Lan Quynh apologized to... Tan Nhan

For the past two days, Facebook has been abuzz with singer Dinh Trang's post "accusing" three young artists, including Lan Quynh - the 2023 Sao Mai Chamber Music Champion - who was helped by her in the 2022 Sao Mai competition, but created a private chat group to "badmouth" her teacher with derogatory, sarcastic words, "dissecting" the shortcomings of Dinh Trang's music night.

Dinh Trang "heartbroken" because of being despised and ungrateful by students

Singer Dinh Trang wrote: "Recently, on the evening of September 30, Tia Sang Newspaper organized a mini show for me, this is a memory marking Dinh Trang's return to the stage after 3 years of completing her role as a mother.

I saw my student sitting below silently watching me from start to finish – Lan Quynh. I was secretly happy, thinking that my old student had come to encourage me, but when the program ended, she stood up and left without a word of goodbye.

After that, I read the messages from the closed group Operaphillia, they discussed and assigned who would go see me sing, Quynh filmed and sent my mistakes to the group, then my former students and LVH commented and judged me like the photo below.

Singer Dinh Trang painfully released evidence "accusing" 3 former students of using derogatory, ungrateful, and contemptuous words toward her.

I was stunned, is there anything colder than the human heart? You guys took out my flaws and dissected them, gloating, especially Lan Quynh with her very profound and sarcastic words. Putting aside all the teacher-student relationship, instead of sharing my hardships with me, now you coldly dissected my body and my post-partum voice.

It is bitter when those are the people I have devoted my heart to and hoped for. I taught you without charging any tuition fees. I always think of you, but now you hurt me by bringing me up to discuss, judge and mock me in a group with 33 members, all of whom are music students.

I was shaking, my heart was beating fast and then I sat back and asked why they did that to me? I stayed up all night reading every message they thanked me for, reading the group messages carefully to understand their motives, since the day I discovered the truth, it has been 10 days now.

I have now regained my mental balance and today I want to bring this story here. Because I know, if I don't bring it to light, not only me but also many other artists will one day fall into the same situation as me " - Dinh Trang wrote on her personal page.

According to Dinh Trang, after giving birth, recovering her health and voice was very difficult for her. However, she still accepted those difficulties and always tried her best to regain her voice and figure. However, the day she returned to her career, the very people who had asked for help and were grateful to her now despised, criticized and hindered the singer's inspiration to work.

At the end of the article, the singer emphasized that the right to praise and criticize belongs to each person, and she always accepts everyone's comments positively. However, professional exchanges should take place in a clean, healthy manner with kind words to create better behavior in the artist community, especially for young people who are just starting their artistic career.

Dinh Trang said she was very sad and shocked when reading the messages that Lan Quynh, Ha My, and Minh Man said about her in the private chat group.

Dinh Trang's post immediately "caused a storm" on social networks with 1,400 shares and 1,900 comments. Under the singer's post, a series of Vietnamese artists expressed their sympathy for Dinh Trang.

Singer Nguyen Tran Trung Quan wrote: " I am also a person who inspires the profession, a trainer, a teacher for many generations of pop music artists. But I am glad that I have not encountered the above situation. And I am heartbroken to read the above. So terrible. A bowl of water is really spilled. Life is inherently bitter, but I did not think of such an anti-teacher ideology! I share with you."

Singer Anh Tho expressed: "I read Dinh Trang's story and tears welled up in my eyes. You know she loves her students very much and she once asked you to teach some of her students when they were admitted to the Conservatory of Music. She even told you, please help them because they are very poor. I hope the next students will learn from this experience.

All teachers love their students, not for material things, but just so that they study hard, know how to behave, and love their teachers more. Don't regret that."

Singer Thanh Le encouraged: "A little sad, a little disappointed and also a little regretful... In my eyes, Trang has always been a person who is careful when speaking, profound and above all, an upright, sincere and kind person... I believe that when bringing to light the lives of those you once loved like that, you have considered and thought very carefully. I believe that there are still many talented and honest students who will need you to teach and inspire... never let your energy, enthusiasm and passion run out just because of what happened today, Trang!"

After the story of singer Dinh Trang, singer Bao Yen - Champion of Sao Mai 2015 chamber music also suddenly shared her upsetting story with 2 of the 4 characters mentioned by Dinh Trang.

She called on artists to join hands in boycotting violence on social networks and other impure actions that some people have done, are doing, and will do to artists.

The 2015 Sao Mai Champion emphasized that music really needs music lovers. We always appreciate and welcome music friends, and constructive criticism is valuable.

But the act of insulting, belittling, offending, mocking, and flaunting copied knowledge, causing division among artists and creating chaos in the professional environment, is an act of sabotage. The female singer hopes that artists will be able to work in a healthy artistic environment.

Lan Quynh wrote a status to apologize and "threaten" to use the law.

More than a day after Dinh Trang and Bao Yen's posts, on the morning of October 13, singer Lan Quynh wrote an apology status on her personal page.

Lan Quynh apologized to the public for "the information that affected everyone's mood" . She also said that she was wrong for her inappropriate behavior and "would like to learn deeply from my own mistakes".

Lan Quynh - Sao Mai 2022 Champion of Chamber Music

However, at the end of the status, Lan Quynh affirmed: "The person I have to apologize to if I "bite the hand that feeds me" is my teacher - Deputy Head of the Tan Nhan Vocal Department. She is the person I respect, she taught me for the past 3 years of study, I will never betray her.

As for the person who slandered me by claiming to be a teacher and accepting me as a student, with the aim of bringing me down, draining my spirit, honor and finances , the law will deal with them."

Immediately, many colleagues expressed their dissatisfaction with this apology. Singer Tien Hung commented: "You should look at yourself, you were the one who came to Trang, asked her for advice, and prepared your essay for the exam.

Ms. Trang has spent her time and effort for you, that time is the time of a woman with two children, she is very tired but still spends time for you. No one will suddenly spend time for you if they do not love you. Not all teachers who officially teach you in school are teachers.

In society, those who help and guide you when you are in trouble are worthy of being your teachers. But you treat her like that.

I have serious mental problems. I have been really quiet these past few days to monitor but now I can't stand it anymore."

Tai Duong - a friend of Lan Quynh commented: "I am truly from the same hometown and I also really love your voice. But in this case, I think you really did not handle it well, because whether she taught you or not, she is still a senior, and you yourself created a group chat and said that to her, which was already not good. You apologized but your ending was not really complete, Quynh.

I'm not the one involved but I hope you'll reconsider. When you're young, you can make mistakes but you also have to be brave enough to take responsibility. Don't let your ego take away all your previous efforts."

Media expert Nguyen Ngoc Long said: "Anyone can "speak out" and say bad things about others behind their backs. If you say something wrong, just go to your teacher and sincerely apologize, she will definitely forgive you. Once she forgives you, ask her to say something on your behalf and everything will be fine. Lan Quynh did not choose that way, but argued back, threatened to use the law, and denied the "selling oneself for a teacher" relationship...

This move deserves to be included in the textbook on using gasoline to put out fires.

We have not been able to contact Lan Quynh and the main characters in this noisy story. VOV.VN will continue to inform readers.
