Recently, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Investigation Agency prosecuted and temporarily detained singer Chi Dân and model Andrea on drug-related charges.
The news and accompanying photos quickly stirred up a buzz online, sparking lively discussions. From there, an “idol TikTok” started using Chi Dân’s arrest pose to create content.
Thinking it was clever, a TikToker with 2 million followers copied Chi Dân’s “left hand pointing at the moon” pose and posted it on social media.
This guy even deliberately wore similar clothes, picked the angle, and mimicked the expression to match the original as closely as possible, which angered the online community. His post immediately received tons of criticism. People were upset by the TikToker’s thoughtless stunt, calling it a desperate grab for views.
On top of that, many noticed that back in 2020, this same guy was also taken in by the police for drug-related offenses.
“What’s there to be proud of?”
“I’ve been through the same thing.”
“Does this guy even think before acting?”
This story goes beyond just online backlash and raises questions about TikTok idols’ choices when sharing content. What process do they follow to pick what to post? What’s the goal behind sharing such posts? Despite having millions of followers, some TikTokers are willing to jump on toxic trends without thinking, earning them labels like “internet trash.”
Currently, the TikToker has locked their account that posted the photo, and other platforms have disabled comments to “lay low.”
