Ky Duyen and Huong Giang were criticized for having weaker abilities than the Supermodel contestants.

The Organizing Committee of Vietnam Supermodel 2018 has just announced the latest information about the Vietnam Supermodel 2018 contest.

Unlike previous years, the 2018 season will take place in a reality TV format where contestants compete in challenges under the guidance of coaches.

The Organizing Committee also announced that Miss Ky Duyen and Huong Giang will take on the positions of coaches in this year's competition.

As soon as this information was officially announced, public opinion and the media expressed skepticism about the capacity and ability of the two coaches that the Organizing Committee trusted to be in charge of this year's tournament.

Accordingly, many opinions say that both Huong Giang and Ky Duyen's starting point is not being a model, so it is very difficult to accurately assess the contestants' abilities, especially when there are familiar faces on domestic fashion catwalks participating in this year's program.

Besides, the familiar titles of Huong Giang and Ky Duyen today are both Miss, not supermodels with enough class, prestige, and influence to create public opinion when judging a professional competition about the modeling profession.

The audience agrees that Huong Giang has made a lot of efforts to affirm her position and thinking in the beauty pageant.

She is also considered a beautiful and confident person on stage, having participated in major fashion shows in recent times as a vedette or performing at Miss Transgender pageants.

However, the steps, height and flexibility of a real supermodel are not the factors that can convince Huong Giang at this time.

Ky Duyen is a Miss Vietnam who is building a clear fashion image and investing in this field, unlike other Miss Vietnam who only limit their image to the safety of the beauty queen image.

However, the role of The Look 2017 coach and the victory in this online program or being the vedette in some fashion shows are not enough for Ky Duyen to assert herself as a Supermodel judge.

The most obvious weakness that can be seen from Ky Duyen is her unskilled catwalk skills as well as limited facial expressions.

Ky Duyen is mainly invited to perform as a vedette, not as a professional model, and does not perform much, so when she appears on the catwalk, it is not difficult for people in the profession to see that her legs are not proficient in handling poses, her hands or facial expressions are limited. Her lack of focus in her eyes is also an easy point to see in the shows she has participated in. A reader commented: "The era of coaches with lower qualifications than the contestants is coming to the throne."

Besides the criticisms of the Organizing Committee for inviting two beauty queens to be judges for the Supermodel contest while the history of Vietnam Supermodel has many bright and outstanding faces such as Lan Khue, Minh Tu,... who deserve to sit in this position, there are also opinions expressing that this is a new way to challenge the Organizing Committee and the coaches when they have to prove their real abilities that the audience may not know as well as perfect themselves to a higher level in the field of fashion when both of them are said to wear shirts that are too loose for the role of coaches.

Responding to questions about her role at Vietnam Supermodel 2018, Huong Giang confidently said:"There are teachers who are very short, fat and male but still train super catwalk models. That's because their will can control the actions of others."She expressed that she has enough calculation, effort and ambition for this position.

The fact that two beauty queens will take on the role of coaches in a modeling competition will certainly be a controversial topic in the Vietnam Supermodel 2018 season. The audience is looking forward to the challenges of the program, the bright contestants and especially the live demonstration of Huong Giang and Ky Duyen with the contestants when the competition episodes of Vietnam Supermodel 2018 are aired.

After the show When Men Get Pregnant, Vietnam Supermodel is the second show that Ky Duyen and Huong Giang participated in filming together.

Huong Giang is considered a familiar artist on game shows, as most of the big and small game shows in the country have had transgender beauty queens participate as guests or contestants.

Ky Duyen is also a young face that has recently attracted attention from game shows even though she is quite young - 22 years old.
