I witnessed the immense love that fans had for him... The room where he lived became increasingly cramped because every corner was filled with stacks of fan letters.

Regarding his parents' divorce, Thanh Tung completely understood and had no words of blame. He believed that if they were unhappy, separation was the best option for both to have happier lives. In particular, when artist Thuong Tin was embroiled in controversy regarding the "truthfulness" of his memoir, Bui Thanh Tung affirmed that he always trusted and supported his father, even if public opinion turned against him.
