“Online celebrity” banned from nationwide performance VietNamNet Bridge - On Wednesday the Performing Arts Agency asked the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of 63 provinces and cities to not grant performing licenses to an “online star” known as “Ba Tung” (whose real name is Le Thi Huyen Anh), even at bars. Illegal advertising poster of a show by “Ba Tung” at a bar in Hanoi. “Ba Tung” recently “rose” as a “celebrity” in the online community after posting video clips in which she did not wear bra, and kept a condom in her mouth or “taught” others about sexual lessons. She has become a “phenomenon” on the Internet and even on the local media, even though with bad comments. However, it is said that behind this girl is a support crew to help her "realize" the dream of joining the V-biz because after launching sexy clips, “Ba Tung” was advertised as a “singer” at a bar in Hanoi. However, this show was banned. Besides posting new clips on social networks, “Ba Tung” participated in some events, although she was not an invited guest, and “performed” at several bars in Saigon. With the rapid popularity, Vietnamese showbiz was almost shocked when “Ba Tung” appeared. More remarkable, all offensive performances of this girl were aimed at one goal: stepping into the showbiz.   "Ba Tung" shows off her breast in a photo. Recently, musician Dao Trong Thinh has officially admitted that he was training “Ba Tung” as a singer. The case of this girl is a very strong slap on the true artists when all criteria to become famous were broken. From an “online celebrity,” she entered the real life by appearing as an uninvited guest at the premier of singer Lam Truong’s new album and performed at some bars. She is about to become the representative for several online games. This is a very good start for an unknown girl. And of course, the plan to promote the name “Ba Tung” has had great success. But that is a success of poor culture. Mentioning the name “Ba Tung” is referring to ludicrousness, grotesque, cheapness, rather than a talent for everyone to admire. T. Van
