In a conversation with reporters when talking about Hoang Thuy, Xuan Lan said that she still follows the development path of her former student and recognizes her as one of the Vietnamese models with a strong personality, many ambitions and determination in the profession.
I think if you are a teacher, you must accept standing behind. Successful students are a welcome thing," the female supermodel shared.
According to Xuan Lan, she still remembers the time when Hoang Thuy first went to New York to work. At that time, the model born in 1992 once texted to thank those who supported her in the early stages of pursuing international fashion.
She said that at that time Hoang Thuy took the initiative to text her to thank her and always remember what she taught. Xuan Lan was touched when reading these messages from her students.
However, Xuan Lan also frankly said that Hoang Thuy is a very strong personality, always wants to assert herself and pursue her goals to the end. This sometimes leads to conflicts in the working process.
When a person wants to become a "monument", they will have a need to assert themselves more strongly. Hoang Thuy and I are two strong personalities, so there will definitely be a collision," she said.
The female supermodel said that there was a period when the two had distances and misunderstandings. According to her, when each person has their own ego, there will be times when one person thinks the other is hindering their path.
However, Xuan Lan affirmed that she does not hate or intend to control her former student. Instead, she chose to remain silent and step back so that Hoang Thuy could walk on her own journey.
I don't hate Hoang Thuy. But I also don't want to impose on her how to behave because her personality is too strong," Xuan Lan expressed.
When asked about the possibility of Hoang Thuy successfully casting for Victoria's Secret, the female supermodel said that she feels happy if that becomes a reality.
“That has been her dream for a long time. I think people who dare to dream and dare to go are always worthy of recognition,” Xuan Lan added.
Xuan Lan's shares quickly attracted the attention of the audience because the relationship between her and Hoang Thuy has repeatedly become a topic of discussion on social networks.
Hoang Thuy is known as the champion of Vietnam's Next Top Model. During the program participation period, she was one of the outstanding students directly guided and trained by Xuan Lan. After the competition, Hoang Thuy had a period of activity at international catwalks before returning to Vietnam to develop her modeling career and participate in beauty contests.
