After Miss Thanh Thuy and Ky Duyen, the next beauty to compete internationally is runner-up Bui Khanh Linh with the Miss Intercontinental 2024 contest.
On the evening of November 18, runner-up Bui Khanh Linh left for Egypt - the venue of this year's competition. However, upon arriving, she unexpectedly discovered that she had forgotten her "Vietnam" sash (ribbon). She also revealed this to the audience via a livestream on her personal page. However, Bui Khanh Linh was also comforted by other contestants that the program would also issue official sashes to each representative when the competition officially began.
During the sidelines of the competition, Bui Khanh Linh held the Vietnamese flag instead of the sash like other representatives. Bui Khanh Linh's incident sparked much controversy.
Some people expressed disappointment when Bui Khanh Linh went to an international competition but forgot the sash bearing the name of the country she represented, saying that this is one of the most important things to keep in mind when going to an international competition. However, there were also opinions that it was just an accident and that the Vietnamese representative should keep a strong mentality when entering this year's competition.
Bui Khanh Linh was born in 2002, from Bac Giang. She has a standard body with the advantage of a height of 1m76 and measurements of 84 - 60 - 96. She has participated in many beauty contests and reached high positions such as top 10 Miss World Vietnam 2022, top 5 Miss World Vietnam 2023 and 1st runner-up Miss Grand Vietnam 2023. With the advantage of height, Bui Khanh Linh is often invited to perform for fashion shows.
Recently, she participated in the dating show "Paradise Island" and attracted attention when she paired up with Minuk. However, Bui Khanh Linh also faced rumors that she had a boyfriend before.
Miss Intercontinental is a long-standing beauty pageant. The final night of Miss Intercontinental 2024 took place on December 6 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Vietnam once had a representative crowned in this contest, Miss Nguyen Le Bao Ngoc. In 2023, runner-up Ngoc Hang also participated in Miss Intercontinental and won the title of 2nd runner-up.
