What made Hong Phuong even more choked up after the late artist Vu Linh passed away was the more than three years of having to live amidst controversies and pressure from public opinion.
The female singer admitted that since the incident occurred, she has continuously become a topic of discussion on social networks. Work has been somewhat affected when each appearance has led to many opposing opinions. Many times, she has faced negative comments and attacks aimed at herself and her family. Especially, in the past 3 years, her shows have been continuously canceled.
Even, Hong Phuong said that there are unwanted situations even when she organizes funerals for loved ones. Those experiences made her realize that there are prejudices that are very difficult to change with just a few explanations.
After a long period of facing pressure, the female singer said she has learned to be calmer in the face of opposing opinions.
Until now, those who understand have understood, those who do not understand, I think they still deliberately do not understand," Hong Phuong said.
According to the female singer, she no longer tries to persuade everyone to stand on her side. What she cherishes most is the affection of the audience who have always silently followed, encouraged and given love to her family during the past time.
Hong Phuong expressed her gratitude to those who chose to trust and accompany her. That encouragement helped her have more motivation to continue pursuing art and overcome a period of many upheavals.
However, the female singer also said that if there are still people who do not have good feelings for her, she completely respects them.
It's okay not to pity me, but I just hope everyone will look at the matter objectively, wait for the final result from the competent authority instead of rushing to judge," she shared.
At the present time, Hong Phuong's biggest wish is not to receive protection from everyone, but to clarify everything so that the family can close the stormy period.
When asked by reporters about the reason why she has always been strong and faced public pressure for the past 3 years, Hong Phuong said: "What makes me strong is because I see my mother's tears falling and for my daughter. I have to be strong to be a support for them and revive the spirit of my family. Because I know that if I collapse, my family will have no support.
