– How will your year 2023 be?
Due to economic difficulties, I had to borrow money, but then the story went further as everyone knows. My job was affected, my contract was cut, I lost my income. There are times when I don’t have 5 million VND to buy milk for my child. However, I was fortunate to be able to overcome it thanks to the love of the audience.
It’s been almost a year since I started selling online, and I still don’t think I’ve paid off most of my debt. When my honor was trampled on, my spirit was broken and I was at the end of my rope, I just knew how to do anything to make money.
Before that, I had never sold anything online but only worked as an image ambassador and received advertising. I don’t even accept small brands or products that don’t have a reputation. But now I have to change my thinking, have to work like everyone else and can no longer use my image and reputation to do business.
I turned on the livestream and sold whatever I could, but I didn’t expect to receive so much support.

– Have you paid off all your debt yet?
I have almost paid off the debt of 6 billion VND, but it is not completely debt-free and it is not like I only sold goods to have 6 billion VND to repay. Among those 6 billion VND, there were loans I borrowed from friends and collected. Refund previous loans.
At that time, in addition to selling clothes, I also received about 500 pieces of Mr. Dam Vinh Hung’s goods to sell and received support from many people. That’s why I earned several hundred million in a very short time.
During the Tet season, in about 10 days, I earned about 500 million VND thanks to livestream sales. This source of income helps me solve urgent debts.
Now, I confidently say that for debts, no matter how small, even if people don’t ask for them, I still proactively pay them. Many viewers previously did not know that I had such a life, so when I encountered an incident, they Enthusiastic support to help me get back on my feet.
– There is information that many tycoons are willing to repay her debt. What is the truth, ma’am?
It may sound a bit complacent, but actually, many people have the means to help me when I’m in trouble. Among them, there are also people who truly love me. But I honestly shared with them that I didn’t want to be involved in a relationship or be too indebted to one person.
I don’t know why I’m so scared, maybe the financial situation is too big so I just want to stand up with my own strength. Besides, for the sake of my children, I don’t want to share my feelings with any man.
I think when I encounter an incident and a hand reaches out to help, I can’t help but feel moved. From there, they want to be in a long-term relationship, but I don’t want to depend on anyone.
Currently, the actress does not want to share her feelings with any man.
– Have you ever been in love?
I’m still proud of myself because even though I lost everything and had my honor trampled on, I still wasn’t dependent on anyone.
I think that is a hundred times more difficult than accepting someone’s offer, living leisurely, fully and peacefully in a villa, away from public opinion and not having to sell online for a living.
Maybe for other women, they will choose a solution that is safe for themselves and their children. But I don’t understand why I was so resilient at that time.
When you encounter money problems, you definitely need money. And when money is in front of your eyes, you can get carried away, but I have overcome that stage. When I do this, many people appreciate me more.
– How is the relationship between you and your second ex-husband?
We don’t see each other anymore. At first I blamed and felt sad, but then I was grateful to that person for creating an event for me to train myself. Furthermore, they give me lessons to help me grow. Before that, I was emotional and trusted people, but after this incident, I was no longer like that and had to live more courageously.
Now, I am no longer so afraid of losing my reputation because I have gone through a big incident. At that time, I had no money and no honor. Everyone looked at me with skeptical eyes, not knowing how true this story was, wondering if I was cheating others of money.
At that time, I didn’t blame them at all and the only thing that made me turn on the livestream to share was my determination to regain stability.
After the incident, Duong Cam Lynh said she lived stronger and trusted less people.
– Does debt make it difficult for you to return to art?
I’m sad because in art images are very important. However, each person has a phase and maybe thanks to this incident, I will be destined to turn in a different direction. Besides, I know how to endure and change myself better.
As for my artistic work, I definitely have a decline. At the same time, I also feel shy and self-conscious because my image is no longer beautiful. Even this incident also showed me that no matter how far my career has come, my passion is still there.
When I worked as an actor, it was impossible for me to earn 6 billion VND in a year because I used to do it for fun and didn’t put much emphasis on economic issues. In addition, my first marriage was comfortable because I had someone to share it with, so I didn’t put too much emphasis on financial matters. Now, I am responsible for two children, so I have to balance and choose my work.
