Hung Huynh "Anh trai say hi" apologizes after being accused of plagiarizing BTS Jungkook's MV

On the night of December 17, Hung Huynh suddenly spoke up on his personal page after his new MV "Can't Close My Eyes" caused controversy because it had many similarities to Jungkook's (BTS) MV.

The singer said he couldn’t sleep after reading all the comments in the past few days. He appreciates all the feedback and considers it a lesson to improve himself.

"Please give me more comments. I will listen to all of you with all my heart to do better in the future. I will do it, thank you all very much.

After the recent incident, I would like to send a sincere apology to everyone for unintentionally letting this information affect everyone.

I am always grateful and will always try to absorb and learn with the most progressive spirit to improve in the future," Hung Huynh expressed.

At the same time, the MV "Can't Close My Eyes" was also no longer found on the male singer's YouTube channel. Previously, the MV attracted more than 200,000 views after half a day of posting.

"Can't Close My Eyes" is a work composed by Trung Tran, music produced by Kewtie, revolving around the story of a boy pursuing the girl he loves. In the MV directed by Kien Ung, Hung Huynh shows off his dancing ability to the dance-pop music.

The song is said to have a catchy melody, easy to listen to, suitable for Hung Huynh to show off his long-standing dancing ability.

However, besides his not-so-outstanding vocals, many viewers also commented that Hung Huynh's MV "Can't Close My Eyes" has many similarities with BTS member Jungkook's MV "Standing Next to You".

The MV "Standing next to you" also focuses on the male character, focuses on choreography and only has a few interactive scenes with the female lead character.

Some scenes and angles from below in the MV "Can't Close My Eyes" are staged quite similarly to the images in the MV that BTS members released in 2023.

Besides some supporters, the majority of the audience expressed their anger towards Hung Huynh and his new product. The keyword "Stop copying BTS" (stop copying BTS - PV) was trending on social network X (old Twitter).

Public opinion reacted harshly to Hung Huynh and his new MV.

On the evening of December 17, Koreaboo (South Korea) also posted an article about this incident. The article said that many similarities were pointed out including melody, style...

Koreaboo also mentioned that music producer Kewtie posted a picture of Michael Jackson on social media with the caption: "It all comes from here, why so tense?" This action is believed to be Kewtie's implication that Jungkook also copied from this artist.

Hung Huynh was born in 1999 in Dong Nai . In 2023, the singer participated in the Asia Super Young show in China, ranking 17th out of 60 contestants. Although he had the opportunity to work abroad, he said he wanted to return home to start a career.

Recently, he attracted attention when participating in the show Anh trai say hi, scoring points with his skillful choreography and bright stage presence. The singer has appeared in products such as: "I'm thinking about you", "Dau doc hon", "10/10".
