On October 6th, J97 Promotion, the management company of singer Trịnh Trần Phương Tuấn (Jack), announced the completion of administrative fines as mandated by the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City.
The official statement reads: “We have fully complied with the authorities’ decision regarding the event’s content. Specifically, a portion of the press conference deviated from the content previously approved by the state press management agency. We have cooperated, adhered to regulations, and finalized the payment of administrative fines as directed by the Department.”
Regarding Jack’s personal remarks during the event, the company clarified: these statements were in response to questions submitted in advance by media outlets via email registration.
According to J97 Promotion, the July press conference aimed to “once and for all clarify” misunderstandings about Jack’s personal life while introducing his new career direction. However, the event sparked controversy as the majority of the two-hour session focused on personal matters rather than his musical projects as initially announced.
Held in Ho Chi Minh City and live-streamed on J97 Promotion’s official YouTube channel, the press conference garnered hundreds of thousands of views and interactions. Notably, the event omitted the traditional Q&A session with the press, opting instead for a one-way presentation format.
Following the event, the Department of Culture and Sports of Ho Chi Minh City conducted a thorough review of the entire organizational process, from content to licensing procedures. The administrative penalty was issued to ensure transparency, discipline, and compliance with regulations governing press conferences and artistic product launches.
