Don't think Vietnamese showbiz is like Korean, Chinese, Thai

Director Neko Le analyzed that for fans in Vietnam, artists' income is much lower than in Korea, China, and Thailand, so it is impossible to have a large crew.

Recently, famous singers from famous TV game shows continuously organize music shows and fan meetings.

The fan community was "uproaring" for many reasons. They thought that the singer's influence was great, and that it needed to be bigger than just selling a few hundred tickets. Some fans criticized the ticket sales. The artists had to explain to the organizers. Showbiz Vietnam does not have a large budget and large crew like Thailand, Korea, and China.

Fame comes with pressure

Recently, some fan communities have commented on the way FCs or artists' own crews operate, and how tickets are sold for some concerts.

For example, fans of talented guys, guys coming out from Brother overcame thousands of obstacles good Hello brother They think that their idol is famous and has great influence, so it's a waste for a concert or fan meeting to only sell a few hundred tickets.

Recently, the music night of the Cactus group (from (Brother overcame thousands of obstacles) On November 17 at SOL 8 stage ( Hanoi ), ticket sales were not suitable, so all tickets sold had to be canceled and resold in a new way.

Specifically, fans complained about the way tickets were sold via hotline numbers and the lack of announcement of ticket prices, quantity, opening hours...

One of the singers who rose to fame after Anh trai say hi Duong Domic faces the pressure of fame when rumored to be dating hot girl Linh Ka.

Through TV game shows, some long-time artists or young artists have new fans or update trends.

This trend is somewhat similar to showbiz in Korea, Thailand, and China - where audiences spend a lot of money to "feed" artists in many ways: buying albums, buying souvenirs produced by the artists themselves, buying tickets to concerts, fan meetings, giving artists tons of gifts (sometimes even giving bouquets of cash)...

Currently, Vietnamese showbiz is also learning from foreign fan models, so it is inevitable that there will be initial confusion.

Artists and audiences sympathize with each other

When fan communities continuously "storm" and give comments about event organization or crew operation, many artists have to speak up to explain and hope that the audience will understand and give them more time.

He said: "Because you are imagining the Vietnamese entertainment industry to be like Korea, China, or Thailand."

Many audiences expect concerts or fan meetings to be big, but in Vietnam, shows with about 1,000 people are very risky.

If the show is organized for 1,000 people but there are hundreds of empty seats, the show organizers will have to suffer a loss, so they need to choose a safe option.

"I know you love your idols, but don't be too harsh in criticizing the crew. If partners see that an artist has aggressive fans, who would dare to cooperate with them anymore?

We are trying to understand you better, so we hope you understand Vietnamese showbiz culture" - Neko Le wrote.

He added that in Vietnamese showbiz, the budget is not large enough like Korean, Chinese, and Thai entertainment companies for an artist to have a large crew to handle all problems.

Still Duong Domic, at the end of August, when there were dating rumors, he spoke up through a post on his fanpage but mentioned rapper Phap Kieu even though it was unrelated. Fans blamed Duong Domic's team for being tactless. After that, the team edited the post and posted another apology.

"Duong apologizes for the lack of rigor in his work with the crew regarding the information posted, which made people uncomfortable and caused misunderstandings among many viewers," the singer wrote.

On the social network Threads, these issues are often hotly discussed by fans. Besides mixed opinions, some viewers believe that because the artist has become famous in a short time, their team needs time to adapt to the large amount of work that has come.

Audiences want the entertainment industry to operate more professionally, and artists want audiences to understand the problems that exist. They both need to sympathize with each other.
