Nguyen Quoc Vu: Supercar giant comes to the defendant in a shocking counterfeit cosmetics case

Once known as a wealthy businessman, singer Doan Di Bang's husband – Mr. Nguyen Quoc Vu – is currently detained to investigate the act of manufacturing and trading counterfeit goods. His biography is a journey from the image of the "national husband" to the center of controversy.

Who is "Doan Di Bang's husband"?

Nguyen Quoc Vu was born in 1978, hometown in Ho Chi Minh City. HCM. Before becoming famous on social networks, he used to work in the field of multi-level business coaching, being one of the familiar faces of Lo Hoi Company – a unit that once caused controversy because of its operating model.

After withdrawing from this field, Mr. Vu switched to trading cosmetics and functional foods. In 2021, he established VB Group Trading Services Co., Ltd., specializing in distributing skin, hair and personal hygiene products under the Hanayuki brand. VB Group has a charter capital of VND 8 billion, headquartered in District 5, Ho Chi Minh City. HCM.

In addition to VB Group, Mr. Vu used to be the legal representative of CT VB Universal and Private Enterprise World Steak – both of which are now defunct.

From gold-plated villas to supercars in the yard: The image of the social network giant

Nguyen Quoc Vu began to attract public attention when he appeared with his wife – singer Doan Di Bang – in videos showing off his gold-plated villa, supercars parked in the yard, wardrobes containing branded goods and billion-dollar gifts. The couple once caused a "cyberstorm" when they shared a plan to build a villa worth 400 billion VND, reserving the basement to accommodate supercars.

Not only stopping at the rich image, Mr. Vu also organized a birthday party for his wife worth 300 million VND, donated jewelry worth tens of billions of VND and carried out charity activities. However, many people think that these activities are more about "polishing the name" than community goodwill.

Mr. Vu's luxurious image has many times encountered the question of "canvas". Netizens questioned the transparency in the value of assets, claiming that the published numbers were exaggerated. In particular, he once caused controversy when he posted a video of using Hanayuki sanitary napkins to wipe his mouth after drinking wine, in order to prove his absorbency – an action that was considered unprofessional and unprofessional.

Hanayuki Cosmetics: From a hot brand to the focus of investigation

VB Group – CT operated by Mr. Vu – is the main distributor of Hanayuki branded products. In the period of 2022–2024, Hanayuki was heavily promoted through livestreams, with attractive introductions such as "helps restore hair, prevent scalp fungus, reduce dandruff".

However, from the beginning of 2024, Hanayuki's products have been continuously "whistled" by the authorities. In May 2024, Hanayuki Shampoo 300g was suspended from circulation and forced to be destroyed because it did not meet safety standards. The product contains substances that are not included in the declaration and violate microbial indicators.

By November 2025, Hanayuki Sunscreen Body sunscreen continues to be found to have an actual SPF of only 25.82 – less than half of the SPF 50 level stated on the packaging. A total of 1,652 substandard products have been manufactured and sold to the market.

Arrested and detained: The end of the chain of wrongdoing

On November 5, 2025, Nguyen Quoc Vu was arrested and detained to investigate the act of manufacturing and trading counterfeit goods. The investigation agency determined that Mr. Vu was not only the legal representative but also directly participated in the consumption of substandard cosmetic shipments.

Two other people involved in the manufacturing process were also arrested, including Mr. Dinh Van Lien and Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyen – both belonging to EBC Dong Nai Medical Factory Joint Stock Company, which manufactures Hanayuki products.

The news of Mr. Vu's arrest quickly spread on social networks, becoming a hot topic of discussion. Many people expressed surprise, because before that he always appeared with the image of a successful businessman, the "national" husband of singer Doan Di Bang.

Once broadcast on VTV warning of counterfeit goods: The statement was "dug up"

The irony is that in early 2023, Nguyen Quoc Vu appeared in the program "Businesses & Entrepreneurs" broadcast on VTV1. In the report, he warned about the problem of counterfeit and counterfeit goods causing damage to businesses and consumers. He emphasized that customers buy the wrong goods of unknown origin and then return to claim compensation.

This statement was once seen as an attempt to build an image of a responsible businessman. But with the current developments, the online community is "digging up" the report to question the authenticity of Mr. Vu's words.

How is Doan Di Bang affected?

The incident not only affected Mr. Vu personally, but also had a strong impact on the image of singer Doan Di Bang – who was once considered a symbol of "female stars marrying giants". On social media, many people questioned her role in VB Group's business activities, although there is no evidence that she is directly involved.

From September 2025, Doan Di Bang will almost not appear in public. Livestreams, product promotions, and magazine photography activities were all canceled. Some brands that have cooperated with her have also quietly removed related images. Although there has been no official statement, the prolonged silence has made the public even more curious.

The online community reacted: From admiration to disappointment

On social networking platforms such as TikTok, Facebook and YouTube, a series of videos "exposing" Nguyen Quoc Vu were posted. Many people who used to follow Mr. Vu because of his lavish lifestyle and generous way of pampering his wife, now turn to express their disagreement because they think that he "colors" and "takes advantage of the media to sell unsafe goods".

Some KOLs in the beauty industry also spoke out, saying that the incident was a wake-up call for consumers when choosing products via livestream. They call for a stricter censorship mechanism for domestic cosmetic brands, especially those that are emerging thanks to social media.

What is the future for Nguyen Quoc Vu?

Currently, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Vu is still in custody for investigation. If convicted of manufacturing and trading counterfeit goods, he could face a severe sentence according to the law. This meant that his business career was almost over.

Mr. Vu's personal image – once elaborately constructed through a series of videos, posts and media campaigns – has now become a typical example of "virtual life" that cannot hide real wrongdoing. Although he was once admired for pampering his wife and lavish lifestyle, Mr. Vu is now a wake-up call for businesses and consumers.
