Vietnam is dealing with what some sources are saying its biggest flury of recent memory, the scandal of a blurry video of an encounter between two teenagers.
19-year-old Hoang Thuy Linh, the star of the popular TV series Vang Anh’s Diaries, and her boyfriend appear in a cellphone sex tape. But this is unlike any scandal of sex tapes before it. “This is the most scandalous and controversial thing that has ever happened in Vietnam’s virtual world,” says journalist Hung Nguyen.After the so-called Vang Anh scandal broke, Vietnam Television (VTV) dropped the series. A five-minute clip, filmed by mobile phone, was originally posted on YouTube by an anonymous user. Then it got removed and reappeared as a 20-minute long version on the net.
Vang Anh’s Diaries is hugely popular series. Thuy Linh’s character, Vang Anh, had become a kind of idol among youngsters.
“All my friends and myself watch Vang Anh’s Diaries regularly,” says 13-year-old Thu Thuy. “I especially love Vang Anh. She’s smart, she’s pretty, she’s so so cool. I love her style.”
