Contrarily, Jack’s ex-lover who got married had to live with an abusive husband. They met again when her husband was hitting her and Jack stepped in to help his ex-girlfriend. The ending of this MV was very sad when the girl died. This is true with a sentence in Việt Nam “Hồng nhan bạc phận” (meaning: the girls who are beautiful always have an unfortunate fate) so that’s why the title and content of his two songs are correlated.
