VTV editor Tuyet Trang suddenly dropped out of the Miss Charity contest.
Tuyet Trang is one of 25 finalists from the North who made it to the final round after the competition night on July 22. Right after the preliminary round, she was also considered one of the strong candidates from the North, with a bright face and good education, and is currently an editor for Vietnam Television.
But on July 23, when the contestants gathered to draw lots to divide into groups for the Miss Charity round in the Northern region, Tuyet Trang was absent.

That means she was not divided into groups to carry out charity projects in the Beauty with a Heart, a round that is quite important in terms of scores. This is a big disadvantage, making it difficult for Tuyet Trang to gain the necessary points to compete for the title in this year's contest.
The Organizing Committee confirmed that Tuyet Trang will "not participate in the Miss Charity round". However, the Organizing Committee representative affirmed that the female editor "will continue to participate in the final round".

Contacting Tuyet Trang, she said: "All information about my case at Miss Vietnam 2018 will be provided to the press by the Organizing Committee". She also did not answer the question of whether she would leave the contest or not.
This year, Beauty with a Heart is the most heavily invested round of Miss Vietnam. It has been around since 2016, but this is the first year that this round has been made into a reality TV show. This is considered a mark that makes Miss Vietnam stand out among many other beauty contests.
As for Tuyet Trang, according to initial assessments, she is the contestant most likely to make an impression in the social activity rounds such as Miss Charity. At Miss Universe Vietnam 2018, she also achieved the highest score after winning 2 challenges in the sub-rounds focusing on social activities and physical fitness.

Vu Thi Tuyet Trang was born in 1994 in Hanoi. She is currently an English editor at VTV4, with an IELTS score of 8.5 and is fluent in Spanish. She is also a former student of Foreign Trade University.
Tuyet Trang is no stranger to beauty pageants. She was in the top 10 of the 2013 Miss Charming Vietnamese Student contest, competed in the 2016 Miss Global Vietnamese Identity contest, was in the top 15 of Miss Universe Vietnam 2018, and is now in the final round of Miss Vietnam 2018./.
