Hong Loan shared: “I’m setting aside a portion of the 89 million VND, and I will gradually use it to donate to those in need, accumulating good deeds for my father. I’ve been planning to do this for a long time, and now I will send support to people facing difficulties everywhere.”

Hong Loan, Vu Linh’s daughter, engages in charitable activities.
All the expenses for her charitable activities are funded by her legal winnings.
In 2024, Hong Loan filed a lawsuit against the media company B.H.M. regarding the management and protection of Meritorious Artist Vu Linh’s image on the Internet.
According to the lawsuit, the farewell program for Vu Linh, which was live-streamed on B.H.M.’s media channel, was held on the last night of the artist’s funeral (March 2023). Per the contract signed with Hong Phuong (Vu Linh’s granddaughter and Hong Nhung’s daughter), B.H.M. was the only unit allowed to film, take pictures, etc., during the artist’s funeral. However, Hong Loan stated that the contract signed between the two parties did not have her consent – as the only legal daughter of Vu Linh. She requested that B.H.M. remove all related images from the funeral and refund the money earned from those images.
In March 2025, the court ruled in favor of Hong Loan. B.H.M. and Hong Phuong were ordered to refund the money earned to Hong Loan.
Hong Loan and Hong Phuong’s conflict arose regarding the dissemination of images from Meritorious Artist Vu Linh’s funeral.
Additionally, Vu Linh’s daughter is in a dispute with her aunt, artist Hong Nhung, over the inheritance of her father’s property. Consequently, the legal battle between the two sides has been ongoing since 2023. After Vu Linh’s passing, Hong Nhung filed a lawsuit against her niece to claim co-ownership of her brother’s house.
In January 2025, at the first-instance trial, Hong Nhung lost the case. Nonetheless, the People’s Court decided to allocate 15% of the estate’s value to her, considering her contribution to the family’s care. The remaining 85% of the estate’s value was assigned to Hong Loan.
Immediately after the conclusion of the first-instance trial, the daughter of the “King of cải lương” filed an appeal against a portion of the verdict, disagreeing with her aunt receiving a share of the inheritance.
According to the court’s decision, Hong Loan – Vu Linh’s daughter (left) receives 85%, and Hong Nhung – Vu Linh’s sister (right) gets 15% of the total estate value.
In recent days, Hong Loan has been busy preparing for the next steps after filing the appeal. She refers to this as a “battle” and seeks encouragement from those around her.
Hong Loan shared: “There’s one more battle to go, so please continue supporting my family and me.”
Hong Loan prepares for the upcoming “battle” over her father’s inheritance.
Previously, the daughter of the “King of cải lương” had adamantly stated that she would not allow her aunt to receive a share of her father’s estate. Hong Loan expressed her frustration, saying: “As you all have seen, I’m not the one who initiated the lawsuit, nor am I the one demanding a share. The land and car are still in my father’s name, and although the other party is entitled to 15%, we refuse. I’d rather use that money for charity and accumulate good deeds for my father than give it to people without a conscience. I will not share my inheritance with them.”
The daughter of the “King of cải lương” is determined to prevent her aunt from receiving a portion of the inheritance.

Similarly, Hong Nhung filed an appeal as she believed it was unreasonable for Hong Loan to be recognized as an adopted child and receive 85% of the inheritance. She requested the appellate court to determine that Meritorious Artist Vu Linh had no first-degree heirs. Hong Nhung and Mr. Vo Thanh Nhieu (Vu Linh’s brother) should be recognized as second-degree heirs and receive the entire estate.
More than two years after the passing of the “King of cải lương,” the family conflict and the battle for inheritance between his sister and daughter remain unresolved. Currently, Vu Linh’s house (part of the disputed property) has been transferred to Hong Loan’s name, and she has moved in. She intends to preserve the place as a worship site for her father, grandparents, and ancestors.
The internal conflict within Vu Linh’s family emerged after the artist’s passing.
