Building a personal image has been considered as a good way to promote Vietnamese artists but as more local singers have been caught copying styles from international celebrities, the situation is really alarming.
After causing scandals with her first novel “Chain” about the sex life of a newly-wedded couple, singer and actress Le Kieu Nhu has recently been criticized for her album titled “Lac Tien” (Paradise), which is eerily the same as a poster from a well-known Chinese model’s online game.
Nhu admitted that the album, shot by photographer Coban, is her very idea and told the media the resemblance is only accidental.

Meanwhile, more and more local teen stars have rushed to copycat foreign celebrities’ styles and posture in posing for promotion photos.
Singers Truong Quynh Anh and Baggio copied Korean movie stars Bi Rain and Song Hye Kyo in their poster from the famous Korean TV series “Full House”.
Other singers Cong Khanh, Nam Cuong, Tim, Uyen Thao and Wanbi tried to look exactly the same like the five characters from Korean TV series “Boys over Flower”.
Too unnerving, too accidental!
A photo featuring teen stars Dong Nhi and Khong Tu Quynh is thought to copy the idea from a Disney Channel’s movie Princess Protection Program.
Dong Nhi is the splitting image of Selena Gomez. Wow.
