Surprise about the academic achievements and family background of the new Miss Luong Thuy Linh

19-year-old girl from Cao Bang crowned Miss World Vietnam 2019

The 178 cm tall, 19 year old girl from Cao Bang surpassed 38 other contestants to win the crown at the final night held on the evening of August 3 in Da Nang.

Surpassing 39 contestants, Luong Thuy Linh was crowned Miss World Vietnam 2019 on the evening of August 3 in Da Nang. This victory was not too surprising because she was highly regarded right from the Northern final round.

The new beauty queen has an impressive height of 1.77 m, a face with delicate features. In particular, Luong Thuy Linh stands out among the contestants thanks to her excellent foreign language skills. The 10X beauty was taught English by her parents since she was a child. She was a member of the national English team and achieved IELTS 7.5. She is currently a student at the Foreign Trade University.

Not only beautiful and talented, Luong Thuy Linh was also born into a powerful family in Cao Bang city. The new beauty queen said her father was an officer and her mother was a civil servant. But in reality, her mother is Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, Director of the State Treasury of Cao Bang province.

During the final night, Mrs. Huong and her family were also present. Sharing with the press, Mrs. Huong said that more than 10 family members went to Da Nang to cheer for Thuy Linh. The beauty's father, however, was unable to directly witness his daughter's coronation due to work.

Also because she was born into a wealthy family, Luong Thuy Linh was suspected of buying the award before the final night. Responding to the press, the new beauty queen affirmed: "That rumor did not affect me too much because I have the support of the public. With so much support, do you think I need to buy the award?"

Meanwhile, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong said that at first, her family prevented her daughter from participating in the beauty pageant because they were afraid it would affect her studies. Later, witnessing Thuy Linh's efforts and determination, her family supported her. Happy that her daughter was crowned Miss, Ms. Huong still affirmed: "I want Thuy Linh to focus on her studies."

She revealed that according to plan, Luong Thuy Linh will go to Germany to study in October. However, everything may change when her daughter unexpectedly becomes a beauty queen.

Ms. Huong said that her daughter was a good student for 12 years of school, obedient but shy since childhood. She said that her daughter registered for Miss World Vietnam 2019 because of her friends' encouragement and motivation.

Previously, on the stage of the final night of Miss World Vietnam, Luong Thuy Linh showed confidence and good expressions but limited catwalk skills.

When it came to the question and answer session, the 10X beauty was confident. She said: “Throughout the journey of the contest, I and the 38 contestants had many beautiful moments and memories. But perhaps the moment that makes me feel most proud and memorable is right now, when I am standing here answering the question and answer session. And this moment will be even more beautiful if I am crowned Miss.”

Luong Thuy Linh denied buying the award.

Right from the beginning of the contest, Luong Thuy Linh's face was commented to resemble Miss Do My Linh. Talking about this at the press conference on the morning of August 4, she happily said: "I was quite surprised and happy to be commented to resemble Ms. My Linh. But I need to learn more to be able to compare with her."

The 10X admitted that she used to be an insecure girl, always feeling self-conscious about her body, especially her big waist. "I was also afraid of crowds. However, after joining the contest, I overcame those problems and felt more confident," the new beauty queen shared.
