Kiep sau la nguoi Viet Nam is still a Vietnamese person is the first song in the community art project Viet Nam Love that has just been released.

The song features Quoc Thien (Anh trai qua ngan cong gai), Quan AP (Anh trai say hi), Lam Bao Ngoc (Em xinh say hi), Duong Hoang Yen (Chi dep dap gio) and artist Thu Huyen, expressing love for the homeland and national pride.

Audiences highly appreciate the melody and lyrics of Kiep sau van nguoi Viet, expressing heroism and emotion.

However, the images in the MV caused controversy such as: the bronze drum motif was distorted by AI, the national flag was not up to standard, the position of the archipelagos on the map was not in the correct position and the writing was not clear, the hero Tran Quoc Toan crushed an orange in the plain but the AI-created background was hills and mountains.

Producer and director Tran Thanh Trung - the initiator of the community art project Viet Nam Love - responded that the MV Kiep sau van la nguoi Viet Nam was made in a descriptive, metaphorical artistic style, not a documentary or historical reconstruction. He hopes the audience will accept it as an artistic entertainment MV.

“From the beginning, the crew planned to produce the MV using AI, anticipating that it might encounter controversial debates.

When choosing to apply AI technology to MV, we accept the risks, the audience's compliments and criticisms. We welcome the audience's comments, the crew will take note and make changes as much as possible to make the product better" - Mr. Tran Thanh Trung said.

Mr. Pham Vinh Khuong - the MV's AI director - said: "We do not recreate or reconstruct history, but only follow inspiration, creating an overall picture. If there is no beginning, we do not know when the MV will be made, so we accept and accept that if there are mistakes, we will correct them."

The project's art director, Kiora Ngo, said he had researched and consulted many cultural factors, drawing inspiration from them to create. He added that he would research the ratio between AI and real objects outside, and better control the output image.

Director Tran Thanh Trung said that making the MV Kiep sau van la nguoi Viet Nam comes from national pride. He said he will learn from experience and perfect future products with the spirit of "learning while building".
