According to reporters' records, a clip recording the moment the female MC turned her back and left quickly spread on social networks, leading to many debates about the behavior of both the artist and the organizers.
According to the shared content, when appearing in the red carpet area of a movie screening in Ho Chi Minh City, Trac Thuy Mieu was asked by event staff about her stage name to introduce. Immediately after that, the female MC decided to leave, not to continue participating in the program.
This reaction quickly created two streams of views. Some opinions suggest that in the current context, it is difficult to avoid event staff not recognizing artists, especially when there are generational differences or the level of public recognition. This group commented that Trac Thuy Mieu's reaction is sensitive and not really necessary.
Conversely, many viewers defended the female MC, saying that not knowing the guest list was a shortcoming from the organizers. For events with the participation of artists, the preparation stage, especially the personnel at the red carpet, needs to be ensured to be professional to avoid controversial situations.
Before the opposing opinions, in an interview with reporters on the afternoon of April 16, Trac Thuy Mieu said that she felt this matter was small, so she hoped to stop the debate.
Previously, she said that she traveled a long distance in traffic jams, did not have time to eat and had to wait quite a long time before entering the event area. In that situation, the fact that the program crew did not know who she was, asked for her stage name made the female MC disappointed and decided to leave.
The female MC believes that the crew's prior understanding of guest information, respect for stage names and the way guests are introduced is a basic principle in the professional environment. According to the female MC, if these principles are not guaranteed, artists have the full right to refuse to participate.
