In the response section, the beauties answered the same question: "What is your biggest fear in life?". Phan Thi Mo shared in English: "The most important thing in life is health. Therefore, my biggest fear is illness. We do not know when illness will come to us, to our loved ones and knock us down, preventing us from realizing our dreams. Everyone should cherish and preserve their health and that of their loved ones, to have the foundation to do whatever they want."
