"I'm very sorry that many comments have affected the two sisters," Khanh Thi wrote on her personal page.

Previously, the dancesport champion posted about many people borrowing money from her but not paying it back, including mentioning "the singer who participated in Dancing with the Stars and said she urgently needed 80 million VND... it's been almost 13 years now."

After the post, the online community immediately called out Thu Minh and Thuy Tien - two singers who participated in Dancing with the Stars in 2011.
