On January 9th, paparazzi captured the moment actress Huong Ham Chi smoked in a closed room, causing topics related to her to quickly climb to the top of search trends.
In the spreading images, Huong Ham Chi smoked in the room while playing mahjong with friends. This behavior immediately sparked debate about the issues of "indoor smoking ban" and "image of celebrities".
Many opinions believe that Huong Ham Chi has violated Beijing's regulations prohibiting smoking indoors, and smoking in closed spaces will harm other people's health. Huong Ham Chi is also a celebrity, so unsportsmanlike behavior is easily strongly condemned by the public.
Immediately after the incident was exposed, Huong Ham Chi did not choose to remain silent or defend herself. She quickly posted an apology on Weibo, frankly saying: "My smoking behavior in the house not only affects others but also creates a bad example. Thank you everyone for reminding me, I will seriously self-criticize. I am really very sorry".
The timely apology of the 23-year-old beauty is agreed upon by many people. A part of netizens believe that compared to artists who, despite clear evidence, still deny or respond late, this quick apology at least shows the responsibility of a celebrity.
On the other hand, because the actress was hanging out with close friends, her smoking in the room may have been agreed upon by everyone.
However, the protesters said that the apology is just a temporary measure to soothe public opinion, the important thing is whether the artist seriously reviews and changes or not.
In recent years, in the Chinese entertainment industry, personal ethics and image management of artists have become the focus. This incident by Huong Ham Chi once warned artists: under the stage lights, there is no such thing as "absolute private space", so all actions and words must be careful.
Meanwhile, other opinions point out that smoking may not have caused such a big controversy, if Huong Ham Chi had not been involved in private scandals recently. The smoking behavior coupled with the previous scandal seems to have made Huong Ham Chi's image worse in the eyes of the public.
Just a few days ago, the media released dating evidence of Huong Ham Chi and actor Chau Ky. The paparazzi captured the scene of the two hugging and going home together.
Chau Ky is again involved in another scandal, when online hot girl Tu Hieu Dich announced that she has a romantic relationship with dozens of male Chinese stars, including Chau Ky.
Huong Ham Chi is considered a "love brain", while her career is progressing thanks to the movie "Big Businessman", she is entangled in dating.
When criticized by many people, the actress declared a "single" status, synonymous with breaking up with Zhou Qi.
Huong Ham Chi was born in 2002, once dubbed one of the "Kinh Khuyen princesses", receiving the support of the Beijing film industry, including Xu Jinglei.
But after 5 years of release, it was not until recently that Huong Ham Chi really attracted attention thanks to her supporting role in the movie "Big Business" starring Tran Hieu.
