Right now, if you had to pick one topic grabbing the most attention online, it’s definitely the recent drama between Khoa Pug and Johnny Đặng. Even though the story isn’t over yet, we can already see who’s winning and who’s losing in this showdown.
Khoa Pug
You could say Khoa Pug is the biggest winner here. After a quiet period where he wasn’t really talked about much, this drama has put him back in the spotlight like never before. At the peak of the drama, his name topped Google search trends, and his YouTube channel gained hundreds of thousands of new followers in just a few days. Plus, his vlog even hit number one on YouTube’s trending charts. So it’s fair to say Khoa Pug gained a lot from all this.
But more importantly, Khoa Pug earned a lot of goodwill from the online community. After the drama broke out, many people sided with him, and the support was clear. Fans created countless groups to back Khoa Pug and even organized mass 1-star ratings against Johnny Đặng’s store. All this shows Khoa Pug is winning hearts online. However, his comeback fame also brought scrutiny, with some accusing him of exaggerating and treating money carelessly, like the recent claim he bragged about buying a 115 billion VND private jet.
Johnny Đặng
Johnny Đặng hasn’t won over the online crowd like Khoa Pug, but he did manage to boost his own name recognition, no matter how controversial. Thanks to the drama, the jewelry tycoon’s DBZ coin, which was pretty unknown before, is now much more talked about. Even though Khoa Pug deleted all traces of Johnny Đặng from his YouTube and social media, the feud still made Johnny Đặng a household name online.
However, this came with a price. Johnny Đặng faced a wave of negative reactions, forcing him to disable comments on both his personal fanpage and his store’s page. On top of that, his DBZ coin has taken a massive hit, plummeting about 90% from its peak at the end of September.
The Biggest Losers
Both Johnny Đặng and Khoa Pug have gained and lost from this drama. But the real losers are the people who invested in Johnny Đặng’s DBZ coin. As mentioned, since the feud started, the coin’s value has crashed hard, and no investor wants to see that happen.
