Miss Ha Kieu Anh's 16-year-old behavior competition suddenly became a 'fever' again
After 31 years, Ha Kieu Anh's question and answer performance is still praised as one of the best in the history of beauty contests.
Recently, when Miss Ý Nhi was caught up in a controversy over a series of statements made in media interactions, many audiences questioned the level and communication skills of Ý Nhi in particular and beauty queens and runners-up in general.
Amidst this noise, Miss Ha Kieu Anh's performance in the final round of the Miss National contest of Tien Phong newspaper (predecessor of Miss Vietnam) in 1992 suddenly became a "fever" again on social networks.
At this contest, Ha Kieu Anh was one of the three contestants who entered the behavioral round. She was asked the question: "Who wins the Miss crown this time, do you think is the most beautiful person in our country?"
Ha Kieu Anh calmly gave the answer: "The winner of the beauty pageant this time is just the most beautiful among all the contestants who participated in the contest. In our whole country and even the girls in the row below, there are many beautiful people. But perhaps for some reason, you cannot participate in today's contest."
Ha Kieu Anh's performance was highly appreciated by the judges for her intelligence, quickness and modesty. She also received applause from the large audience present at Phan Dinh Phung Stadium (HCMC).
Afterwards, the beauty was crowned Miss and also won the Best Behavior award. The remaining two contestants in the top 3, Vi Thi Dong and Nguyen Minh Phuong, won the 1st and 2nd Runner-up titles respectively.
On social networks, many viewers also praised Ha Kieu Anh's response to the question 31 years ago. At that time, she was only 16 years old but her demeanor was mature and unhurried. Her skillful communication helped the beauty score points in the question and answer round and convincingly win the crown.
Some comments: "The beauty queen of the past was both talented and beautiful"; "The answer was simple but intelligent, deserved to be crowned"; "After 31 years, I still find it convincing"; "At 16 years old, she is mature and skillful, so admirable"...
In 2020, when sharing memories of the beauty pageant, Ha Kieu Anh said: "I feel so lucky. I will never forget this moment."
In the context of the scandal surrounding beauty queens, many viewers believe that today’s beauties need to learn from the previous generation about cultural behavior. The public expects modern beauty queens to have all the elements from appearance to knowledge.
Ha Kieu Anh was born in 1976, from Hanoi, and was crowned Miss Tien Phong newspaper in 1992 (the predecessor of the Miss Vietnam contest) when she was just 16 years old, becoming the youngest Miss in the history of this contest.
At that time, she was a first-year student of the vocal department of the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music. Currently, Ha Kieu Anh has turned to business but still appears in many entertainment events. She often participates as an advisor and judge in some beauty pageants.
