On social media, the audience spread a video of Miss Ky Duyen at the airport to go to Mexico to compete in Miss Universe 2024.
The beauty was encouraged by her parents, relatives and friends. At the airport, Mr. Valentin Tran - President of Miss Universe Vietnam was also present to support Ky Duyen.
Mr. Valentin Tran shared with fans that Ky Duyen's parents proudly told him that "their daughter competed twice abroad". Runner-up Quynh Anh also said that no one else's parents could say the same thing as Ky Duyen's parents.
However, the statement of the president of Miss Universe Vietnam caused controversy. Because Ky Duyen has never competed internationally, and before her there were many beauties who participated in international competitions twice such as Nguyen Thi Loan, Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien, Ngoc Chau...
Some opinions say that Mr. Valentin Tran does not understand his representative well and lacks understanding of the beauty industry in Vietnam.
Mr. Valentin Tran and runner-up Quynh Anh mentioning Ky Duyen's parents is also considered tactless, easily causing trouble for those involved.
Before the first day of Miss Universe, the famous beauty site Sash Factor released a ranking based on the candidates' biographies. The representative of Thailand is the candidate predicted to be crowned. The top 5 names are Misses from Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Peru, and Puerto Rico.
Ky Duyen ranked 19th and is expected by many beauty fans to go far. This year, the number of contestants is quite large and has good backgrounds and education.
Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen was born in 1996, from Nam Dinh, and was crowned Miss Vietnam 2014 while still a student at Hanoi Foreign Trade University.
After the contest, she got into many scandals that affected her image, so she stopped working in showbiz for a while.
She returned as a model, working in the fashion industry. In many performance events, she was chosen as the vedette.
In 2017, Ky Duyen became a coach on The Look - Brand Beauty and a judge on Vietnam Supermodel at the age of 22.
By 2022, Ky Duyen will continue her role as a coach at Miss Fitness - Miss Sports and The Face Brand Face.
