However, winning first place in the Talent competition and the support of the audience gave her more motivation, forgetting her fatigue to continue fighting in the competition.

Not only did Huong Giang bring to the contest the image of a stylish woman with expensive branded items, she also introduced to the international audience the traditional Vietnamese costume - Ao Dai, through an interview recording for one of Thailand's most famous TV channels - GMM, which took place on March 4.

After this filming day, Huong Giang and 27 other contestants had a trip to visit the culture and cuisine of Thailand. During the activities, the Vietnamese representative was always considered a friendly and sociable contestant.

To prepare for the Swimsuit competition held on March 7, Huong Giang said that she fasted a lot to stay in shape, did not dare to eat other foods besides green vegetables and drink water instead of rice, and went to sleep to forget her hunger. In addition, she also actively practiced her performance skills to be able to confidently shine in every competition night.

With all her efforts to overcome difficulties, big and small, Huong Giang was crowned Miss International Queen 2018, in the final night of the contest which took place on the evening of March 9.

During the final night, she was also awarded two additional awards: Talented Beauty and Media Beauty. Through the contest and her influence, Huong Giang wants to call for equality for transgender people.
