Regarding the Phuong Le controversy, Cai Luan artist Vu Luan was also criticized for sitting next to her during the livestream.

Recently, according to managers, many stars have intentionally created scandals and accepted fines to attract attention to livestream and sell products. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hoa - Head of the Electronic Information Department, Ho Chi Minh City Department of Information and Communications - said that this situation stems from the "attention-based business" model. Celebrities come up with a shocking event, then set up two groups of fans and anti-fans, so that the two groups can argue. Next, they find lawyers, work with authorities, accept to pay administrative fines, and then continue to livestream to sell products. In the near future, authorities will work and handle each specific case to deter.
