In response to the audience’s affection, every day, the male comedian updates his health status on social networks. Tran Thanh said that during home isolation, his wife – Hari Won – took care of her husband and helped her husband recover quickly.

On the morning of March 22, Tran Thanh announced the good news on his personal page, showing off a 1-bar quick test that confirmed it was negative. However, on the evening of March 23, an account named MC suddenly posted a message to the group in Ca Mau with the content: “Shocked news on the afternoon of March 22: Hong Van, Viet Huong sadly announced Tran Thanh’s departure. forever at the age of 35 because of Covid-19”. After only 1 hour of posting, the article received a lot of attention and was shared at a dizzying speed. Besides, many people expressed confusion.
