On the afternoon of September 16, Truong Giang announced that he would be absent from the upcoming recording session of the reality TV show "2 Days 1 Night".
The male artist said he thought a lot before making the decision. "After discussing with the producer, Giang asked for permission to be absent from the upcoming 2-day-1night recording session," Truong Giang shared.
He said he wanted to spend this time to "settle down and learn more", and thanked the audience and hoped that viewers would continue to support the program.
Contacting the "2 Days 1 Night" side, a program representative confirmed to Lao Dong reporters that the information Truong Giang shared was correct.
However, when reporters mentioned that Truong Giang only does not participate in one or two upcoming episodes or is absent from subsequent recording sessions, the program side said that it is not yet possible to give a specific answer.
This issue involves many departments, so we cannot answer yet. The program side will have feedback later," the program representative said.
2 Days 1 Night" is currently airing season 5 with six members including Truong Giang, Kieu Minh Tuan, Ngo Kien Huy, Le Duong Bao Lam, Cris Phan and Hieuthuhai. Truong Giang has been associated with the program since the first season in 2022 and often plays the role of connecting members.
Truong Giang's temporary suspension of recording takes place at a time when the male artist has become the focus of many debates on social networks.
In the past two weeks, many old videos in TV shows with Truong Giang's participation have been shared again. Some situations of interaction with colleagues, how to handle participating in games and past stories of the male artist have created many mixed opinions.
On the evening of September 14, Truong Giang directly responded to these debates for the first time. He admitted that when looking back, he used to have "not subtle, not good enough" behaviors, and apologized to those who had been hurt by him.
