Live: Minh Phong returns to compete in the Next Top finals

At 9pm in Ho Chi Minh City, the final night of Vietnam's Next Top Model opened with singer Hoang Thuy Linh performing the show's theme song - "Break the rules". She wore a crop top cut-out to show off her waist and danced energetically with the Hoang Thong dance troupe.

Then came the appearance of 14 contestants in the common house with the collection of designer Nguyen Tien Truyen. The opening part ended with the skillful catwalk steps of supermodel Thanh Hang - the host of the program.

Thanh Hang, on behalf of the organizing committee, announced that contestant Minh Phong - who received the most votes from the audience - would return to compete in the final round with the top 4.

After 11 episodes, Vietnam's Next Top Model 2016 has reached its finale. To create something new for the seventh season, the organizers decided to choose the message "Breaking all limits". For the first time, issues of height, weight and age gave way to the courage of the contestants to overcome their own limits. The producers said they were willing to create opportunities for contestants who did not meet the model standards to enter the common house. In fact, La Thanh Thanh - the shortest girl in the Next Top seasons - was chosen to enter the common house and stayed until the final.
