Meet Lê Bồng: One of the Most Controversial TikTokers in Vietnam
Lê Bồng is one of the most polarizing TikTokers in Vietnam, garnering a significant following while also attracting a considerable number of antifan. In the past, she has often been the center of discussions and criticism, primarily due to her habit of appearing lazy in her TikTok clips. Many comments suggest that her behavior is too provocative.
In response to these criticisms, she mentioned, “Everyone will view this issue from different perspectives. Are you sure that being lazy is just a part of the big picture? Have you ever considered that being lazy might be a way to express oneself?”
Moreover, in light of the overwhelmingly negative comments, Lê Bồng frequently addresses this pressure with humor, stating, “Then one day, Bồng will sneak into the dreams of those who criticize her. And if in that dream, Bồng is being lazy… what will happen to you?” It seems that Lê Bồng does not consider this a harmful action.
Currently, Lê Bồng has revamped her image, opting for a more mature and sophisticated style. When discussing her criticisms related to the portrayal of “lazy TikTokers,” Lê Bồng indicated that she doesn’t perceive it as a harmful stereotype, but rather as an alluring aspect of her persona.
Expanding Her Horizons
Recently, Lê Bồng has been seen branching out into new fields, including hosting and acting. The female TikToker is seizing opportunities to showcase her versatility.
After playing the role of Duyền in “Love at First Sight” — a character that brought her considerable acclaim as a favorite among the audience at the 2024 Golden Kite Awards held in Khánh Hòa — she also portrayed the teacher Diệu Tâm in “No Time.” This role marked her second significant performance as an actress.
Despite her rising fame, Lê Bồng is still navigating the challenges of public perception. On social media, viewers have been vocal in their opinions:
“I don’t know why Lê Bồng is often labeled as lazy; many amateur actors perform well, but Lê Bồng’s acting doesn’t stand out. Sometimes her hair looks messy, and her facial expressions lack depth. If she appears in a project, I’d rather not watch it anymore.”;
“I like Lê Bồng, but it’s clear that her acting isn’t quite there. Everyone must put in effort.”;
“I think she doesn’t match the role, and the character she plays seems dull compared to the teacher Tâm in this film.”;
“Honestly, I want to feel some chemistry with her. Every time I see her on screen, it feels like she’s just going through the motions…”
Before this, her public image had not been particularly positive, which led Lê Bồng to feel quite disappointed. Despite being fortunate enough to host a Tet program, and completing the filming, she faced challenges when it came to the broadcast.
The current scrutiny has prompted this TikToker to reflect deeply on herself. As for the present time, she continues to encounter difficulties with the negative portrayals that are hard to erase.
