Duong Minh reappeared at the event on May 15.

This film also marks his return after the scandal of being imprisoned for 18 days for drunk driving and causing an accident in December 2022.

Duong Minh said that in the past few months, he has spent time thinking about his past mistakes. The actor understands that having been in prison will make the audience and public opinion look at him differently.

"This is the truth. I am not afraid, because this is a necessary punishment. I will always try to become a better version of myself in the future," the actor affirmed.

Talking more about his current situation, he said he has quit drinking, only at parties, he will taste a little.

HK01 said the scandal and prison sentence have severely damaged the artist's reputation. He is said to have been restricted from performing by TVB over the years.

However, Duong Minh only answered briefly when asked about this information: "There is no mention of whether I am the first or second star, we just act according to the script."

"Night Beauties" is a remake of the 2021 Taiwanese film "Light The Night". The film is about the complicated relationships between women in a nightclub. Ruby Lin invested 35 million USD and took 4 years to complete this film.

In August 2020, Duong Minh was arrested for driving under the influence and causing a traffic accident. The Mercedes-Benz he was driving crossed into the opposite lane, crashed through nearly 60 meters of the median strip and hit a stone curb on the side of the road.

When police arrived at the scene, they found Duong Minh lying motionless in the car, reeking of alcohol. Two police officers had to take him to the emergency room.
