Phuong Le was officially "locked up" after changing the lyrics of the National Anthem, will be handled according to the law

Miss Phuong Le has been officially invited by the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City to work to handle the incident of singing the National Anthem with a joking attitude, laughing and joking without being serious, and especially "editing" the lyrics on livestream, making the online community angry.

In mid-August, Phuong Le was criticized because viewers thought she had behaved inappropriately. On livestream, she made fun of the National Anthem, causing outrage. At a regular meeting at the Ho Chi Minh City Press Center on the afternoon of August 22, a representative of the Department of Information and Communications said they were coordinating with relevant authorities to work with Ms. Le Thi Hau Phuong (aka Miss Phuong Le). "We will take measures in accordance with legal regulations for cases related to Ms. Le Thi Hau Phuong," the representative of the Department said.

According to the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City, the use of the National Anthem has been guided in writing by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The National Anthem is used in flag-raising ceremonies at state offices, schools, political ceremonies of the country, organizations, national festivals, and state and international sporting events. Using the National Anthem in violation of the instructions may result in criminal prosecution. Article 351 of the 2015 Penal Code stipulates the crime of insulting the National Flag, National Emblem, and National Anthem: "Anyone who intentionally insults the National Flag, National Emblem, or National Anthem shall be subject to a warning, non-custodial reform for up to three years, or imprisonment from 6 months to 3 years." This act has no specific penalty provisions in the field of administrative violations.

On August 16, Phuong Le apologized and said she did not intend to change the lyrics or insult the national anthem. She said she changed the lyrics in a situation where she was criticized by anti-fans. "I apologize to everyone for causing this discomfort and will learn from my experience to not use words that cause misunderstandings in the future," she said. The beauty queen said she is willing to cooperate with authorities to clarify the issue.

Phuong Le was born in 1979, from Tra Vinh, and won the Mrs. World Peace pageant. Before the National Anthem parody incident, Phuong Le caused a stir when Vu Luan proposed to her, and the two later held an engagement party. This was also the time when Vu Luan was involved in a scandal involving Hong Loan.

Even, according to a recent livestream, Phuong Le revealed that Vu Luan has been criticized a lot recently. This person also responded to the rumor that Vu Luan paid off his debt. "It's all fabrications, made up stories without any evidence about us. For example, saying that I paid off Vu Luan's debt. If I paid off Vu Luan's debt even by 1,000 VND, I would immediately encounter misfortune. This story was brought up to make Vu Luan look bad," Phuong Le said.

Previously, Phuong Le had made controversial statements in the online community. For example, in December 2022, when a boy in Dong Thap fell into a concrete pillar, Phuong Le said on her personal page: "Hearing this makes my heart ache. Praying that my child is still alive, I will sponsor him to finish college and repair the house to make it warm for him if his parents agree. Let's pray together, everyone." Phuong Le's move caused a stir. The audience thought that if Phuong Le really wanted to help, she could have contacted the family directly, instead of posting on social media.

The reason why the online community "doubts" Phuong Le's sincerity is that in addition to the above incident, this person has spoken out in many other scandals, whether they are related to her or not. This person once condemned the late artist Phi Nhung in the incident with Ho Van Cuong, criticized Hoai Linh, Ly Nha Ky or the divorce scandal of Quynh Nhu and Hoang Anh.

Also because of her comments on the incident of Quynh Nhu and Hoang Anh, Phuong Le and Miss Thu Hoai later had a "war of words" on social media. Phuong Le was also the one who contributed to the controversy with Miss Dang Thu Thao. This person once mentioned Dang Thu Thao with bad words, such as accusing her of lying and being slippery, and also mentioned the incident between Dang Thu Thao's sister and Miss Thuy Tien that caused a stir many years ago.
