After more than 1 month of working, Phuong Nga feels that she has matured a lot in both knowledge and hosting skills. |
“When I am not recognized as an MC, it proves that I am not good enough. Although I feel sad, I will use that as motivation to strive even harder” - the beauty shared.
Currently, Phuong Nga is quite busy hosting two programs at VTV. She is used to waking up at 4:30 am and moving to the studio to prepare to go on air at 6:30 am.
In addition to her hosting schedule, she plans to learn more English with the goal of becoming a bilingual MC. According to Phuong Nga, being a bilingual MC requires a solid vocabulary, grammar, and standard pronunciation. She herself is quite fluent in foreign languages, but to stand on stage and host a program in English gracefully, she needs to practice more.
Since becoming one of the main MCs of "Cafe Sáng", her parents, especially her boyfriend Binh An, have always followed and encouraged Phuong Nga. "Everyone compliments my face for creating a good impression on the audience when on screen, my short sentences, and my ability to create a happy atmosphere with humorous sayings. However, everyone also criticizes me for being shy, afraid of speaking, afraid of making mistakes, and my voice not being good enough. The opinions of my family and boyfriend are very meaningful to me," she confided.

Runner-up Phuong Nga: "I feel a bit sad because I work as an MC but am still called runner-up." |
After more than a month of working, Phuong Nga feels that she has matured a lot in both knowledge and hosting skills. After each episode, she realizes where she is lacking and finds ways to overcome it. "The road ahead of me is still very long and requires me to study harder to improve myself" - the runner-up shared.
Among the MCs who co-hosted with Phuong Nga at "Morning Coffee", MC Duc Bao is the one with expertise and a lot of experience. The runner-up is happy because she is often paired with her "senior" and thanks to that, she is more confident. According to Phuong Nga, Duc Bao is very calm whenever the script has unexpected changes or falls into a situation of lacking or having too much airtime.
As for Phi Linh, one of the 8 MCs of the program, Phuong Nga always feels the energy from her "senior"'s voice and naturalness.
