Songwriter Tran Tien, a
member of the judging panel of “Universal Steps”, the version of “Dancing with
the Stars” reality show in Vietnam,
will leave the jury as of the next show on May 15.

The famous
songwriter confirmed that he left the show because he is busy with a tour in
the Czech Republic and other European countries.
He left Vietnam to Czech Republic
on May 11.

Tran Tien denied
the information that he left Universal Steps because of the pressure from the
public. He said he was very interested in this show.

Earlier, some
viewers didn’t agree with Tran Tien’s “sensitive” comments in the last three
shows, for example “I’m waiting for her sexy buttock but i didn’t”, “You smiled
a lot and it made you like a woman”, “Where did you face in that your face is
now full of marks of women’s breasts”.

Male singer Hua Vi
Van, who was commented “You smiled a lot and it made you like a woman”, said he
was not sad about Tran Tien’s remarks. Van said it is not a big deal. Tran Tien
spoke frankly like in the real life, which is appropriate to a reality show.

“After the show,
Mr. Tien saw me in person and said ‘Please don’t be sad at my comment. If you
are sad about me, you will be sad your whole life’. We should not pick holes in
his comments,” said Hua Vi Van.

Universal Steps
organizer – Cat Tien Sa, said that it would make public the new juryman on May
15, at the third show.

This is the third
time the reality show changed its juryman, after songwriters Tran Tien and Duc
Huy replaced movie directors Le Hoang and Quang Dung.

From ten pairs of
dancers, singer Hua Vi Van and his partner were rejected after the show on May
1. Rocker Pham Anh Khoa now takes the lead. This Sunday, May 15, competitors
will compete in Rumba and Quickstep at Hanoi’s Quan Ngua
Sports Palace.
