Ba Huân Joint Stock Company has been slow to pay social insurance contributions, with its debt increasing even as the number of employees declines. The latest update dated 9-Apr-2026 from Ho Chi Minh City Social Insurance shows the company owing nearly 8.6 billion VND over 13 months to 136 employees.

Compared with last year’s program, Ba Huân no longer participates in the duck egg category, where it had previously offered two SKUs.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise.
