On June 9, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism met to revise the circular 'banning' beauties from taking nude photos.
Deputy Minister Vuong Duy Bien will meet with relevant units to amend Circular 01/2016/TT-BVHTTDL issued on March 15, 2016.
This is a circular providing detailed instructions on the implementation of Decree 15/2016/ND-CP amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree 79/2012/ND-CP, regulating art performances, fashion shows; beauty and model contests; circulation and trading of audio and video recordings of music, dance and theater, effective from May 15, 2016.
In particular, Article 3 of Circular 01 stipulates: performers, fashion show performers, beauty contest winners, and models are not allowed to "Take photos or record personal images without costumes or use offensive costumes or makeup and unintentionally or intentionally disseminate or circulate on telecommunications networks".

| Circular 01 prohibits models and beauty queens from taking nude photos. In the photo is the book Spring and Youth by artist Thai Phien. |
This content has caused reactions and concerns for many photographers as well as beauties, models..., especially the regulation on "banning" taking "nude" photos...
Therefore, Deputy Minister Vuong Duy Bien will meet to collect opinions from relevant units to amend and fill legal loopholes in the content of Circular 01.
