Accordingly, on August 9, People's Artist Le Thuy and Meritorious Artist Phuong Hang suddenly became the center of attention when clips appeared on stage with Hong Loan - the daughter of the late Meritorious Artist Vu Linh - during a music night in Tay Ninh were spread.
This seemingly meaningful event caused a mixed reaction on social media, causing two veteran artists to suddenly be dragged into unnecessary controversy.
Many people believe that People's Artist Le Thuy and Phuong Hang singing on the same stage with Hong Loan may be misunderstood as standing on Vu Linh's daughter's side in the property inheritance conflict between Hong Loan and artist Hong Nhung (brother of the late Meritorious Artist Vu Linh).
Some others think that Hong Loan does not deserve to stand on the same stage with the monuments of the past such as People's Artist Le Thuy and Phuong Hang.
However, the majority of other audiences expressed their opinion that it was very normal for big artists like People's Artist Le Thuy and Phuong Hang to sing with colleagues. The artists only performed, not expressing any opinions about the noise between Hong Loan's family and artist Hong Nhung.
In fact, in behind-the-scenes videos, the performances at the show in Tay Ninh, People's Artist Le Thuy and Phuong Hang were quite comfortable and friendly when talking and interacting with the next generation like Hong Loan.
There was even a clip of Hong Loan coming to greet People's Artist Le Thuy, she even bowed her head to apologize to the female artist for the noise in the family that could affect her. People's Artist Le Thuy also gently listened to Hong Loan's confidences, without any reaction or attitude like some information spread on social networks.
In fact, the noise originated from the inheritance dispute between the late artist Vu Linh between Hong Loan and artist Hong Nhung that lasted for more than two years. The Ho Chi Minh City People's Court has declared Hong Loan as a legal adopted child, receiving 85% of the inheritance, Hong Nhung receiving 15%. However, both sides appealed, so the lawsuit has not yet reached an end.
