As previously reported by TC Photography & Life, a video showing Ngọc Mai and Quốc Nghiệp playing with their child in the US, which included the three-striped flag of the former Saigon regime, caused outrage and calls for a boycott. Ngọc Mai and Quốc Nghiệp explained that they had no control over the flag in the video and "promised to learn from this experience." However, public opinion remained indignant, with many accusing the couple of irresponsibility. Ngọc Mai and Quốc Nghiệp have since locked their personal Facebook pages and fan pages.
