In episodes 1 and 2 of "Paradise Island", commentators Diệu Nhi and Hari Won had negative remarks about Mạnh Kiên.
Previously, Diệu Nhi had commented that Mạnh Kiên was a bit "pushy", and she preferred a man who was "calm and gentle". Mạnh Kiên constantly "flirted" with female players, making Diệu Nhi feel he was a flirtatious person, but all opinions changed in episode 3.
Diệu Nhi shared the reason for her fascination with Mạnh Kiên: “I find him interesting, Kiên is not afraid of being judged by others.
From the first meeting, he showed his true self. Now, I feel guilty towards Kiên for having made negative comments about him. I feel I was judged by others based on appearances".
Hari Won agreed with Diệu Nhi, and she conveyed to Mạnh Kiên: “Hari also apologizes to Kiên because after the last two episodes, it was me who was inappropriate, not Kiên. Kiên is very charming. Kiên is very interesting. That is what both Hari and Diệu Nhi want to convey to Kiên”.
Thảo Nhi Lê expressed her opinion: “I find him so inappropriate that he becomes charming”.
Hari Won and Thảo Nhi Lê's comments about the male player being "inappropriate" also sparked controversy in previous episodes.
It is known that Mạnh Kiên is 32 years old, has participated in many sports competitions, and is also a model and actor. Besides the arts, Mạnh Kiên also runs a motorcycle tour company.
“Coming to Paradise Island, I hope to find a suitable woman. I like an intelligent woman with a good educational background,” Mạnh Kiên shared his reason for joining the show.
The content of episode 3 revolves around the male and female players introducing themselves.
In episode 3, a new member appears, DJ Wukong from Singapore. Currently, he is a DJ and music producer. He impressed Vietnamese audiences through the show Rap Việt. He is also a close friend of Thảo Nhi Lê.
In this episode, the female players must participate in a competition to have the right to choose a male player for a 2-day 1-night date. The winner is Miss Ocean Vietnam 2023 Thu Uyên.
