"Go ahead and be generous with the awards, ladies and gentlemen... Before you cast your vote for 'Artist of the Year,' please think carefully, consider, evaluate, and scrutinize thoroughly."
Don't confuse influence and creativity with "plagiarism"—a problem we've long criticized and, in our own perception, have no solution to.
Whether an "artist's" intellectual capital and skills are depleted or not is immediately evident in their musical products...
Let's nurture genuine, honest, and lasting values so as not to contribute to the distortion and degradation of awards (which were once highly anticipated and trusted) and the overall decline in the development of our national art scene.
"Wake up, everyone!!!" Tung Duong wrote.
Along with his very angry post, Tung Duong didn't hesitate to include a link to an article about Son Tung M-TP's plagiarism.
