On February 21, in the "Real or Fake Story" section of the entertainment program "The Shimped Universe, please pay attention", Huynh Hieu Minh frankly declared that the rumor that he "lost more than 1 billion yuan in gambling in Macau (China)" is false and staged using AI technology.
The actor exclaimed: "False news is so unreasonable, but there are still people who believe it", and called on the public to be alert to distinguish between truth and false when receiving information.
In March 2025, information suddenly spread on social networks about "a super A-class male star gambling for 7 days in the VIP room of Wynn Palace casino, Macau (China), losing all 1.03 billion yuan (about 3,800 billion VND) of mobile assets, and having to mortgage 3 luxury villas and private jets to pay off gambling debts".
The rumor does not specifically name anyone and there are details that are considered excessively exaggerated. But netizens still focus their suspicion on some top stars such as Jay Chou, Huang Xiaoming...
At that time, Huynh Hieu Minh posted behind-the-scenes photos of filming and IP locations in Fujian, to indirectly prove that his schedule was completely unrelated to Macau (China), thereby refuting information about losing 1 billion yuan in gambling.
When netizens commented: "You lost 1 billion yuan already", Huynh Hieu Minh immediately replied: "Lost (virtual currency) in the game?
After his response, many viewers left comments such as: "So many bloggers say that the person who lost 1 billion yuan in Macau (China) is Huynh Hieu Minh, finally spoke up to correct it", "Losing 1 billion yuan in a game is also a bit unreasonable"...
Huynh Hieu Minh's direct denial of gambling losses quickly climbed to the hot search top, related keywords reached tens of millions of views, and the level of interest was very high.
Previously, after the rumor spread in March last year, Weibo CEO Wang Gaofei posted a response, stating: "The earliest news seems to have appeared from October 2024. After AI analysis, it was concluded that this rumor lacks authentic evidence, the main source of information comes from anonymous accounts and marketing accounts, and there are loopholes in motivation and logic.
A day later, Jay Chou's management company - JVR Music - also denied the rumor through a post: "Today, news related to "A-list male star gambling in Macau (China)" appeared on Weibo search results"... Some netizens hinted that this person is an artist of our company - Jay Chou.
The company would like to announce that the entire content of the rumors is not related to Jay Chou. Hope the parties stop spreading false information.
