Hoang Thuy Linh is arrogant.
On September 6, Hoang Thuy Linh held a press conference to launch her first concert in her career called Vietnamese Concert. At the event, when reporters asked about her ability to sing live when organizing a concert, she did not answer the question directly but told a roundabout story with the main idea that the female singer had two healthy legs, but because it was raining, she fell. When she fell, people around her said she could not walk. Then, she asked the reporter back: "Do you think I can walk?"

The answer was considered off-topic and condescending, causing Hoang Thuy Linh to fall into a media crisis for nearly two weeks afterwards. On September 18, in a letter to the audience and the media, Hoang Thuy Linh apologized: "I understand that I have the responsibility to apologize to my beloved audience for the kindness I received from everyone. That is also the motivation for me to strive and try hard over all these years. Throughout my artistic career, I have always known my strengths and weaknesses, trying to perfect my style in the music genre I have chosen."
The apology did not help Hoang Thuy Linh regain the success of the Vietnamese concert. Besides the few comments praising the production and investment of the program, her live singing ability was dissected and analyzed. Many opinions said that the female singer had a very bad voice without using studio effects.
Jack used Messi's image in the MV From Where I Was Born
In early September, Jack became the center of attention when he included the image of meeting Lionel Messi - the world football legend in the MV From where I was born . Although it only appeared for a few seconds, Messi's hug for Jack caused a stir in the online community. In the sharing part at the previous press conference, Jack said that he had to pay a large amount of money to meet his idol as well as bring the whole crew to France.

The noise broke out when rumors appeared that Jack spent 60 billion VND to invite Messi to appear in the MV. After that, a businessman said that the male singer was dishonest and violated the contract.
On September 7, the male singer responded to the noise, saying that he had spent 5 billion to give to the businessman who connected him to meet Messi in France. In addition, all travel and accommodation expenses during the trip were taken care of by him. In response, the male businessman once again affirmed that Jack should provide evidence that he had asked permission (in writing) from Messi to include the image of the meeting in the MV. Jack's side did not respond to this.
After that, Jack continued to receive fierce criticism from the audience, from Lionel Messi's large fan base, when he took advantage of Messi's image to promote the MV.
The noisy copyright dispute between Do Hieu and Noo Phuoc Thinh
On October 31, musician Do Hieu posted an article on his personal page about the copyright issues of songs he composed and performed by singer Noo Phuoc Thinh.

Do Hieu shared that for a long time, the two sides have not been able to complete negotiations and agree on issues related to copyright costs, nor have they renewed the contract. Therefore, from October 28, all acts of performing and using the above works without the author's consent are considered acts of copyright infringement of musical works.
After a series of unofficial statements from both sides on his personal page, Noo Phuoc Thinh decided to speak up to the press. He said that he bought the exclusive rights to each song for two years. The story of the request to renew the contract was discussed by Do Hieu with the singer's side a month ago, through his manager. "However, I decided not to renew the exclusive contract, for some reasons," the male singer revealed. When there is a need, he will discuss it again with the musician and fully respect the regulations on performance copyright of the Vietnam Center for Music Copyright Protection. In addition, Noo Phuoc Thinh said that he only signed the performance rights with digital music companies, the remaining copyrights are signed by the musician himself with these units. Noo Phuoc Thinh's explanation was approved by the majority of the audience.
In addition, in 2023, manager Hoang Tuan - manager of singer Dan Truong also filed a lawsuit against three singers including Thai Trinh, Bang Cuong and Duong Edward for using exclusive music from HT Productions. However, the incident soon calmed down because the parties involved actively resolved it afterwards.
