Ha Kieu Anh reveals for the first time the reason for competing in the Miss pageant and her salary after being crowned
Miss Ha Kieu Anh shared that she entered the beauty pageant because she saw that when she won the title, she always received a salary many times higher than others and she also wanted to be like that.

| Recently, in the talk show about Miss Vietnam 2020 with 2 guests, Miss Vietnam 1992 Ha Kieu Anh and Miss Vietnam 2016 Do My Linh, they shared interesting stories about the crown before and after leaving the current position. |
It has been 28 years since her coronation, but Miss Ha Kieu Anh still remembers the emotions when she received the crown. “At that time, I was in psychological shock, crying so much that all my eyelashes fell out,” Ha Kieu Anh recalled. And she also surprised everyone when she revealed that the reason she entered the beauty pageant was to make money.
Ha Kieu Anh said: “At that time, a model performing in a show only earned 120,000 VND, at most 180,000 VND, but when a beauty queen appeared, she earned from 800,000 to 1.2 million VND. Beauty queens were allowed to wear gorgeous outfits, appear in the vedette position and also received salaries many times higher than normal people. I also wanted to be like that, so I signed up to compete in the beauty pageant.”

| Miss Vietnam 1992 said that it was a very young thought but it was the motivation for her to decide to compete in the beauty pageant. She revealed that after receiving the title, she took on 3 shows a week, only performing at fairs with a salary of 500 dollars for 4 hours a day. |
And with the question, "How does it feel to hand over the crown?", Ha Kieu Anh said she was not sad at all, but instead was moved and happy for the well-deserved result.
Ha Kieu Anh shared that before leaving her current position, she was worried that she would no longer be favored. However, after her term, she realized that she was shining more and more and received many bigger advertising contracts.

| She added: "Now when I go out, people still call me Miss Ha Kieu Anh, no one calls me a deposed queen." |
 |
| Miss Vietnam 2016 Do My Linh shared that the moment she handed over the title to her successor, she felt “a sigh of relief” after 2 years of pressure in her reign. “Looking back at the past 2 years, I see what I have done and contributed, and I feel very proud of what I have done.” |
