Circus artists Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep have issued an apology after their controversial incident of riding a motorbike while balancing on their heads without helmets in a promotional clip.

This is the first time the two brothers have spoken out after a week since the incident. Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep said that although the investigating agency has concluded that this is not a criminal matter, they still feel very guilty for causing concern to the audience.

Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep have issued an apology after the incident involving Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep riding a motorbike without helmets in a promotional clip that caused a public uproar.

"As artists who were once loved and trusted by many, Cơ and Nghiệp feel that they cannot remain silent and must take responsibility to offer their sincerest apologies to everyone. At the same time, Cơ and Nghiệp sincerely thank those who have always accompanied, followed, and supported them."

"No matter what happens, no matter the circumstances, Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep will try their best to fulfill their civic duties and perform well as artists so that they can continue to contribute and receive love. Once again, we sincerely apologize and thank everyone," Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep wrote.

Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep's apology has attracted public attention. Under the post, many viewers expressed their trust and urged them to learn from their mistakes, consider their actions carefully, and reflect on their behavior: "I sympathize with you both. I still admire you both because no one wants to be in this profession! Rest assured and take care of your mental health to continue striving for many future endeavors"; "True artists always respect their audience. Wishing you both continued success in your careers"; "Even without making a mistake, doing something offensive that young people might imitate is still something to avoid. Thank you"...

Previously, a promotional video of brothers Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep riding a motorbike while balancing on their heads without helmets caused a public uproar. Immediately afterward, the Thu Duc City Police (Ho Chi Minh City) conducted an investigation and determined that the incident was a commercial shoot.

Safety was ensured throughout the filming process. (Image cropped from the video).

The clip was filmed in a fenced-off area with security guards preventing unauthorized access, a medical team was present, and accident insurance was provided for the entire production team and actors. The released clip also clearly stated the warning: "Performed by professional artists in a controlled area. Please do not attempt to imitate this in any way."

Therefore, the Thu Duc Police determined that there was insufficient legal basis to apply the provisions of Clause 4, Article 8 of the Advertising Law regarding advertising that affects urban aesthetics, traffic safety, and social security.

On October 26th, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports announced that it would be working with artists Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep regarding the use of images depicting them riding motorcycles while balancing on their heads without helmets, which negatively impacts public awareness and compliance with the law.

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports stated that appropriate action will be taken after the conclusions of the relevant authorities are reached.
