MV of Ngu Ho Tuong group receives backlash for allegedly advertising betting website

The MV Anh em truoi sau nhu mot (Unity of Brothers) by the group Ngu Ho Tuong (Five Tiger Generals) was recently released and received backlash from the audience when it was discovered that it contained images that were related to a gambling website. In response to the wave of criticism, singers Ung Hoang Phuc, Khanh Phuong and the group members quietly deleted the old version of the MV and replaced it with an edited version.

The MV was released on the evening of September 18 by the group Ngu Ho Tuong, consisting of 5 singers: Khanh Phuong, Lam Chan Huy, Duong Ngoc Thai, Ung Hoang Phuc and Luu Hung. The product was released simultaneously on each artist's personal YouTube channel, with content praising the brotherhood and solidarity between long-time artists.

However, by the evening of September 21, many viewers discovered an unusual detail in the MV: from minute 1:00 onwards, in the scene where singer Khanh Phuong and the actress raise their glasses, a red line of text appears very quickly on the glass, which is said to be the name of a betting website. This image is clearer in the version released on singer Khanh Phuong's YouTube channel, while the version on Lam Chan Huy's channel has been blurred.

Audience reacts to the appearance of betting and gambling website names on the cups used by characters in the MV.

After changing the MV version, the image suspected of advertising the betting website was blurred.

In response to public opinion, the artists have replaced the new MV without images related to the above website. However, up to now, the group Ngu Ho Tuong as well as the related singers have not made any official statements, except to continue posting promotional content for the short film version of the same name.

This silence further angers the audience, who believe that artists are avoiding responsibility and underestimating public reactions, especially in the context of toxic content and disguised advertising increasingly infiltrating cultural and artistic products.

The appearance of images suspected of being related to gambling websites in music videos not only affects the reputation of artists, but also raises big questions about the awareness of law compliance and social responsibility of artists. Many opinions suggest that the authorities should quickly intervene, clearly verify the responsibilities of the parties involved, and avoid letting bad precedents continue in the current digital cultural environment.

ONLY LUCK
