| Besides her charitable activities, H'Hen Niê also boldly tried her hand at acting by participating in the film project "578" directed by Luong Dinh Dung. For her, when you have the opportunity, you should try it because life never gives you a second chance. In the film, H'Hen Niê had many fight scenes, staying up late and waking up early to film in cold weather, but she didn't mind; on the contrary, the beauty queen extremely cherished this opportunity. |
In a "decade of beauty" for Miss Vietnam, Ky Duyen is perhaps the beauty queen who has been involved in the most controversies, but also the one who has undergone a shocking transformation. At the time of her coronation, Ky Duyen was only 18 years old but constantly faced scandals. It began with controversies about her appearance, followed by smoking in public, drug use... making Ky Duyen the "controversial beauty queen".

Having gained experience from participating in "The Amazing Race," Ky Duyen also smoothly overcame the challenges in "Stars in the Military." After the show aired, the beauty queen was praised for not being "spoiled" but instead encouraging and supporting her senior colleague Nam Thu.

Miss International Transgender 2018 Huong Giang
Huong Giang is considered one of the most outstanding beauties of the year, unlike other beauties as she had both positive and negative aspects throughout her activities in 2020.
From a singer, Huong Giang rose to fame after winning Miss International Transgender 2018 and received much love from the audience. However, while the first half of 2020 was a time of glory for Huong Giang, the second half of 2020 saw her embroiled in controversy and boycotted by the audience.

With her influence, Huong Giang is a frequent face on fashion runways and television, familiar to audiences through programs like "Who Is That Person?" and "Our Sisterhood"... However, because of her frequent television appearances and often philosophical sharing, Huong Giang has been dubbed the "Queen of Morality" by some viewers, who accuse her of being hypocritical towards her fans. From this, a wave of boycotting Huong Giang has erupted.
