Speaking to reporters, the leader of the People's Committee of Hoan Kiem district said that the agency's functional forces decided to fine singer Tuan Hung 12.5 million VND for organizing a live show on the balcony of his private house without permission.

According to the leader of the People's Committee of Hoan Kiem district, working with the authorities, singer Tuan Hung has realized the problem. Specifically, that the organization is not in accordance with the law, and singer Tuan Hung also committed to comply with the district's decision to punish.

"Singer Tuan Hung also committed to complying with legal regulations when organizing activities in the future, including asking for permission from authorities," said the leader of Hoan Kiem district.

The leaders of Hoan Kiem district also said that the district also welcomed the organization of free singing by singer Tuan Hung. However, the organization must ensure the safety of the audience and comply with the law on performing arts.

Previously, on the evening of September 3, singer Tuan Hung organized the live show "Balcony Corner" at his private home at 19 Hang Khay. The People's Committee of Hoan Kiem District said that singer Tuan Hung's arbitrarily organizing performances with the participation of many people posed many risks to security, order, fire prevention, fire fighting, and prevention of the Covid-19 epidemic.

In response to the above incident, the People's Committee of Trang Tien Ward has drawn up a record of administrative violations to consider administrative sanctions against singer Tuan Hung for failing to notify the competent State agency as prescribed in Point d, Clause 2, Article 11 of Decree 38 dated March 29, 2021 of the Government regulating sanctions for administrative violations in the fields of culture and advertising.
