Faced with pressure from the online community and Khoa Pug's fans, Johnny Đặng also exhibits some initial 'evasive' moves.
The ongoing controversy between Khoa Pug and Johnny Đặng seems to have no conclusion. After the 'play break' turmoil, where Khoa Pug erased all images related to the diamond tycoon, the online community appears to sense something uneasy in their relationship, despite their previously close bond. Over the past few days, both Khoa Pug and Johnny Đặng have engaged in a verbal 'duel' with sharp words. While Johnny accuses Khoa Pug of intentionally befriending him for personal gain, the YouTuber claims to be a victim, with Johnny Đặng allegedly seizing over 30 billion and even threatening his life if he exposes the story.
This ongoing drama raises concerns for Khoa Pug's well-being. However, before this, the YouTuber found solace by consistently achieving new milestones in his career. Specifically, through the drama, the keyword 'Khoa Pug' peaked on Google Trending yesterday, and his plea vlog reached the top trending spot on YouTube. Moreover, the number of followers on Khoa Pug's YouTube channel surged dramatically. In just one night, he gained an additional 150,000 followers – a significant figure for any YouTuber (according to Social Blade statistics).
This suggests the extent of online community interest in the drama. While Khoa Pug receives attention, Johnny Đặng seems to face more negative evaluations in the matter. Consequently, the fanpage of his store is bombarded with 1-star ratings from netizens. Johnny Đặng himself has taken some initial 'defensive' actions.
In response, the diamond tycoon has now enabled the comment restriction feature on both his personal fan page and the jewelry store's fan page. Although this move may seem small, netizens have noticed and believe it to be a 'defensive' strategy against the significant current public pressure on Johnny Đặng.
