Despite public places to carry out offensive advertising acts, the Department of Culture and Information said that it is requiring strict handling of this group of subjects.

After 7 years, Cat Linh - Ha Dong train station officially came into operation. In addition to the meaning of traffic innovation, this is also a place to attract young people to take pictures, check in, and live in a beautiful and sparkling virtual life that is not inferior to foreign films.

Some singers and crews also turned the train compartment into a movie studio where the MV was filmed with many bulky props, causing inconvenience to passengers traveling with them. On many forums and social networks, many people expressed their opinion that there should be regulations on taking advertising photos, recording clips, and MVs on trains, especially regulations on specific time frames so as not to affect the traffic. common space when passengers move on board.

Specifically, on the morning of December 11, social networks quickly spread pictures of a group of young men wearing topless, creating a 6-pack version of Santa Claus.

After getting on the train, due to off-peak hours, they suddenly took off their shirts and stood in line to take pictures.
