The Department of Culture and Sports will work with Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep because the clip "causes bad influence"

In response to a question from Dan Tri reporter about the incident related to the promotional video of circus artists Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Anh - Deputy Head of the Department of Building Cultural and Family Lifestyle, Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City (Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City) - responded at a press conference on the afternoon of October 26.

Regarding the verification of the incident and how to handle it, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City said that the promotional video with the image of artists Quoc Co - Quoc Nghiep balancing their heads while riding a motorbike is not under the licensing authority of the Department.

However, in its management role, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City will work with the two artists Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep on "using images of a husband and wife riding a motorbike without wearing a helmet, negatively affecting people's awareness and compliance with the law."

The Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City also said that the content of the promotional video has not been released but has been circulated on social networking platforms.

Therefore, it is necessary to have the participation of the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City in management to identify accounts posting videos on the Internet, consider handling the act of posting clips with illegal content, negatively affecting the awareness and compliance with the law of traffic participants.

Advertisers and advertising service providers must ensure and be responsible for the content of advertised products.

In the coming time, after receiving official conclusions from the authorities, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City will have appropriate comments.

Responding to a question from Dan Tri reporter about whether the advertising video of Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep violated Clause 4, Article 8 of the 2012 Advertising Law on advertising that affects urban aesthetics, traffic safety and order, and social safety, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City said that "there is not enough legal basis to apply sanctions for violations of the Advertising Law".

Previously, Thu Duc City Police investigated, verified and determined that the filming was carried out in a fenced area, on a road section not yet connected to the road traffic network.

In addition, during the filming process, unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter the filming area; there is a medical team; there is accident insurance for the entire production team and actors; the clip content uses cinematic techniques to remove equipment, vehicles and guards...

On October 25, Thu Duc City Police (HCMC) had initial information related to the clip of two artists Quoc Co (Giang Quoc Co, 39 years old) and Quoc Nghiep (Giang Quoc Nghiep, 34 years old) not wearing helmets and "overlapping their heads" while riding a motorbike, causing a stir in public opinion.

Through investigation, the police determined that around September, the two artists signed a contract with an electric motorbike company to advertise a new product to be launched at the end of 2023.

The road where the two artists performed is located in an apartment complex under the management of the investor, Thuan Viet Company, An Khanh Ward, Thu Duc City.

Through investigation, the police determined that the case of Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep driving electric motorbikes "head-on" while riding a motorbike was essentially different from the case of model Ngoc Trinh driving a motorbike to perform on a traffic route.

The route the two artists performed on has not been connected to the road network, so it is not subject to the Road Traffic Law. "This is an administrative case, there is no sign of a crime," Thu Duc City police said.
