One of the special moments of the qualifying round was the appearance of singer To Ngoc Bao Linh (Lynk Lee), making the judges excited. With extensive experience in artistic activities, Lynk Lee quickly won the hearts of judges thanks to his focus and determination.
The singer born in 1988 shared: "As a singer, I will always pursue my passion and desire. Entering the beauty industry is not only a challenge but also an opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone, looking for bigger things.
I have cherished the dream of competing in beauty pageants since I was a child. After switching genres, many audiences hoped I would try my hand. At this point, I felt confident enough to step onto the stage, responding to the affection that everyone had given me".
As a result, Lynk Lee received 5/7 "agreeable" votes from the judges and was allowed to continue to the next round.
