Mac Trung Kien - "Fat Fish Howling" The Face: Noisy "buying prizes", disparaging his appearance, now making an unbelievable makeover?

Once a popular name after being crowned the highest of The Face 2018. But the name Mac Trung Kien is now becoming more and more blurred and almost disappeared from showbiz.

Mac Trung Kien was born on June 13, 1997 in Kinh Mon town, Hai Duong province. Before starting his career, he was a student at Vietnam Maritime University. Mac Trung Kien started his career in 2017. However, it was only when he joined The Face Vietnam 2018 that he became known to many people.

Right in the early episodes, Mac Trung Kien appeared with the image of a student and was ridiculed as "howling fat" for possessing a non-standard body. Coach Vo Hoang Yen at that time said to Trung Kien in a panic: "Pull your stomach into me, squeeze into me... my stomach flutters!". Not stopping there, the female supermodel repeatedly let go of exclamations towards Mac Trung Kien: "Why are you so fat! My belly flutters like a howling pot of fish fat, not acceptable!".

At the final night, Mac Trung Kien excellently won The Face 2018. The model born in 1997 from Hai Duong has the advantage of a beautiful face, an ideal body with a height of 1.85 m. However, Mac Trung Kien was commented to have limited lisp and shyness, and his posing and expression skills were only satisfactory, not excellent.

Some commented that Hai Duong did not deserve the award. Compared to two strong competitors, Quynh Anh and Tram Anh, Trung Kien was not appreciated at the beginning of the competition. The male model also realized that he had little chance of winning the championship.

The champion position made Mac Trung Kien receive many mixed opinions and be criticized. For those who have watched the program, they feel unsatisfied with this result. Coach Thanh Hang said she chose Trung Kien because she realized that this contestant has potential but has not been fully exploited.

In the final night, in the on-site video contest, she defended her students, responding to criticism directed at him: "Everybody here thinks I'm incompetent and very lackluster. So please shows two nuances: Mac Trung Kien goes down and comes back into someone more special."

On the contest's fanpage, some comments expressed frustration and surprise with the results. Many people believe that Mac Trung Kien won thanks to Thanh Hang as a coach. "Fixed results, bought prizes, won't convince ..." is what Mac Trung Kien must receive after winning the championship.

Talking about the question of "buying the prize", Mac Trung Kien said: "From the very beginning, the BTC representative firmly stated that whoever proposed to buy the prize would definitely be eliminated from the casting round, so the purchase could not happen.Read More Also, I'm still a university student, how can I have money to buy such a big prize.The audience can see that throughout the broadcast, each team has its own strategy. The topic has been assigned before, and the law does not prohibit others from helping."

I am the only male contestant in the final round, so it is very difficult to "show off" like the two female contestants. Therefore, Ms. Thanh Hang skillfully staged this contest with the help of Mr. To Lam, helping him to have more acting ground to shine. I think this is just the tactics of each team without any favor.

Besides, Mac Trung Kien also frankly responded when he was rumored to be gay, he said: "The audience always thinks that models always have to be rich or male models must be gay. About this I affirm. I'm 100% male. However, regardless of gender, I think people should respect and not discriminate against them."

In the midst of scrutiny, Mac Trung Kien once caused controversy when his 3rd sexist statements on social networks, however, he explained: "I understand people's feelings when I speak out. words like that, it's really just a joke between me and a very close friend. I myself have never discriminated against people of this gender."

After winning the championship, in 2019, Mac Trung Kien officially entered the career development path. He appeared in the MV Bright eyes not yet by male singer Truc Nhan with actor Thuy Ngan. However, because of that, the guy was once again suspected of his true gender when performing some scenes with Truc Nhan.

The male model also appeared in the MV "My New Year" with Hoa Minzy. Initially asserted his position with many different roles. In addition, he also participated in Aquafina Vietnam International Fashion Week, Seoul Fashion Week. And sat as the coach of The Face Online by Vespa contest with Cao Thien Trang.

By 2021, the guy was surprised to be the coach of The Face Online. The appearance of Mac Trung Kien caused people to question his professional skills, he was then commented on as a "supplier" when he was quite faint as a coach. Mac Trung Kien is almost "invisible" throughout episode 1, almost entirely as a consultant to recruit candidates to the team to help him. In addition to the catchphrases to call, almost the audience did not see the male Champion say anything highly professional enough to convince the contestants.

Possessing a handsome face, but Mac Trung Kien is still a victim of contempt for his appearance on social networks. Mac Trung Kien shared that he was a person who easily gained weight, often had problems with his weight index. He said he used to be obsessed and even stressed about negative comments about his body on social networks. However, it is these things that have motivated Mac Trung Kien to try to lose weight and regain the standard body of a model.

"I used to be scared when I read a series of comments and judgments about my body, and even had a period when I was obsessed with the phrase 'howling fish fat'. Even the manager tried to force me to do it. My new weight loss came in. I was really stressed during that time, but I tried to lift my spirits and tried to exercise.

As everyone commented, if you are a model but your body is not standard, how can you pursue this job? Not to mention being a versatile artist, appearance is even more important. I think I have to train like crazy. I need to lose more weight," Mac Trung Kien confided.

There was even a day when I did so many sit-ups that I had to take medicine when I had acid reflux, but I still tried to prove my determination," Mac Trung Kien shared his one-month weight loss process. .

Thanks to his efforts, Mac Trung Kien has now escaped the nickname "howling fat" thanks to his toned appearance. However, even though Thanh Hang once believed that he would make a big deal in showbiz, Mac Trung Kien in the following years The Face has become quite blurred, his name is no longer mentioned as much as before. .
