Hong Loan didn't know Thuong Tin had passed away, and didn't keep the funeral donations, so don't blame her?

Hong Loan recently stated that she had not heard any news about Thuong Tin's death. She also said she was unsure whether Thuong Tin attended the funeral of her father, the late artist Vu Linh, to pay his respects.

Accordingly, Hong Loan livestreamed to answer fans' questions about the controversy surrounding her absence from the funeral of the late artist Thuong Tin. Vu Linh's daughter admitted that she was unaware of the matter and didn't know if Thuong Tin attended her father's funeral: "Didn't you hear about Thuong Tin's funeral? No, I didn't know at all, and I don't even know if he attended my father's funeral. If I knew, I could share my condolences with the family. But honestly, I don't have any information right now."

Below the video, netizens were even more confused by Hong Loan's response. Many people argued that since the news of Thuong Tin's death was widely circulated on various platforms, it was hard to believe that Vu Linh's daughter would admit to knowing nothing about it: "How can you say you didn't know Uncle Thuong Tin passed away on social media these days?", "You've been on social media for two consecutive days, how could you not know?", "If you knew, you would go; if you didn't know, you wouldn't go. There's no need to overcomplicate things."

Some netizens defended Hong Loan, arguing that she was unaware of the attendance at Vu Linh's funeral because the list of donors was previously held by Hong Nhung and Hong Phuong for financial convenience in handling the funeral arrangements. To prove this point, Hong Loan stated: "I didn't have a list of which artists attended or didn't, so if anyone did, they'd kindly let me know, but I don't know anything about it."

Hong Loan also expressed her regret and apologized to the late artist Thuong Tin and his family for her unintentional oversight: "Honestly, if I could meet his family now, I would offer my condolences and support. Everyone should have asked them instead of just asking me. Honestly, I feel so sorry for myself. I'm the only one dealing with this. I can't eat or sleep because of it. Everything is my fault. I don't have the list, not even a funeral donation list in my hand, so how am I supposed to know who sent how much and how to show respect?"

In recent days, Hong Loan has become the center of attention after facing considerable criticism from netizens, who believe she lacked tact for not attending Thuong Tin's funeral. Many pointed out that when Vu Linh passed away, Thuong Tin, despite his illness and declining health, still made an effort to light an incense stick and bid farewell to his colleague at his final resting place.

Logically, Vu Linh's family should have attended Thuong Tin's funeral to show their respect and gratitude. However, because no one from Vu Linh's family was present, all the criticism fell on Hong Loan, who was accused of lacking tact. Coincidentally, the days of Thuong Tin's funeral coincided with Vu Linh's birthday, so Hong Loan was busy preparing a memorial party for her father. Although Hong Loan has since clarified the situation, the controversy seems far from over.
