A warning for celebrities

His apology, claiming he "subconsciously didn't know shisha was illegal," hasn't received much sympathy. This is because, as a celebrity, Độ Mixi hasn't demonstrated an understanding that, given his influence, a mistake can have serious consequences. Furthermore, the use of profanity during his apology has received mixed reactions. A 29-year-old male viewer, T. N., commented: "A person who is supposed to be an inspiration and role model should reconsider their behavior. Not to mention, every sentence he says is full of profanity, so people should think twice before letting their children watch it."

Rising to prominence through live gaming streams, Độ Mixi reached a niche audience: the gaming community, seeking enjoyment and fulfilling his passion. His language on live streams is unpretentious, blunt, and down-to-earth, making it humorous and relatable within the gaming community. With his engaging commentary, Độ Mixi gradually attracted a significant audience, currently one of Vietnam's top streamers with a massive following of 5.6 million on Facebook and 7.2 million on TikTok. Beyond social media, Độ Mixi has gradually ventured into community events and programs, most recently the "Sao Nhập Ngũ 2025" (Celebrities Join the Army 2025) program.

Undeniably, with his immense popularity, Độ Mixi has successfully promoted noble, humane, and socially beneficial activities such as building bridges and schools, assisting flood victims, and diligently engaging in charity work. His fundraising efforts have garnered billions of Vietnamese dong. However, alongside spreading positive values, the streamer has also faced criticism for his "noisy and vulgar" language, and more recently, for his casual use of illegal substances despite having previously spearheaded campaigns against e-cigarettes. This deviant behavior has the potential to mislead viewers. Furthermore, young people – Độ Mixi's main follower group – are particularly susceptible to influence and imitation of their idol.

With the rapid development of cyberspace, even a single mistake can have unpredictable consequences, especially for celebrities. The greater their influence, the higher their responsibility to set a good example. Therefore, influential and inspiring individuals need to exercise greater self-control and be more careful and meticulous in their speech and actions to avoid spreading false values in society. As viewers, the public should also be selective, accepting positive entertainment content and maintaining a correct perspective when following information on the internet today.
