On Bui Nguyen Trung Quan's fanpage, Trung Quan Idol posted a long post apologizing for assaulting female doctor Nguyen Linh Thuy in a drunken state.
This male singer announced the temporary suspension of his artistic activities to focus on resolving the matter, not only writing on the page, but also directly apologizing to the victim and his family.
Many opinions believe that there is no reason to justify violent acts, especially when the object of impact is women, and they are people working in the medical industry.
Blaming alcohol or drunkenness only reveals the lack of self-control. Drunkness is not the cause, but only a catalyst that reveals true behavior.
An artist can become famous for their talent, but to survive for a long time, they need more than that, which is living culture.
The public not only listens to music, but also observes how artists behave, speak and face everyday situations.
When an artist steps on stage, each action is contagious, even becoming a role model, positive or negative.
Here, what makes public opinion dissatisfied is not only the accused behavior, but also the handling afterwards. An apology from singer Trung Quan Idol was posted and quickly locked, unable to erase the consequences caused.
Apologies are not an "exemption ticket", and they cannot replace legal responsibility if there is a violation.
Artists often talk about "building images". But images are not created from purely musical products, but from personality and individual behavior.
A minute of loss of control can destroy what has accumulated over many years. Audiences may love a voice, but will turn their backs if an artist loses the minimum standard.
This incident is also a broader reminder to art and talent activities that cannot stand above ethics. Fame is not a "shield" before law or social norms.
Conversely, the more influence, the more you have to put yourself in a higher framework.
Functional agencies will clarify right and wrong, and handle it according to regulations, but the "verdict" from the public is what is worth considering.
A true artist not only knows how to sing well, but also must know how to live correctly, live beautifully, spread inspirational and positive energy to the community.
