The fact that the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports officially spoke out regarding the controversial statement of singer Le Quyen on social networks shows a problem that is not new, but increasingly worrying, which is the unprofessional behavior of a part of artists.
In recent days, many reactions have appeared on social networks to singer Le Quyen's use of swearing language when responding to audience comments.
Whether it comes from personal frustration or reaction to ill-intentioned words, this way of behaving still creates negative public opinion.
Because artists don't just talk to one person, but talk to hundreds of thousands, even millions of followers.
According to representatives of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports, the Code of Conduct on social networks and the Code of Conduct of people working in the field of art have clearly stipulated the responsibility of artists to the public.
These documents are not intended to "tie hands" with creativity or personal emotions, but to guide behavior in accordance with the social position of artists.
An artist can argue, criticize, and even express disagreement with opposing opinions. But the boundary between criticism and attack, between frankness and vulgarity is something that public figures are forced to clearly recognize.
When words become harsh, insulting, and offensive, whether right or wrong, the image of the artist is first harmed.
It is undeniable that social networks today are harsh, with many comments that are offensive, malicious, and even offensive to artists. But it is in that environment that cultural bravery is the measure of the value of celebrities.
A moderate answer, a timely silence, or choosing to handle it through appropriate channels will always be much more convincing than harsh, heavy responses.
It should be emphasized that artists exist and succeed thanks to the public.
Audiences love artists not only for their talent, but also for their friendly, cute, and friendly behavior. Therefore, audiences can turn their backs if artists leave a bad image, in which their statements are uncontrolled.
Building an artist image is a long process, requiring talent, artistic labor and seriousness in behavior. But tarnishing that image sometimes only requires a thoughtless sentence.
People of the public not only sing well and act well, but first of all must behave with culture, which is a sustainable foundation to build a long-term artistic journey.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
