Hoang Dung and his wife, who is also his manager, speak out about the song 'Muse'.

On her personal page, Khanh Linh, Hoang Dung's wife and manager, posted an article addressing the unauthorized use of the song "Nang Tho" (Muse ). According to her, many programs featuring Vietnamese or international artists have performed this song over the years without directly seeking permission from the production team.

"For organizations that knew Dung didn't authorize anyone at the Copyright Protection Center, they all contacted me to request permission. Those who didn't know and didn't contact me didn't know where to apply for permission to confidently perform like that. I only mentioned 'Nàng thơ' (Muse) because it's the song that's been used illegally the most," Khánh Linh wrote.

Hoang Dung's team stated that they have contacted numerous entities to seek compensation for the singer. However, there are still cases that cannot be resolved because the program took place too long ago, making it difficult to identify the organizing unit or because the relevant parties are uncooperative.

In addition, Hoang Dung also expressed his opinion on his personal page: "To answer the question 'when can artists make a living from music ?', sometimes you have to put aside the fun a little and think about others. A new era is coming, and there will be new things we need to adapt to. I am also learning, adapting, and gaining experience every day, so I hope that producers will do the same, to set an example for each other and create a better market."

Born in 1995, Hoang Dung became known to the public after winning the runner-up title in The Voice Vietnam 2015. After the competition, he pursued a career as a singer-songwriter, making his mark with his warm voice, narrative songwriting style, and gentle pop ballad sound. Some of the songs associated with Hoang Dung's name include "Yeu Duoi" (Weakness) , "Doi Loi" (A Few Words) , "Di Dau De Thay Hoa Bay " (Where to Go to See Flowers Flying ), "Nua Thap Ky " (Half a Decade) , and especially "Nang Tho" (Muse ).

Among them, "Nàng thơ" (Muse) is considered the most prominent hit in Hoang Dung's career, helping him connect more closely with a wider audience. The song has a romantic melody, rich and narrative lyrics, and has been covered by many artists and audiences on stages and social media platforms.

Earlier, on International Women's Day, March 8th, Hoang Dung publicly announced his six-year marriage to Khanh Linh. He revealed that they got married six years ago, when the singer turned 25. Hoang Dung said it was a major decision in both their lives. At that time, Khanh Linh also stopped her other work to focus on supporting him in his career. For many years, she has been his manager, taking care of every musical project, offering advice, and planning each concert.
