Jack confirmed that he did not go to the drag, asked for permission, Messi's side agreed to use the image, the lawyer "stepped in"

In recent days, after releasing the MV "From where I was born" with the appearance of Messi, Jack caused a stir and questioned whether or not to ask permission to use the image of the famous male player.

Along with that is the noise about the amount of 60 billion to invite Messi to the MV or the accusation of deception, not transparent when being connected to meet the superstar of the world football village.

In the face of the noise, Jack recently officially spoke out through giving interviews in 1 newspaper and posting information on his personal page.

Specifically, Jack affirmed that his team did not release rumors of spending 60 billion, the information "Jack spent 60 billion VND to invite Messi to appear in the product" is fabricated.

The singer said he felt sad that the original good goals were distorted. Jack claims "From Where I Was Born" is a commemorative film, telling the story of realizing dreams through music. The singer born in 1997 revealed that he discussed and asked for permission to use the image during the trip to meet Messi. Messi's side agreed on the condition that the image of the male player not be used for commercial, political or national purposes.

Jack thinks that making a video "From where I was born" to share with the community, spreading the story of nurturing a dream and determination to fulfill that dream. So the singer believes Messi will also support this choice. Regarding being asked to delete the MV, Jack's side said the requesters did not have the authority to decide. At the same time, the singer also revealed that he has a great opportunity to meet Messi again and is cherishing many ideas to have companion and community-oriented activities with Messi.

"I'm also just someone who wants to meet idols once in my life and tried the best I can to achieve that dream. I repeat, this is not a "drag trip" as information circulates on social media.

From the beginning, I knew it was difficult to meet Messi, and as soon as I learned the cost of this journey, I had to consider whether I could afford to pursue this dream. In the end, I was determined to fulfill this dream," Jack told Tuoi Tre newspaper.

Sharing about Jack thinking that he had spent a lot of money for the person to connect with Messi, businessman Pham Ngoc Quoc Cuong told Tuoi Tre newspaper that the cost was less than a tenth of the VND 60 billion.

The music video for "From Where I Was Born" was released by Jack at 20:00 on August 31. Currently, this music video has nearly 5.5 million views on Youtube and reached Top 1 Trending Youtube Vietnam.

Regarding the noise of Jack's new MV, the lawyer said that it is necessary to determine whether the 9X singer has asked Messi's permission to include the football star image in the MV or not.

Lawyer Ha Hai (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association) HCM) said that when you want to post an image of someone, you need to ask permission and get consent. "If Messi's side allows to take pictures, allows the use of images in the MV, it is completely legal, there is no discussion. But if the player does not agree, the use of the image is against the law," he said.

The lawyer said Messi is a celebrity, in the case of posting without permission, sometimes affecting mentally and materially. "Whether in Vietnam or any other country, the law stipulates that images are sacrosanct. Unless permission is allowed," the lawyer said.

According to lawyer Ha Hai, Jack is a public figure, he needs to be more aware of this to avoid causing noise and damage. He put the case that if the singer from Ben Tre has not agreed and asked for Messi's permission, it is necessary to remove the image of the football star before things get more complicated.

Sharing the same view, lawyer Nguyen Van Hau (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association) HCM) says that according to the law, when using someone's image, their consent is required. Article 32 of the Civil Code states that the individual has the right to his image. "The use of the image needs to be consented to by the person. If used for commercial purposes, there must be remuneration and an agreement," Hau said.

Lawyer Nguyen Van Hau said that Messi is a famous football star, so the image has commercial value. "According to article 592 of the Civil Code, if Jack has not asked for permission but uses Messi's image, when the south of this player sues in court, Jack must bear the costs that Messi suffered damage or mental compensation," lawyer Nguyen Van Hau responded.
