This is a very small number compared to Den's previous famous MVs.

MV Diary of life, paving the way for a double album 421 by rapper Karik, also only reached 6.4 million views after a month, currently ranked 25th in the top trending music.

Still Dan Truong caused controversy again when releasing MV Hey oil wallet produced by AI, with an AI-generated image of himself, moving his mouth along to the song.

"Of course the AI images will not be as vivid or beautiful as the real ones, but this AI MV relies on new technology as a gift I want to give to the audience" - Dan Truong shared.

Although the idea tried to follow modern trends, the MV had images that were considered a bit fake, strange, and emotionally dry. The MV reached 596,000 views after 2 weeks but did not really spread.

Many audiences hope that Dan Truong will make a MV starring himself to bring more emotions.
