The noise occurred after a recent show when singer Cat Tuyen introduced Hong Phuong to the audience as the niece of artist Vu Linh. This introduction quickly caused controversy on social networks. Some opinions suggest that emphasizing family relationships may make the public understand that the female singer is relying on the aura of her loved ones.
Before the wave of discussion, Hong Phuong shared that Cat Tuyen was someone who had accompanied her in the profession and her senior's statement completely came from the perspective of a colleague. According to Hong Phuong, Cat Tuyen understands her family circumstances as well as the journey she pursued in art, so that introduction was not intended to attract attention but just a way to share information with the audience.
When he was alive, I entered the profession in 2010 and chose to go from the smallest steps, without showing off my family. In 2016, when participating in the Sao Noi Ngoi program, the audience knew that I was from a family with a tradition. I did not borrow his name, but the fact that I am his biological grandchild and he introduced me to many people from outside the world to the stage is true," Hong Phuong expressed.
The female singer said that during her early years of singing, she mainly participated in local stages and music programs and did not publicly emphasize her relationship with artist Vu Linh. According to her, it is natural for the audience to know her as the niece of "Kai Luong king Ho Quang" when she participates in television programs and is supported by her family.
Hong Phuong emphasized that she is clearly aware of her responsibility when bearing the title of grandchild of a great artist. "That is both pride and pressure. I always try to do my job seriously so as not to disappoint my family," she added.
Before the mixed opinions, the female singer said that each artist has a different starting point. The fact that the public knows about family relationships does not mean that she relies on or takes advantage of the names of relatives. She affirmed that her artistic path was built by personal efforts over many years.
The incident once again shows that the story of "generation children" in showbiz is always easy to cause controversy. However, according to Hong Phuong, the most important thing is still talent and seriousness with the profession. She hopes that the audience will recognize her through the process of artistic activities instead of just revolving around family relationships.
Currently, the female singer continues to participate in performance programs and new music projects, affirming her desire to be recognized by the public with her own ability.
