Kỳ Duyên speaks out when Steven Nguyễn adjusts Thiên Ân's dress strap; netizens react negatively.

The moment Đoàn Thiên Ân unexpectedly stumbled on stage at a recent awards ceremony quickly became a hot topic of discussion online. Notably, his wife, Kỳ Duyên, also spoke out.

Within just a few hours, the clip capturing the incident was widely shared on various social media platforms, attracting thousands of comments. However, the person who made netizens blush on her behalf wasn't the beauty queen who experienced the mishap, but rather actor Steven Nguyen – who unintentionally found himself in an embarrassing situation because of... the off-the-shoulder dress of Miss Grand Vietnam 2022.

According to the video that went viral, as Thien An stepped onto the stage to receive her award, she unexpectedly tripped on the steps and fell forward in front of hundreds of guests. Steven Nguyen, who was standing right next to her, quickly caught the beauty queen, helped her regain her balance, and accompanied her to the center of the stage. This timely and chivalrous act initially received much praise from the live audience.

However, the situation became awkward when Steven Nguyen continued to pull on Thien An's dress strap, claiming that the beauty queen's outfit had slipped down during her fall. Ironically, Thien An's dress was intentionally designed with an off-the-shoulder style and a low neckline to create a seductive effect.

This "mistake" made many netizens both laugh at its cuteness and feel embarrassed for the actor. Nevertheless, the majority of viewers praised Steven Nguyen's quick thinking and goodwill, and appreciated Thien An's calmness and tact in adjusting her attire and continuing to complete the award acceptance speech flawlessly.

Besides the lighthearted and humorous comments, the incident also sparked considerable controversy. Some viewers felt that Thien An's somewhat evasive and distant reaction towards Steven Nguyen was rather "far-fetched," especially since the actor had shown gallantry and support in the awkward situation. In response to the criticism that Thien An overreacted, Ky Duyen, who has a close relationship with the beauty queen, spoke out in her defense.

Sharing her thoughts on the incident, Ky Duyen said that Thien An's keeping his distance was understandable: "After all, she's a girl, and being in such close contact with a guy, especially on their first meeting, made her feel shy. I think he should have stopped at just helping her onto the stage." Not stopping there, Ky Duyen also thanked Steven Nguyen for his timely assistance: "Thank you, Steven Nguyen, for helping my little one. The stage was so slippery that she fell. I feel so sorry for her."

Kỳ Duyên's statement was interpreted as a way of asserting her claim over her boyfriend, indirectly "scolding" Steven Nguyễn in an extremely adorable way. However, this move by the beauty queen continued to spark much debate on social media. Some viewers argued that Steven Nguyễn was inconsiderate for arbitrarily touching the female artist's clothing on a crowded stage.

Conversely, many opinions defended the actor, arguing that he simply thought Thien An's dress strap had come undone due to the fall and helped adjust it, with no other intentions: "If he didn't help, they'd say he wasn't chivalrous, but if he did help, he'd still be criticized," "Even someone being considerate gets scrutinized," "He thought it was just a dress strap coming undone, what's the big deal?"
