Vietnamese beauties who have declared to return their Miss crowns

In 2011, the Miss Ethnic Vietnam contest was held for the second time. In this contest, beauty Trieu Thi Ha was crowned and received enthusiastic support from the public.

However, in May 2014, information appeared that Trieu Thi Ha wrote a petition to return the title to the contest's Organizing Committee. In the petition, the beauty wrote:“Due to my health, I am not qualified to comply with the regulations of the Organizing Committee and the Steering Committee. Therefore, I would like to return the title of Miss Vietnam Ethnic Groups for the second time - 2011. To ensure the seriousness of the Organizing Committee, the Steering Committee and the Jury, I respectfully ask for your approval and I promise to maintain my ethics and character so as not to affect the reputation of the contest.”

However, after that, there were continuous “fights” between Trieu Thi Ha and the contest’s Organizing Committee. In an interview with the media, the beauty named Trieu said:“Ha wrote an application and sent it to the Organizing Committee in March 2013. Everyone wants to be a Miss, but being a Miss like Ha means having to endure a lot of pressure.”

Trieu Thi Ha also revealed more pressure from the organizing committee. The incident became so noisy that on May 23, 2014, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City issued Official Letter No. 2647/SVHTTDL-VP, signed by Mr. Vo Trong Nam - Deputy Director of the Department, agreeing to revoke the title of Miss Vietnam Ethnic Groups 2011 of Trieu Thi Ha.

However, in the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Vu Xuan Thanh - Chief Inspector of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said that it was impossible to revoke Trieu Thi Ha's crown because she was currently only a former Miss.

After the noisy return of the crown, Trieu Thi Ha participated in some more activities in the entertainment industry: Participating in acting in moviesSea hibiscus love, plays the female lead in the movieNymph, participated in some TV series:Like love song, Wild grass, Bright moon...

In 2015, Trieu Thi Ha announced a charity project calledMillion smiles, Million dreamsaiming to improve the lives of children in the highlands. However, since then, the beauty has almost "disappeared" from the entertainment industry. Her personal page is also rarely updated with new information or pictures.

After Trieu Thi Ha, another beauty queen also publicly demanded to return her title and crown to the Organizing Committee. That is Miss Ocean 2014 Dang Thu Thao.

Specifically, when the Miss Ocean 2017 contest ended, beauty Le Au Ngan Anh was crowned. The new Miss quickly faced mixed opinions about cosmetic surgery, and even received requests from the public and authorities to strip her of her crown.

Dang Thu Thao herself was the previous Miss at that time, but in the final night of the contest, she was not invited to crown her successor. After too much noise between her and the Organizing Committee, plus Le Au Ngan Anh admitting to having plastic surgery before being crowned, the beauty Dang was upset and wanted to give up the title of Miss Ocean 2014.

She shared with the press:“I feel my title has been degraded because the new Miss admitted to having had plastic surgery, but the organizers still decided to defend their choice. After a day of waiting for an official statement from the contest organizers, which has not yet been released, I want to give up this title to express my attitude of always pursuing natural values ​​and supporting the regulations of the Department of Performing Arts."

The incident caused quite a strain in the relationship between Dang Thu Thao and the Head of the Miss Ocean Organizing Committee – Mr. Vo Viet Chung. Both sides have “accused” each other many times in the press and on social networks.

However, in September 2022, Dang Thu Thao attended the event with the crown on her head and kept the title of Miss Ocean. This made netizens think that she was "pretending" and "greedy for fame" because she had announced to give up the title but now still used it to attend the event.

In response, Ms. Dang Thuy Trang - Dang Thu Thao's sister affirmed that the beauty Dang and the Miss Ocean pageant's Organizing Committee have "made peace" so now she is still Miss Ocean 2017.

On her personal page, Dang Thuy Trang wrote:“For Dang Thu Thao, Vo Viet Chung is like an older brother, a teacher, a father. And vice versa, Miss Ocean 2014 - Dang Thu Thao - is like his spiritual child.

In daily life, fathers and sons in the family sometimes have misunderstandings to the point of turning their backs on each other, but in a family, anger and resentment will eventually disappear when both realize their mistakes.

Once a child knows his mistake, no father can abandon his child. Dang Thu Thao is still Miss Ocean 2014 - Vo Viet Chung's favorite child, everyone."

While Trieu Thi Ha and Dang Thu Thao publicly expressed their desire to return their crowns, runner-up Hoang My also caused a stir when she announced her desire to cut the words "runner-up" from before her name.

Hoang My is loved and admired by many audiences for her beauty, behavior, and efforts to assert herself and build a beautiful image for her title.

However, in September 2013, Hoang My suddenly cut off her long hair that had been associated with her image for many years and declared:“I have long hair and a gentle face, so I don’t dare do anything that goes against that image. By cutting my hair, I want to cut off the two words Runner-up in front of my name. From now on, don’t call me Runner-up Hoang My – call me Vu Hoang My.”

However, Hoang My said she did not give up her title of runner-up but only considered it the past to move on to a new life:“I do not give up my status. I love the title and my former runner-up girl, but it is in the past. I have lived and worked with all my passion as a representative of Vietnam to international friends. Now I want to live for my passion.”



After that, Hoang My spent a lot of time abroad to study film technology, following her interests. In recent years, the beauty has regularly participated in Vietnamese showbiz as a judge in major beauty contests such as Miss Universe Vietnam 2017 and Miss Universe 2022.
