At the WeChoice Awards ceremony on the evening of January 12, Soobin Hoang Son was announced and awarded by MC Tran Thanh.
After presenting the award to Soobin, MC Tran Thanh suddenly asked the male singer to hug Miss Ky Duyen standing next to him. Tran Thanh urged: "You have to hug a beautiful girl to get inspiration to continue next year."
Tran Thanh's request made Soobin Hoang Son confused, Miss Ky Duyen smiled shyly.
On social networks, many viewers criticized Tran Thanh for being tactless and lacking in tact when urging Soobin to "hug a beautiful girl", while the male singer and Ky Duyen were not close before.
Some people think that Tran Thanh wants to attract attention for Ky Duyen - who will appear in his movie to be shown during Tet 2025.
During the award ceremony, Soobin Hoang Son was named 5 times, one of the big winners at WeChoice this year.
When receiving the award, the male singer confided: "Soobin firmly believes that throughout my career, I have more or less inspired people in the art field through my products/projects. This is also a source of pride and motivation for me to maintain my form, passion for the profession and always be kind when working to serve music to all audiences."
Also at the event, another share by Tran Thanh is also receiving mixed opinions. The male MC talked about the guests wearing Ao Dai to attend. "This is the first time at an award ceremony that we are proud to wear national costumes to the event. Looking closely at our national costumes, they are very fashionable. Everyone looks at each other and sees what they are wearing, whether it is beautiful or not, that is something I am extremely proud of," Tran Thanh said.
However, the audience believes that Tran Thanh shared inaccurate information, because Vietnam does not have an official national costume, while the guest designs include innovative designs with a modern style.
Tran Thanh is about to release the movie "The Four Guardians" on the occasion of Tet. The four, including Uncle Muoi Mot (Tran Thanh), Aunt Bon (Le Giang), Chet-xi-ca (Le Duong Bao Lam) and Kieu (Uyen An), are built on the image of a group of people with many different personalities, but have one thing in common: enthusiasm to the point of "destruction", affecting others.
