The Face season 2 faces allegations of fabricated controversies even before airing.
The Face season 2, even before airing, is already suspected of being a gimmick with its lineup of controversial hot girl contestants and chaotic information surrounding the three coaches.
The Face coach is suspected of having had a nose job.
The first season of The Face Vietnam – The Brand's Face – concluded with a wave of controversy in each round. From coaches to contestants and guests, everyone became a hot topic of discussion on social media. Season 2 of The Face Vietnam kicked off with an online casting round, and although filming is still underway, the show is already generating just as much buzz and controversy as season 1.
From the online preliminary rounds, the organizers relaxed the application requirements by removing the height limit, creating opportunities for a host of famous hot girls to register and participate, along with sensational side stories. The influx of hot girls known for their revealing photos, showing off their bodies, or less-than-pleasant personal stories into the preliminary rounds of The Face season 2 surprised the public.
Names like Huyen Anh (Ba 'Tung'), Thuy Vi, Ngan 98, Mon 2k... even though they didn't make it to the next round, still managed to attract attention in one way or another.

The online casting round caused a sensation due to the appearance of two names, "Ba Tung" Huyen Anh and Thuy Vi, raising concerns that these women with negative images would "invade" national television. Both were initially in the safe zone but unexpectedly dropped rapidly in ranking and were eliminated in the very first round.

At the live auditions, the controversial hot girls Ngan 98 and Mon 2k also surprised the public. Ngan 98's swimsuit performance, featuring an extremely revealing bikini, sparked endless discussion. Their noisy appearance but unexpected elimination led many to believe it was a media stunt by the organizers to attract public attention. However, whether true or not, the controversial contestants caused The Face to consistently top Google search trends during the audition days.
However, before things could settle down, viewers were once again lost in a maze of rumors about the coaching panel for season 2. The coaching panel in The Face versions around the world has always attracted the audience's attention because they will directly teach, demonstrate, and play a role in raising the drama of the show to a climax.

Ha Ho, Pham Huong, and Lan Khue were coaches in season 1. Facing speculation about whether they would continue in season 2, all three remained evasive, further fueling public curiosity. Subsequently, Pham Huong – the "harshest" coach of season 1 – officially confirmed her departure from the program. As for the remaining two coaches, Lan Khue was ambiguous about the possibility of returning, while Ha Ho remained very secretive about the rumors. At an event, when VietNamNet questioned her, Ha Ho simply smiled and replied, "I don't know!"
Besides the three coaches from the first season, a number of Vietnamese models were also considered by viewers, including Thanh Hang, Xuan Lan, Ha Anh, Vo Hoang Yen, etc. Later, Thanh Hang publicly declined, stating that her appearance could conflict with the brand she represents and the program's sponsor. Ha Anh, on the other hand, frankly stated that they "do not share the same vision" as the program and therefore could not cooperate.

Later, Minh Hang was unexpectedly confirmed by many sources to become a coach for season 3. Shortly after, news surfaced that Minh Hang was being "pressured." According to these reports, a powerful force had put pressure on the organizers, and Minh Hang felt uncomfortable, so she left the coaching position at the last minute.
Many veteran models have been mentioned in predictions that they are the "oppressive force" against Minh Hang, including model Xuan Lan, which angered the supermodel and prompted her to speak out.

She felt her name was being used for PR purposes for the show ever since the 'judging panel' segment and had remained silent, but when rumors of her suppressing younger contestants crossed a certain line, she felt compelled to speak out.
"I've heard many reporters say that I was the one who forced Minh Hang to leave the competition as a judge, and I think that's going too far. We should maintain a friendly relationship. Because the showbiz world is small. We might run into each other again in the future. I'm a decent person, not someone who doesn't know anything. I never agreed to be a judge for The Face and have no intention of doing so. Besides, how would I know the details of the program to force anyone?"
The Face season 2 hasn't officially aired yet, but it's already been plagued by controversies and scandals. After the lineup of hot girl contestants and the 'maze' of coaches, viewers are paying increasing attention to the show. However, The Face remains a nationally broadcast reality TV show, so the competition still needs to be supervised and balanced between gimmicks and genuine value.
Besides, while the results of The Face season 2 were convincing, the career prospects for the contestants remain an open question mark in the market, as not all contestants' faces will necessarily become famous figures corresponding to the show's popularity.
