The drama between Khoa Pug and Johnny Đặng doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. After the fallout started when Khoa Pug deleted all photos related to the jewelry tycoon, the online community sensed something was off in their relationship, even though they used to show a very close bond. Over the past few days, both Khoa Pug and Johnny Đặng have publicly accused each other with harsh words. Johnny Đặng claims Khoa Pug tried to get close to him for personal gain, while the YouTuber says he’s the victim, alleging Johnny Đặng took over 30 billion VND from him and even threatened his life if he exposed the story.
This ongoing drama has many worried about Khoa Pug’s situation. However, the YouTuber might find some comfort in hitting new career milestones amid the chaos. Specifically, the keyword “Khoa Pug” topped Google Trending yesterday, and his plea vlog reached number one on YouTube trending. Even more impressive, his YouTube channel gained a massive 150,000 new followers overnight, a huge number for any YouTuber (according to Social Blade).
This shows just how much attention the drama has drawn online. While Khoa Pug is benefiting from the spotlight, Johnny Đặng is facing more negative backlash. His store’s fanpage has been bombarded with one-star reviews from netizens. In response, Johnny Đặng has taken his first defensive step.
The jewelry tycoon has enabled comment restrictions on both his personal fanpage and his store’s fanpage. Though a small move, netizens quickly noticed and interpreted it as a defensive tactic against the growing public pressure Johnny Đặng is facing.
