The Miss Grand International 2025 final will take place on October 18 in Thailand, gathering 77 contestants from all over the world. The representative of Vietnam - Miss Yen Nhi is currently having many difficulties to regain her top-placed streak in the contest.
In this contest, in addition to the controversy over her speech and weak English, Miss Yen Nhi also had some points to attract the audience.
She attracted attention with her national costume performance "Thang Long Hoi", attracting more than 30 million views, the highest among the contestants.
However, Yen Nhi's actual achievements in the competition are still limited: she entered the top 20 in the "Co country's Power of the Year" competition, but did not make it to the Talent and conversion round, and fell out of the top 20 prediction table of international beauty sites such as Missosology.
In the semi-final night on the evening of October 15, Yen Nhi was assessed to have completed her swimsuit and evening gown performance well. Currently, she only achieved about 1% of online votes, ranking outside the top 10 Miss Popular Vote. Therefore, the opportunity for her to advance straight to the top 10 is almost impossible.
In addition, Yen Nhi is also limited in viral ( spreading) factors and communication strategies. In a contest heavily influenced by social networks like Miss Grand International 2025, creating highlights and appearing heavily in international media is an important advantage. However, the amount of interaction between Yen Nhi and the media is still quite modest compared to the representative of Thailand or the Philippines. This made her less noticed during the voting period and filming activities.
Another minus point comes from young international experience. Before competing in Miss Grand International, Yen Nhi had never participated in a world-class beauty contest. Adapting to a tight schedule, communicating with foreign candidates and expressing themselves in a multicultural environment is a big challenge. Some international sites commented that her style is still a bit "tactless", lacking in nature and freedom - something that Miss Grand International judges often look for.
Yen Nhi is also under pressure from the expectations of domestic audiences, especially after the success of Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien - Miss Grand International 2021. Being constantly compared to her "sisters" made her struggle to perform, easily leading to a stressful or unnatural mentality on stage.
However, these limitations do not mean failure. If she knows how to adjust her strategy, express her personality more clearly and take advantage of opportunities, Yen Nhi can still create a surprise in the final night. Therefore, the possibility of Yen Nhi entering the top 20 is possible. However, to advance straight to the top 10, top 5 in the final is very difficult.
