Dao Quang Ha: Who is the Tiktoker who cycled from North to South and was recently detained?

Dao Quang Ha, a tiktoker known for his cross-country cycling journey, which caused a strong response on April 30, was suddenly detained by Thanh Hoa police. He is being investigated for appropriating charity money after the collision with a relief vehicle.

Dao Quang Ha (2001) was born and raised in Hung Yen. Like many other Generation Z youth, Ha was soon exposed to and proficient in social networking platforms such as TikTok and Facebook. Although there is information that Ha studied at a university in Hanoi and was nicknamed "head of the department transport block" during his studies, his path to fame began with backpacking trips, walking and cycling across Vietnam.

With a passion for discovery and a desire to capture the beauty of the country, Ha created a Fanpage and TikTok channel called "Ha and Vietnam". Initially, his content mainly revolved around personal experiences, overcoming physical challenges on long journeys. He once made a 3,000km cross-country trek, starting from Lung Cu (Ha Giang) and ending at Ca Mau Cape.

This journey lasted nearly 8 months, with shared expenses being quite economical, mainly coming from personal business money and small support from family. It is the close, genuine content about overcoming difficulties and fatigue on the road, along with the optimistic attitude and patriotism shown through each film, that helped Dao Quang Ha quickly attract a large number of followers, building the image of a Tiktoker who inspires a positive lifestyle, surpassing oneself and discovering the beauty of Vietnam.

Thong Nhat Cycling and the Peak of Fame: Symbol of Youth and Patriotism

The event that brought Dao Quang Ha's name to the peak of fame and became a positive symbol in the eyes of the public was the cycling journey from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2024).

The journey, named "Reunification Cycling", lasted more than 1,700km. With the aim of expressing patriotism, national pride and the desire to spread positive energy to young people, Ha regularly updated each milestone he passed, attracting millions of interactions. The image of the young man tirelessly cycling under the sun and wind, overcoming challenges of endurance and harsh weather touched the emotions of many people. The public had special admiration for Ha, considering him a strong inspiration to the young generation about the spirit of steel, the desire to explore and national pride.

The peak of his popularity was when Dao Quang Ha came to Ho Chi Minh City on the occasion of the 30/4 National Day. Many people came to welcome him and express their admiration. The image of "Ha cycling" spread strongly, and was mentioned by many news sites and newspapers as a typical example of Vietnamese youth. During this period, Dao Quang Ha almost became an "idol" of the online community, especially those who love backpacking and active movements on social networks.

The Casing Collapses: Greed Rises After the Aid Truck Accident

The case of Tiktoker Dao Quang Ha being detained by Thanh Hoa Provincial Police has shocked public opinion, exposing the dark side behind the image of an inspirational young man. Ha, owner of the Fanpage "Ha and Vietnam", is a member of the Dak Lak volunteer group providing flood relief.

The opportunity to strengthen Ha's good image was shattered after a traffic accident between a relief truck and a car, resulting in the group having to pay 100 million VND in compensation. Taking advantage of this incident, although not present at the scene, Dao Quang Ha called for support on social networks to "support the volunteer group" to compensate for the damage, and publicly disclosed his personal account number.

The benefactors had trusted Ha to transfer a total of about 83 million VND. However, according to the investigation of Thanh Hoa Police, Ha only transferred more than 43 million VND to the convoy. The remaining amount, about 40 million VND, was appropriated by Ha and transferred to his personal account for personal use. Notably, Ha had appropriated the entire 40 million VND of the 43 million VND that a benefactor had privately transferred and did not want to make it public.

The act of taking advantage of charity activities for personal gain and appropriating charity money has led to Dao Quang Ha being detained for investigation. The incident has caused a wave of deep disappointment, erasing the beautiful image of Tiktoker "Ha Dac Biking" that was once admired by the public. This is an expensive lesson about transparency and the price to pay for greed, damaging the community's trust in charity activities.

Legal trouble and public disappointment: The price of greed

On October 21, 2025, Thanh Hoa Provincial Police announced the temporary detention of Dao Quang Ha to investigate the act of appropriating property to call for charity, related to the case of abusing democratic freedoms to infringe upon the interests of organizations and individuals. Ha is the third subject to be detained in connection with this case. At the police station, Ha admitted all of his crimes.

The news of Dao Quang Ha being detained has caused a wave of strong reactions on social networks. The online community, especially those who once loved and trusted his image, expressed shock, astonishment and extreme disappointment. The symbol of a passionate, kind and patriotic young man that Ha had worked so hard to build has completely collapsed. Many comments expressed regret for "misreading the idol" and affirmed that the act of appropriating charity money and taking advantage of other people's trust is unacceptable.

Dao Quang Ha's case is not only a valuable lesson for him personally about the price of greed, but also a strong warning for the online community and those doing charity work. It shows that the line between inspiration and taking advantage of trust is very fragile, and emphasizes the need for transparency in all fundraising and use of charity funds, whether by individuals or organizations. From an inspirational Tiktoker, Dao Quang Ha has become a typical example of fame comes with responsibility, and any wrongdoing must be paid for by law.
