Information that Vuong Hac De will take on the male lead role in the adapted project "General's Empress" is creating a large wave of controversy on Weibo. Many original fans simultaneously requested to change actors, even declaring "wishing the film failure" if the film crew maintains this choice.
In recent days, keywords related to Vuong Hac De have continuously been in the hot search top on Weibo after information appeared that the male actor will take on the role of Ta Canh Hanh in the adapted project "General's Gate". However, instead of receiving support, this casting decision faced fierce reactions from the original fan community.
According to Chinese media, the film crew's official Weibo account was "attacked" by a series of comments requesting a change of male lead. Many viewers believe that Vuong Hac De's image, charisma and appearance are not suitable for the character Ta Canh Hanh in the original novel.
A series of satirical comments appeared densely under the film crew's post such as: "Change actor!", "This male lead makes me very uncomfortable". Some original fans also used the phrase "uncomfortable" that is causing a stir on social networks to mock the project.
Notably, the phrase "uncomfortable" is repeated continuously in many comments, becoming an irony aimed at the selection of actors by the film crew.
Previously, Vuong Hac De was involved in controversy after the final episode of the program "Nha tro than yeu 2026" aired on May 22. In the program, he was awarded a prank prize called "You are just Vuong Hac De".
Notably, the saying: "We really have a chat group without you" made many viewers think that the actor was isolated in the group. After the program aired, Vuong Hac De posted an article saying that he initially thought he was too sensitive, but after reading the reactions of netizens, he realized that he really felt uncomfortable with that situation.
Not only arguing about appearance, a part of netizens also questioned Vuong Hac De's acting ability as well as articulation. An attention-grabbing comment wrote: "Can you switch to someone who speaks a better common language?".
