Tung Duong speaks out after being attacked by Son Tung's fans?

Recently, singer Tung Duong shared about his "Phoenix Wings" project, released over two years ago. In the post, the singer stated that he and his team incorporated cultural symbols such as the Lac bird, bronze drums, and phoenix into the music video using modern visual language and digital effects.

Tung Duong emphasized that the exploration of national cultural elements does not stem from a trend but from the belief that the treasure trove of Vietnamese and Eastern culture still holds many values that need to be discovered , preserved, and recreated from a contemporary perspective. According to him, what is valuable is not which artist or team uses cultural symbols first, but how those values are more widely disseminated in artistic life.

"Tung Duong always feels happy when more and more works are focusing on national cultural values. Because ultimately, what's valuable isn't which team tackles it first, but that those values are spreading more and more strongly in today's art life. What remains after each work is not how the images appear, but the love and respect the artist has for their own culture," Tung Duong wrote.

Tung Duong's post appeared at the exact time the image of the mythical Lac bird in Son Tung's " Come My Way " music video was causing a stir. In his post, Tung Duong did not directly mention Son Tung M-TP or the controversies surrounding the singer's new music video. However, many negative comments and mentions of Son Tung M-TP still appeared under Tung Duong's post.

In response to the mixed reactions, Tung Duong replied: “You Sky (Son Tung's fans) are so rude. Read carefully. I'm praising your Son Tung. I'm happy that more and more teams are using Vietnamese cultural symbols in their music videos or incorporating folk music elements like Soobin's team. All of this is commendable and positive.”

Recently, Son Tung returned with the music video "Come My Way," which incorporates many traditional cultural elements in its visuals. The MV reached over 13 million views in just one day after its release. Notably, "Come My Way" also topped the trending charts in many countries and territories such as Japan, South Korea, Germany, and Singapore… However, in the MV, the detail of Son Tung standing on a mythical Lac bird has sparked debate.
