Ngoc Duyen is a judge of 'Miss Grand Japan' 2017

After a period of silence, Ngoc Duyen has officially returned to the entertainment industry with many activities and major projects. Recently, the 'Global Beauty Queen' 2016 was invited by the organizers of the 'Miss Grand Japan 2017' contest to be a judge.

Winning the 'Global Beauty Queen' contest in 2016 made Ngoc Duyen a name sought after by the media as well as attracting public attention. She became the figure who helped Vietnamese beauty rise in the international arena and became a source of inspiration for many girls who dream of becoming beauty queens.

To prepare well for her role as a judge in Japan, Ngoc Duyen has been constantly improving herself. She mainly practices English at home and works out to maintain her figure. Ngoc Duyen revealed that she wants to stand out every time she appears, both as a way to raise her profile and as a courtesy to the event organizers.

According to the schedule, Ngoc Duyen will fly to Japan in the early morning of September 11 with her team including photographer, make-up artist and stylist. She plans to wear an outfit designed by Anh Thu for the final night of the competition.

Sharing about her new role, Ngoc Duyen said she felt extremely excited and proud. Just a year ago, she was still a contestant, but thanks to her confidence and intelligence, Ngoc Duyen was crowned the highest position in the international beauty arena.

The beauty hopes to work with the remaining judges to find the best contestant of the contest to represent Japan in Vietnam to attend 'Miss Grand International' 2017. Ngoc Duyen hopes that the winner will be a worthy opponent of runner-up Huyen My in this contest.

The photo series was done with the support of photographer Rin Tran, stylist Hiep Chu, makeup artist Hung Dang, and costume designer Do Long.
