Anyone who leads a promiscuous and morally degraded lifestyle needs to be punished
Sharing with Dan Viet, musician Nguyen Van Chung said that not only the showbiz world, but many other professional circles also have this and that story. Celebrities or showbiz people also have this person and that person, not all of them. However, the artist’s image has a very strong impact and influence on the general public, especially young people. Therefore, artists should be more conscious of living a beautiful, healthy life to guide their fans to follow and love.
“I don’t play and don’t hang out widely in showbiz groups, so I don’t know what’s going on Vietnamese stars use drugs or whether stimulants are a common phenomenon. However, I think, not only artists but anyone who is a citizen in society must obey the law.
Using drugs or stimulants for any reason is a violation of
According to musician Nguyen Van Chung, the public should not assume that all showbiz characters have a loose and unruly lifestyle like some characters who have been detained or imprisoned for drug-related crimes recently. In the showbiz world, there are still many people who live very healthy and law-abiding lives.

In my opinion, I have earned the reputation of being a celebrity. If you are famous, have many fans who love and trust you, you must have a healthy, clean lifestyle; be conscious of preserving your image and professional ethics.

Artists are viewed by the public with stricter standards than ordinary people because artists are considered symbols of beauty, perfection, and goodness. Therefore, the fact that more and more Vietnamese stars are involved in drugs or stimulants, that is, breaking the law, means that it is time to raise an alarm about lifestyle, ethics, professional character and consciousness. preserve the image of famous people.

Because that’s a sign of an easy-going, indulgent lifestyle. loose, liberal… even a bit decadent. And this will have a heavy impact on the art world in general, not just those individuals, and the public will certainly not be able to maintain the same view round and full of sympathy for artists Therefore, there needs to be very fundamental solutions to rectify this problem,” Dr. The Hung expressed.
According to Dr. The Hung of Aesthetics, the first measure that can be applied to prevent Vietnamese stars from falling into the path of crime is “warning”.

“there should be purification to return cleanliness to the art world. Whoever is worth seeing is a singer, actress, model, beauty queen, or host, let’s see; otherwise, let’s see We should not equate them with those names. I see that nowadays there are many people who simply sing a few songs, release a few MVs, or play a few supporting roles, performing in a few small-scale shows for granted. Pat your chest and claim to be a star of this class, a star of that class. Then do it There are few professions, there are many scandals… that needs to be purified,” Dr. The Hung added.

Interview Between Time.news Editor and Dr. The Hung on the Recent Surge of Drug Involvement Among Vietnamese Celebrities
Editor: Good morning, Dr. The Hung. Thank you for joining us today. With increasing reports of Vietnamese stars being involved in drugs, there’s a pressing need to address this issue. What’s your take on this alarming trend?
Dr. The Hung: Good morning, and thank you for having me. The situation is indeed quite worrying. It reflects a deeper issue regarding ethics, lifestyle choices, and the public’s perception of the art world. The artists we look up to are held to higher standards because they symbolize beauty and integrity.
Editor: Absolutely. The recent arrests of high-profile figures like singer Chi Dan and actress Le Hang have certainly made waves. Why do you think such incidents are occurring more frequently now?
Dr. The Hung: Several factors could contribute to this trend. The pressures of fame, the fast-paced lifestyle, and sometimes, a lack of guidance in navigating the complexities of the entertainment industry may lead artists down a troubling path. They often represent ideals, but when they stray away from those values, it creates a disconnect with their audience.
Editor: That’s a valid point. As we see more celebrities in trouble, how do you think this impacts the larger art community and public perception of artists?
Dr. The Hung: Each incident not only tarnishes the reputation of the individual involved but also casts a shadow on the artistic community as a whole. The public may start to generalize, assuming that all artists share the same approach to life, which is not the case. It can lead to a sense of disillusionment among fans who once held these figures in high regard.
Editor: You mentioned the responsibilities artists hold. Can you elaborate on what you believe should be expected from them in this regard?
Dr. The Hung: Certainly. Artists have a duty to project a clean image, as they influence many, particularly young fans. They should strive to live by the standards of “truth, goodness, and beauty.” When they fail to do so, it’s crucial not only for them to reflect on their choices but also for the industry to foster an environment that prioritizes ethical behavior and professional conduct.
Editor: Are there any solutions you would propose to rectify this issue?
Dr. The Hung: Yes, I believe there needs to be a multi-faceted approach. First, education on the importance of a healthy lifestyle and ethics in the entertainment industry can go a long way. Additionally, establishing support systems for artists to deal with the pressures of fame may be beneficial. Regular workshops or discussions about drug abuse prevention and mental health awareness could create a safer environment.
Editor: That sounds promising. Lastly, how can the public differentiate between those artists who genuinely strive for a positive lifestyle and those who don’t?
Dr. The Hung: The key is discernment. Audiences should be mindful of the behavior and lifestyle choices of their idols. Engagement with artists who embody healthy values is essential, as is holding those who err accountable. Art is a reflection of society, and we need to be proactive in supporting artists who inspire us positively.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. The Hung. Your insights are invaluable as we navigate these troubling changes within the Vietnamese entertainment landscape. It’s crucial to address these issues and work towards a healthier environment for both artists and their audiences.
Dr. The Hung: Thank you for having me. It’s a conversation we need to keep having. Only through dialogue and action can we hope to improve the situation for everyone involved.
