Be careful when calling someone a "freak"

Recently, the program Cai Luong Academy has been embroiled in many controversies. What surprised and angered viewers was the MC repeatedly calling artist Thanh Hang a "freak".

According to composer Dang Minh, "freak" is simply understood as a multi-talented artist, and people tend to lean towards comedy, uniqueness, and strange singing.

The audience pointed out that in the art world, there are very few people who are called "geniuses", such as the late artists Tran Van Trach, Ba Van, Tung Lam, Kim Ngoc...

Because of the uniqueness of the title "freak", many viewers were annoyed when the show arbitrarily gave Thanh Hang this outrageous name.

Reader Tran Quang Dinh wrote: "Why don't you widely consult writers, directors, journalists, fans... before arbitrarily calling artist Thanh Hang a "freak"?"

Even though Thanh Hang is a famous artist, to me this self-proclaimed title has absolutely no value."

Nick Camera said bluntly: "Sorry, but people don't call people like Hong Nga, Ngoc Giau, Kieu Mai Ly... "freaks" anymore...".

Many viewers heavily criticized the academy members for "exaggerating" and "praising each other".

Readers Cuong and Hang firmly said: "We do not accept calling Thanh Hang a "freak". We should only call the talented artist Thanh Hang."

Nick Mac Van Tan Buu said: "In short, please stop calling Thanh Hang "freak". Don't call her that anymore, it's not okay!".

No honor in sight, only hurt in sight

When answering Tuoi Tre Online , artist Thanh Hang confided that she did not call herself a "freak", but because the crew loved her, they called her that.

Thanh Hang is a talented artist, can play many types of roles well, and has been in the singing profession for decades.

However, because of a shocking title that caused the audience to speak out against it, perhaps Thanh Hang herself is also suffering.

Reader named Tinh commented: "Although Thanh Hang is quite versatile, when watching the program I was a bit surprised by this title. I had never heard of this title before.

I have heard of the genius Ba Van. A senior artist who is more excellent than Thanh Hang in many aspects is People's Artist Ngoc Giau but he is not called a genius yet.

Thanh Hang did nothing wrong, but if people praise her too much, they will unintentionally hurt the artist when the audience is suspicious and not convinced.

Reader Ly Luy then… directly blamed the Cai Luong Academy : "To be clear: The audience and readers raised questions about why Thanh Hang was arbitrarily called a "freak", so whether artist Thanh Hang was hurt or not is up to the Cai Luong Academy , not the readers and viewers."
