Hoang Tu Thao quits singing to sell sanitary napkins, fans criticiz.e his tric.k of exploiting women's health

In recent days, the country of a billion people has been abuzz with the news that showbiz president Hoang Tu Thao has quit singing to join the sanitary napkin industry. On the first day of selling his products, he sold sanitary napkins at a dirt cheap price, causing many people to doubt the quality of this product.

In March 2025, artist Hoang Tu Thao announced his entry into the sanitary napkin industry with a commitment to "transparent processes", immediately creating a wave of fierce controversy on social networks.

During the livestream, he publicly condemned the painfu.l issues in the industry, and affirmed that he would personally run a "completely transparent" factory, where the entire process of making sanitary napkins is broadcast 24/7, allowing consumers to directly monitor.

"Everything is done by machines, the first person to touch the product is the consumer" - he emphasized. This statement helped him receive a lot of praise from the online community.

On the evening of April 11, Hoang Tu Thao continued to livestream to introduce more about the factory and new products. He launched 49,500 trial packs of sanitary napkins for only 1 cent/pack (3,500 VND) - all sold out in less than a minute, but also caused him to lose 460,000 followers because of suspicion of "branding". The male artist also made netizens "fall in love" when he went live on livestream, holding sanitary napkins and meticulously instructing how to use them step by step.

Not only did he share enthusiastically, Hoang Tu Thao also held up a sanitary napkin to give instructions with great enthusiasm, and invited a female colleague to help illustrate. Every move showed that the male artist was really serious and devoted to this business project. The audience was delighted by Hoang Tu Thao's cuteness.

Previously, this industry in the country of a billion people had continuous problems with quality. As an essential monthly product for women, sanitary napkins have been continuously involved in scandals for many years. The 3.15 program of China Central Television (CCTV) reported that the chain of processes for making sanitary napkins, diapers and disposable underwear in this country caused a stir: defective products were recycled, mixed with medical waste, the production line was dirty, workers worked with bare hands, the amount of bacteria in the products exceeded the standard by hundreds of times.

"Consumers not only need low prices, but also demand safety. This is the bottleneck that traditional methods in China have not solved" - 163 wrote.

Huang Zitao’s strategy was aimed directly at this problem: at a price of 15 yuan per pack (30% lower than international brands), he expose.d the industry’s huge profit margins and proposed a safe, transparent solution. In just a few minutes, 50,000 trial packs were sold out, demonstrating the great demand for a safe, reasonably priced product.

Previously, the male artist presented a product quality inspection certificate, emphasizing that he was betting his reputation on investing in the industry. Hoang Tu Thao's factory operates automatically, only using human labor for packaging and sending orders. In addition, they have a separate room with a light to check for yellow stains on cotton.

Losing half a million followers, many people still defend Huang Zitao. 163 wrote, "History proves that those who truly revolutionize are often outsiders. Xiaomi - from phones to power banks, robot vacuum cleaners thanks to the philosophy of high quality - low price, Tesla - using software to redefine cars, handling traditional car brands. Huang Zitao applies the model of 'smart factory livestream monitoring', pricing 30% lower than imported goods."

163 believes that "outsiders" like Huang Zitao are not bound by traditional interests, dare to break old rules and bring new ideas such as monitoring the process via livestream. The star effect helps them quickly build trust and shorten the time to approach the market.

Many people doubt the quality of the products supervised by Hoang Tu Thao, but still consider this a career gambl.e. "There are many controversies but he keeps his promise. This is something that many famous people find difficult to do" - the audience wrote.

It is known that Hoang Tu Thao chose to invest in this industry with the "big asset" model, meaning that the male artist bought the entire factory and personally reformed it, applying a transparent process. Hoang Tu Thao installed surveillance cameras in the factory, broadcasted the sanitary napkin production process live to the public, and even planned to open it for people to visit.

Hoang Tu Thao and his wife - singer Tu Nghe Duong - personally led the product quality inspection team, emphasizing safety and setting extremely strict standards.
