During the behavioral round, Tran Thi Thu Ngan was asked the question: "In the era of globalization, do you think it is necessary to preserve Vietnamese cultural identity and why?". However, she misread it as: "In the era of globalization, is Vietnamese identity still important?". Beauty Ngoc Diem - the MC of the program - had to correct the question.

In response to this question, Thu Ngan said: “The identity, culture and people of a nation are the core. We, whether in the past or present, integrated or not, need to preserve that cultural identity. I want to affirm one thing, Vietnam, we need to integrate, not dissolve."

At the press conference after the final night, the new beauty queen said that she was so nervous on stage that she stumbled a bit. When she got the question, she didn't read it carefully and forgot, so she gave the question sheet to the MC, so she didn't remember the behavioral question that was asked of her.
