures and messages.
