On March 15th, Miss Thuy Tien once again spoke out about the recent controversies surrounding her advertisement for Kera vegetable candy. This time, she frankly admitted her mistake and promised to rectify it.

“Today, after working with the Department of Broadcasting, Television and Electronic Information, and receiving guidance and reminders from everyone, I have become even more deeply aware of my shortcomings. I want to face my mistakes honestly, without avoidance. I accepted the advertising offer without thoroughly understanding the product. That was my first mistake. I cannot excuse it with other things, because that doesn't lessen my mistake. That is my first mistake, and it's undeniable,” Thuy Tien expressed.

According to Thuy Tien, she was fortunate to receive the audience's love, but she responded with carelessness. This was her second and most serious mistake.

"Regret or an apology is not enough and does not make amends. I may be forgiven, I may not, but the most important thing is that I deeply understand my mistakes. Because the most terrifying feeling is not being scolded by everyone, but realizing that I have hurt the trust of those who love me," she wrote.

Thùy Tiên expressed her desire to once again apologize to everyone and vowed to rectify her mistakes. She promised to cooperate with the brand to support compensation and refunds for customers.

According to Thuy Tien, she wants to participate in programs that discuss the responsibilities of KOLs in product promotion, as a living example of a mistake, rather than as a beauty queen or celebrity. She hopes that her own mistakes can become a lesson to help others avoid making the same errors.

"This is not the last time I will confront myself. I will not let this mistake be forgotten over time, but will use it to remind myself every day. I will express my apology through my actions," the beauty queen shared.

On the afternoon of March 14th, CER Group Joint Stock Company (CER) held a press conference in Hanoi . During the press conference, a representative from CER Group stated that Thuy Tien is merely a KOL (Key Opinion Leader) promoting their vegetable candy product. Furthermore, the beauty queen holds no other role with the brand. CER Group confirmed that Thuy Tien's commitment to supporting the Kera team has been completed.

"Due to difficulties in eating a variety of vegetables, Thuy Tien found vegetable-based candies to be a useful solution not only for herself but also meaningful for Vietnamese agricultural products. Thuy Tien became an enthusiastic partner from the very beginning of the project. To date, Thuy Tien has not received any remuneration from the project," a representative of CER Group stated.

The aforementioned vegetable-based candy was advertised by Thuy Tien, Quang Linh Vlogs, and Hang Du Muc from the end of 2024, subsequently causing widespread controversy.

The Food Safety Department has requested an inspection of the product's manufacturing, labeling, and advertising processes to clarify related issues. The Ministry of Health has not yet released any information following the inspection.

The Department of Broadcasting, Television and Electronic Information invited Ms. Nguyen Thi Thai Hang (Hang Du Muc), Mr. Pham Quang Linh (Quang Linh Vlogs), and Ms. Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien (Miss Grand International 2021) to a meeting on the afternoon of March 14th.

The Department of Broadcasting, Television and Electronic Information has issued administrative penalties to Mr. Pham Quang Linh and Ms. Nguyen Thi Thai Hang for advertising falsely and misleadingly about the quality of products they claim to offer. Miss Thuy Tien received a warning but was not penalized.
