At Weibo Night 2026, controversy about the seating positions of 3 artists Tieu Chien, Duong Mich and Tan Chi Loi became the focus of media attention.
In which, Duong Mich was suspected by a part of the audience of intentionally changing the nameplate, taking the place of Tieu Chien to win a central position with "Empress" Tan Chi Loi.
As soon as the event took place, Duong Mich's office was so upset that it posted an article expressing surprise and anger, requesting the organizers of the Weibo Night to speak up and explain.
Faced with the tough attitude of Duong Mich, the organizers posted a concise article, claiming responsibility to the staff for negligence in checking the artist's seats.
However, this perfunctory explanation cannot satisfy the public. There are still doubts and negative assessments aimed at Duong Mich.
On the afternoon of February 7, the organizers of the Weibo Night once again spoke out to clearly explain the controversy.
According to the organizers, the arrangement of seats and nameplates in the hall has been completed exactly according to the plan set from the afternoon of the event day (February 5).
But in the subsequent review process, because the second row of seats in the central area was still empty, staff made mistakes, incorrectly adjusting the position of Xiao Zhan's nameplate and some other seats to the outside, leading to the change in the position of the nameplate.
After detecting the problem, the staff immediately edited it while the event was taking place.
The organizers emphasized: "Throughout this process, Duong Mich and her team did not participate or interfere in any seating arrangement or nameplate placement. The information circulating online is not true.
The Weibo night directly sent apologies to Xiao Zhan, Yang Mi, and all affected artists and fans.
However, fans of the artists still condemned the lack of professionalism of the Weibo Night. Many opinions believe that the organizers deliberately created "tricks" for fans of the artists to argue, creating heat for the event.
Previously, although Tieu Chien attended the event, throughout the process, he did not appear in the guest seats with other artists. The media said that the controversy about the seating position was the reason Tieu Chien deliberately avoided to avoid spreading the noise.
Near the end of the event, Xiao Zhan still went on stage with Yang Mi to receive the "King" and "Queen" Weibo awards this year.
