In the last days of the year, the name Khoa Pug unexpectedly became hotter than ever for the online community, especially after the controversies involving him and the jewelry tycoon Johnny Dang. However, even when this incident seemed to be calming down, and both parties stopped arguing through vlogs or statuses, recently, another figure related to Khoa Pug has been caught up in rumors and suspicions about being distanced from the YouTuber, no longer as close as before. That person is Vuong Pham – a name closely associated with Khoa Pug since the latter first came to America.
Accordingly, after the online community discovered that Khoa Pug had outright deleted the photo believed to be a memento of the duo, numerous rumors regarding the relationship between Vuong Pham and the YouTuber surfaced. In fact, many sources even claimed that Vuong Pham was merely taking advantage of Khoa Pug’s fame to “gain popularity” and benefit his YouTube channel. This claim seems to hold more weight when looking at the impressive growth rate of subscribers on Vuong Pham’s YouTube channel. Specifically, in December alone, this guy’s channel gained over 400,000 followers (according to Social Blade) – a relatively impressive number for any YouTuber. Consequently, Vuong Pham’s YouTube channel immediately received a gold button for this new milestone.
However, there are also many opinions suggesting that in the position of a “tycoon” with plenty of wealth like Vuong Pham, the income from his YouTube channel is not significant enough to warrant such actions. Nevertheless, some viewers have gradually realized that recently, instead of making vlogs like before, Vuong Pham has integrated, or even created quite a few advertising videos, seeking real estate investments to the point where many people suspect he is “farming views”. This is also the reason why he is entangled in suspicions of riding on Khoa Pug’s fame for growth.
In light of the controversies and suspicions from the online community, currently, both Khoa Pug and Vuong Pham have not confirmed or denied this information.
