Nguyen Lam Thai is not a student at the University of Theatre and Cinema in Ho Chi Minh City.

(NLDO) – In a correction announcement on December 8, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education confirmed that Nguyen Lam Thai did not study at the school.

Inaccurate information from the incident has damaged the reputation of the training work of the University of Theatre and Cinema in Ho Chi Minh City.

In the context of modern media, the speed of news dissemination sometimes far exceeds the speed of truth verification. The case involving Nguyen Lam Thai – who was detained by the police to investigate the theft of property of a Miss Cosmo Mexico contestant in Da Lat – is a clear example.

When some press agencies and electronic information sites hastily linked this individual’s case to the Ho Chi Minh City University of Theatre and Cinema, the consequences did not stop at misinformation, but also negatively impacted the reputation of a long-standing art training institution. Misinformation and its consequences for the reputation of the school.

Many news articles in recent days have cited or affirmed that Nguyen Lam Thai "used to study" or "was a student" of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education.

The fact that this unverified information appeared in the press and on social networks has caused misunderstandings among the public and parents of students in the professional art world. This incident has seriously affected the reputation of the school.

As a place that has trained many generations of directors, actors, cameramen, screenwriters, etc. who have made great contributions to the country's theater and cinema, SK-DA University of course needs to be protected from all baseless accusations.

This information is incorrect.

The reputation of an art education institution lies not only in the quality of training but also in the image and brand built over decades. Therefore, linking an individual’s illegal incident to the school’s reputation is an act of direct damage.

Ho Chi Minh City University of Theatre and Cinema confirmed on the school's information portal: "There is no Nguyen Lam Thai in any training system."

Accordingly, there is no record of any exam, admission, enrollment or current student under the name Nguyen Lam Thai (born in 2000, residing in Ho Chi Minh City). • The school has never issued any documents, certificates or student confirmations to this individual.

The information about Nguyen Lam Thai being a student of the school did not originate from the school and is completely false. These are strong and transparent affirmations, aiming to clearly separate the personal responsibility of the violator from the honor of the school and the community of students and alumni.

Ho Chi Minh City University of Theatre and Cinema requested some newspapers and websites to make corrections.

The correction statement emphasized: the act of press agencies, news sites, KOLs, fanpages... arbitrarily attaching the school's name to an unrelated incident, without verification, is an irresponsible act and violates professional principles.

To remedy the consequences, SK-DA University requests: Immediately remove or correct incorrect details; Publish public corrections in accordance with the Press Law; Do not use the school's name in subsequent news articles without official basis or confirmation.

This request is in line with legal requirements and journalistic standards. It also reiterates an important lesson: speed is no substitute for accuracy.

A notable point in the announcement is the school's view on education: "All violations of the law by individuals must be considered on the basis of personal responsibility before the law, and cannot be attributed to the school as a whole."

SK-DA University has long attached importance to cultivating professional ethics, civic awareness and social responsibility for students. Therefore, any social violation cannot be automatically associated with the collective of tens of thousands of students and alumni who have contributed to the country's art.

The case involving Nguyen Lam Thai is a warning about the downside of hasty media coverage. The correction statement from the University of Theatre and Cinema in Ho Chi Minh City is not only to protect the reputation of the school but also to affirm a basic principle: no one is allowed to post unverified information that damages the reputation of the organization and the community.
