In showbiz, volunteering for the community is considered a celebrity's responsibility to society.

However, there are many stars entangled in controversies, suspicions of stealing money from charity, taking advantage of the audience's trust. Last July, Han Hong and Ai Tam charity foundation were accused of lack of transparency in revenue and expenditure during flood relief in Ha Nam.

Question mark about transparency in charity funds

According to the Beijing Economic Times , in recent years, Chinese celebrities have rarely dared to set up their own charitable foundation. The reputation and harshness of the public make stars more cautious even in public activities.

Currently, most artists will send money or donations to charities controlled by the government, or a private organization with extensive experience and high credibility, such as the female singer's charity.

How the money is donated, how the materials are donated, are clearly disclosed by all private and government charities. This action helps people to monitor the transparency of the audit and disbursement.

However, the fact that the artist is in the name of a charity fund has many doubts. Both Han Hong or Ly Lien Kiet, Ly A Bang, and Jackie Chan are all suspected of embezzling donations to use for their own purposes.

Han Hong was twice investigated for the transparency of the bailout money. In 2020, the female singer was accused by blogger Sima Tam Ky of more than half of her donation of 38.5 million USD to the Wuhan Covid-19 epidemic center.

And the latest is the difference of up to 10.8 million USD in contributions to Ha Nam flood area. The audience discovered abnormal data in Ai Tam's declaration of each expenditure and the list of donations including cash and supplies of the sponsor.

According to Xinhua News Agency , the female singer made no mistake in using the fund, but accidentally got into a money controversy because the audit stage was delayed, leading to slow declaration and publication of data.

On the People's Daily , Han Hong also admitted that her Ai Tam fund was late in performing the audit, and said she would try to improve this work so that the audience's trust would not be damaged.

"When floods and pandemics occur, we prioritize calling for donations and helping people. The fund's employees are mobilized to collect statistics and distribute money. Human resources are superior to people's hearts. people, so we couldn't make all the documents public," said Han Hong.

She admitted the mistake: "We take care of people, but we forget millions of other hearts. Sincerely apologize to the sponsors who trusted me and the Ai Tam fund. Everyone can rest assured, the charity money of the donors. you don't lose or get intercepted".

The audience's harsh reaction to Han Hong comes from the scandal related to the charity fund of Chinese artists in the past. In 2016, Jet Li was accused of embezzling $ 54 million in donations for relief and reconstruction of people's lives after the earthquake disaster in Sichuan.

Before the accusation, the martial arts star gave an explanation. The actor confirmed that he did not steal charity money, admitting he was tired of the market. However, the actor Huo Nguyen Giap only clarified verbally, not agreeing to the statement of disbursement documents.

A similar incident happened with Ly A Bang or Jackie Chan. Ly A Bang was investigated for using money from Yen Nhien Fund for cleft palates into the real estate market, while Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation of Jackie Chan was confused about spending.

When the value of charity is distorted

Last July, rapper Hai Tu Vuong (DrakSun) was asked to leave showbiz by the public. He was found to have overstated the amount of money he contributed to people in the flood-prone Ha Nam area.

After raising money for the Red Cross, the male singer took a photo to confirm the transfer of $ 2,700 in relief money.

Not only that, in the group chat with fans, Comedy Vuong also caused frustration when he regretfully said that he should have edited his photo to donate 27,000 USD to outperform other colleagues - who contributed 15,000 USD.

Hai Tu Vuong's deceitful declaration made public outrage. They criticized the 23-year-old singer for lying about charity to polish his name, and called for a boycott of him.

Facing a wave of criticism, the Child King apologized, expressed his remorse by making an additional donation of 2,700 USD as announced. However, the audience still did not forgive his wrongdoing. The Rap of China 2021 announced the exclusion of the Child King from the show.

Over the years, Duong Mich has always been taken as an example of artists cheating in charity work. Duong Mich's charity fraud scandal stemmed from her promise in October 2015. When participating in the promotion of the film I am a witness in Chengdu, she promised to donate to the special education school there 100 sticks and 50 typewriters for blind children.

But Duong Mich was not done. After that, the representative named Ly Manh denounced the actress. Duong Mich's side confirmed to have transferred money to charity, blaming Ly Manh for blocking in the middle. However, the actress did not give convincing evidence.

The incident seriously affected Duong Mich's image. She was severely criticized. A series of government newspapers criticized the fake female star, criticizing the professional ethics of the actress born in 1986.

Discussing the philanthropic form of artists in Chinese showbiz, Professor Liu Min Dung - Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences - said that whether volunteering in any position, personally or on behalf of an organization Celebrities must be aware of their social responsibility, in which transparent declaration is a prerequisite.

"Many stars think that asking to publicly collect and spend charity money is an act of not trusting people with good hearts and competent organizations. However, if the charity money disappears halfway or mutilated, which means that the hearts of the audience are trampled, and the noble values of charity work are taken advantage of," Luu Man Dung stated.

Therefore, Liu Minrong believes that the public is allowed to comment on how their donations are used, as well as participate in the process of monitoring the flow of relief money to avoid negative problems.

According to her, regardless of donations, artists who have a reputation for charity but make empty promises, make false statements, do not give money from their own pocket or receive money from the community but do not fulfill their commitment to relief are all acts of fraud. believe, deserve condemnation.

"I think there's no longer the second Duong Mich, but there's still the Baby Tu Vuong. The individual is not honest when declaring his contributions, how many charity funds are there honest names of the artists? Charity activities if not Transparency will become a breeding ground for unethical and illegal behavior. If you don't want to be judged and suspected, the stars must be clear in money matters, "said Luu Min Dung.
