Ky Duyen caused controversy when avoiding questions from international reporters at Miss Universe 2024

As a representative of Vietnam at the largest beauty pageant on the planet -Miss Universe, Ky Duyen received great attention from the home audience. After more than a week of competing, the Vietnamese representative has a fairly stable performance, knowing how to impress through her dressing style.

However, the point that worries the audience the most about the Vietnamese representative is her ability to communicate in foreign languages. In her most recent appearance, Ky Duyen impressed with her menswear style and sunglasses. As soon as she appeared, the Vietnamese representative was sought after and called by the international media.

But when asked by the media:"Who is your favourite Miss Universe?”Ky Duyen appeared confused and tried to turn around and go inside to refuse to answer.

Ky Duyen's reaction quickly received a lot of controversy from the audience. Many people were disappointed when Ky Duyen avoided a simple question, which showed that the beauty queen's main weakness was foreign languages.

However, many viewers defended Ky Duyen, saying that she intentionally did not want to answer such a selective question because it could easily cause negative reactions. In addition, the beauty queen was also being rushed by the program crew to move with the group, so she did not have enough time to stop and answer.

This is not the first time Ky Duyen has caused controversy because of her English speaking ability at theMiss Universe 2024.A few days ago, the Vietnamese beauty also had a hesitant answer when interviewed by a TV station.

The audience believes that Ky Duyen's biggest weakness is that her foreign language skills are not yet fluent and natural. Throughout the competition, she only spoke simple and short sentences, not clearly expressing her personality and thoughts.

When interacting with international representatives, the Vietnamese beauty queen still revealed a rather limited vocabulary and lacked diversity in her answers.

Previously, at the sharing session before leaving for the international competition, Ky Duyen confidently affirmed her English proficiency."enough to communicate and connect with candidates from all directions".However, she said she will prioritize using Vietnamese in important competitions at Miss Universe 2024.

"During private interviews or when I need to answer questions, I will decide to use my mother tongue. I want to convey the message in the clearest and strongest way. The energy and inner strength must be transmitted through my mother tongue. There will always be an interpreter at the competition, so this is not a big problem. Using English will sometimes affect my demeanor.", the beauty confirmed.

Halfway through the journey, the Vietnamese representative still maintains a stable spirit. However, in the latest evaluation table of the famous beauty websiteMissosology(with more than 3.5 million followers), Ky Duyen was absent from the top 30. Before going to Mexico to compete, Ky Duyen was even highly rated by this beauty site at 6th place.

Ky Duyen revealed that she only gets very little sleep each day and always has to wake up at 4am to do her own makeup and hair. She wants to appear as presentable as possible in front of the media and contestants. The beauty queen also said that she always listens to the audience's feedback and will try to improve herself every day.

In addition, Ky Duyen has just reached 1.8 million followers on her personal Instagram page. After a few days of competing in the contest, she has increased her followers by more than 100 thousand. The above number helps Ky Duyen enter the top of the beauties with the most followers on the social network Instagram atMiss Universe 2024.

In the product advertisement photo posted by the contest, Ky Duyen is the one receiving the highest interaction. In addition, she was also chosen to become the advertising face for brands such as Pandora, Vizzano, Tasty Green during her journey to participate in the contest.

The audience hopes that if she can maintain this energy and meticulousness, Ky Duyen will make an impression on important competition nights.
