Meritorious Artist Hoai Linh
At the end of June 2025, there was a lot of information about the suspicion that artist Hoai Linh was seriously ill. Some news sites and YouTube channels even posted the story of the male artist's passing, causing public confusion.
Regarding this issue, artist Hoai Linh spoke up and said he was still healthy: "There are many rumors about me, people say I am sick, I have passed away for several years."
The male artist revealed that in the past, he focused on acting, including films filmed in remote provinces, so he tried to stay healthy, avoid pests and diseases, affecting the progress of the film crew.
On June 17, the younger brother of the male artist - singer Duong Trieu Vu - said that when singing in the US, many audiences wondered about Hoai Linh's health condition. Some people even expressed concern because "the YouTube search showed that Mr. Hoai Linh was very sick". Receiving this information, Duong Trieu Vu humorously shared: "I just want to be kidding, get ahead of schedule".
According to his younger brother, the artist is still healthy, still "eating well, sleeping well and laughing brightly every day".
Meritorious Artist Kim Tu Long
Some social media accounts posted photos of Meritorious Artist Kim Tu Long in the hospital and spread rumors that he was seriously ill and in critical condition.
Before this information, on July 26, artist Kim Tu Long spoke up indignantly: "Some channels reported that I was injured and had a tumor in my brain. That makes those who love me confused. From July 25 to now, I have received hundreds of phone calls asking about my health. I hope news channels will remove the post saying I was hit by a car and suffered a traumatic brain injury. That affects my life and work".
Meritorious Artist Kim Tu Long condemned untrue content, taking the health of artists to create attention- grabbing content. Below the unverified posts, some people made malicious comments, even cursing the male artist. Regarding the image of lying in a hospital bed that was spread online, he said it was just a scene from a new film.
Meritorious Artist Chi Trung
Like artists Hoai Linh and Kim Tu Long, some social networking sites have spread information that artist Chi Trung is seriously ill and in critical condition, and at the same time called on people to pray for him.
In response to these false rumors, Chi Trung was extremely upset, took a screenshot of that post and publicly corrected on his personal page that he was still healthy.
Previously, artist Chi Trung was rumored to have passed away when a personal Facebook page quoted a link from an article with the content: "Karingh! Artist Chi Trung "went away" due to a traffic accident on the road".
Immediately after knowing this information, artist Chi Trung posted information to correct himself and was still alive to respond. The reason for this malicious information is because artist Chi Trung previously shared on his personal page that he had an accident on the road, but it was just a small accident. And the photo of him in the hospital was taken advantage of by individuals to post on social networks to attract views.
