Authorities introduced a code of conduct for individuals in the arts in 2021. It stipulates that celebrities should respect and incorporate public feedback to improve themselves and enhance the quality of their artistic work.
Artists must behave sincerely, cultivate a positive public image, and avoid exploiting audience trust and affection for personal gain. Additionally, the cyber security law clearly outlines penalties for actions that insult the honor, reputation, and dignity of others.
On 10/1, singer Le Quyen posted a travel video. Under the post, one account commented: "Her flop era lowkey serving". The singer responded with harsh words. Many considered Le Quyen's reaction "excessive, lacking self-control". The exchange between Le Quyen and the account sparked a debate about artist conduct in public.

Le Quyen later explained her strong reaction stemmed from persistent fabrication of information by the aforementioned account and other anonymous accounts. This significantly impacted her work and personal life. The singer stated that constantly facing negative comments made her feel the need to defend herself.
Le Quyen hopes that acts of online aggression and harassment will be sanctioned and penalized. "I apologize to my fans because the incident involving me has somewhat affected them and caused them concern", she stated.
