Son Tung calls his parents Capybara: Netizens are outraged, what's going on?

Recently, Son Tung M-TP became the center of controversy when he called his parents "Capybara" at the Viettel Y fest event. This caused a stir in the online community with conflicting opinions.

On the evening of November 24, the Viettel Y-FEST 2024 Super Music Festival officially took place at August Revolution Square - Hoan Kiem Lake Walking Street with the participation of many music stars such as Son Tung M-TP, ISSAC, SOOBIN, Hoa Minzy, HIEUTHUHAI, Orange, Duong Domic, DJ KS, MC Quang Bao...

More than 60,000 spectators attending the series of events in the area around the walking street compared Y-Fest to "the super concert of concerts", bringing an unprecedentedly enthusiastic atmosphere.

However, on social networks, Son Tung M-TP continued to become the center of debate when he interacted with the audience, Son Tung called himself "Capyboy" and called his parents "Capybara".

This caused a stir in the online community, as some people expressed their delight and thought that this was a way to show affection, while others criticized it and thought that this was an abuse of online trends, or even disrespectful.

In internet culture, the "Capybara" - a large South American guinea pig known for its gentle and approachable personality - has become a symbol of cuteness and friendliness. Photos and videos of Capybara are often widely shared, fueling the trend among young people.

Therefore, many people think that Son Tung is just using this word to show his love and closeness to his parents, similar to the way young people call each other "boss" or "best friend".

However, calling his parents "Capybara" has caused many people to disagree. Some opinions say that Son Tung's use of this animal's name to call his parents is disrespectful. In Vietnamese culture, respect for parents is an extremely important value, and this action can be seen as too "crazy" and unserious in a family relationship.

Although many of Son Tung's fans found this action amusing and cute, many others thought it was just a ploy to abuse social media trends to attract attention. While Son Tung's fans thought he was creatively expressing his closeness to his family, many others thought he was trying to "catch the trend" to attract public attention.

There are also many criticisms that Vietnamese stars in general, and Son Tung in particular, are abusing the creation of shocking "trends" to maintain their popularity.

These moves, from using "Capybara" to other "strange" statements or actions, sometimes make fans feel tired, when it seems like the artist is following trends instead of maintaining their true image.

The reaction from Son Tung’s fans and anti-fans further complicated the issue. Some of Son Tung’s fans expressed their support for this action, saying that this was the singer’s way of expressing his special affection for his parents, and at the same time, it was his own style in creating a close and comfortable family relationship.

They believe that in modern society, expressing feelings does not have to be too serious, but can be natural and "cool" like that.

However, anti-fans have been constantly criticizing, claiming that Son Tung is overdoing things to attract attention. They believe that calling his parents "Capybara" is not only unkind, but also disrespectful to his parents, and also makes the public skeptical about the true relationship between Son Tung and his family.

Son Tung calling his parents "Capybara" may be a spontaneous act of his, or it may be a unique way of expressing affection, different from tradition. However, is it really suitable for Vietnamese cultural values and family traditions?

Perhaps, this is a question that the public still cannot have a clear answer. The controversy surrounding this issue will certainly continue and will be discussed a lot on social networking forums in the near future.

Regardless, one thing is for sure, Son Tung continues to be one of the most influential artists and always makes fans pay attention, no matter what.
