Thanh Van Hugo apologizes for milk advertising scandal: I'm not avoiding it

In a post on her personal page, Thanh Van Hugo said she accepted to advertise for Hiup milk products with full legal documents provided by the brand. Because she believed in the documents, the testing process as well as the actual experience when her child used it, the 8X beauty agreed. "However, today, after the authorities confirmed that the product showed signs of not meeting standards from the batch produced in August 2024, I cannot remain silent," the female MC said.

Thanh Van Hugo said that she had previously been administratively punished for advertising Hiup milk in a way that confused its uses. After the incident, the beauty said that she proactively asked the brand to stop using her image, and at the same time requested that the authorities be invited to conduct a transparent inspection. “Most recently, on May 27, 2025, I still received a test certificate showing that the product was tested and met the standards. But now I understand, I was deceived,” she wrote on her personal page.

According to the female MC, the incident is not only a loss of honor, but also a feeling of being taken advantage of. Thanh Van Hugo said she is working with a lawyer to demand that the brand take responsibility. "I will pursue this to the end, not only to protect myself, but so that no one else becomes a victim like me," the 8X beauty expressed.

Also in the article, Thanh Van Hugo “apologized to those who believed in my introduction”. She affirmed: “I do not hide. I take responsibility. And I choose to be transparent”. According to the record, the female MC has currently limited comments on the Facebook platform.

In April 2025, when the Hiup milk advertisement scandal broke out, Thanh Van Hugo posted a long post on her personal page about the incident. She apologized for personalizing her child's personal experience and advertising it to everyone, while the product will not have the same effect on all children, but the effectiveness depends on each person's constitution. "I would like to thank those who gave their comments, and most of all, I would like to sincerely apologize to my audience, those who have always followed, loved and believed in me for more than 20 years of my artistic career," the beauty shared.

In May 2025, the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information issued a decision to fine Thanh Van Hugo. Due to violating the advertisement of nutritional products causing confusion about the announced uses, the female MC was fined 70 million VND. In addition, she was required to take remedial measures such as deleting the advertisement and forcing her to correct the information regarding the violation.

In addition to Thanh Van Hugo, editor Quang Minh was also involved in the Hiup milk advertisement scandal. On his personal page, he said he was working with a lawyer to sue the brand for "deceiving me in this case".

The Ministry of Public Security said that the Office of the Investigation Police Agency (C01) has issued a decision to prosecute a case of violating accounting regulations causing serious consequences and producing and trading counterfeit food products, which occurred at Z Holding Joint Stock Company (Z Holding Company). At the same time, C01 issued a decision to prosecute and temporarily detain 10 defendants on charges of producing and trading counterfeit HIUP 27 milk products and violating accounting regulations causing serious consequences.
