Musician Do Hieu said 8 songs:Forever Together, Wipe Away Your Tears, Hold Me Tonight, Don't Look Back, Coming Together Is Wrong, Cause I Love You, Please Don't Let GoandAs the first minutereleased in the period 2014 - 2018. Singer Noo Phuoc Thinh signed an exclusive contract to exploit and use for 2 years.

After the above deadline, Noo Phuoc Thinh's side did not extend the old contract or renegotiate or agree on copyright fees.

For many years, according to Do Hieu, Noo Phuoc Thinh only contacted for permission to perform for big shows, ignoring many small shows at venues such as bars, clubs, lounges...

In addition, the singer also sold these works on a number of online platforms that were not part of the original agreement without notifying the author.

Initially, musician Do Hieu proactively contacted singer Noo Phuoc Thinh and his manager, but received silence in return, making him feel disrespected. When the incident broke out, both sides negotiated but could not find common ground.

"I always hope for peace, but both sides must respect each other, not one side seeing itself as "superior" and not responding clearly. I am grateful to artists who successfully perform their works, but that does not mean anyone can do business or get rich from those brainchildren while their 'creators' are not guaranteed or receive anything in return," he said.

Therefore, Do Hieu decided to ban singer Noo Phuoc Thinh from exploiting and using these 8 songs from November 1, 2023. Any act of exploitation and use without the author's permission will be considered a violation of copyright.

Do Hieu added that since the contracts with singer Noo Phuoc Thinh expired, many singers and companies have contacted to buy exploitation and usage rights, even exclusive rights.

"I consider everything carefully to be sincere and meaningful, but I do not lose out, become a reminder, or beg to get what is inherently mine. I give myself time to think and do not wait for anyone," the musician informed.

Contacting singer Noo Phuoc Thinh, the manager said: "Because of the unexpected incident, we are not ready to answer anything, we are preparing to make an official statement as soon as possible."
