Sharing with reporters on March 4, singer Ho Khac Tung - director of the program "Tu tinh phuong nam 4" - said that Meritorious Artist Phuong Hong Thuy was forced to cancel her schedule to participate in the program due to a schedule conflict.
On the same day of the program, the female artist already had two pre-signed play performances, so she could not arrange time to participate.
This information quickly made many Cai Luong fans express regret. Previously, Phuong Hong Thuy's appearance in the program was expected to bring many emotions, especially since she was once a close co-star of the late Meritorious Artist Vu Linh on the Cai Luong stage.
Answering more interviews with reporters, director Ho Khac Tung denied information that Meritorious Artist Phuong Hong Thuy canceled the show because of the presence of Hong Loan - Vu Linh's daughter.
He said: "The information saying that Meritorious Artist Phuong Hong Thuy and Hong Loan had conflicts leading to show cancellation is not accurate. The relationship between the two is still very normal".
In the past, Meritorious Artist Phuong Hong Thuy has stood on the same stage with Meritorious Artist Vu Linh many times. Although not forming a prominent "duet" like Vu Linh - Tai Linh, Phuong Hong Thuy is still one of the main actresses remembered by the audience. Her sweet, healthy voice and graceful performance style helped her make her mark through many plays and cải lương tapes of a time.
The female artist is also loved for her benevolent face with a charming smile. When performing with Meritorious Artist Vu Linh, the two created many emotional and harmonious moments on stage, leaving many beautiful memories in the hearts of fans.
However, due to a work schedule that had been arranged in advance, the female artist had to miss the program. According to singer Ho Khac Tung, this was unwanted and Phuong Hong Thuy also regretted not being able to participate.
