Miss Vietnam Organizing Committee apologizes
On the official fanpage of the Miss Vietnam contest, the organizing committee posted a press release about the recent backlash over contestants dancing in the courtyard in front of Thai Hoa Palace inside the Hue Imperial City.
According to the organizers, in episode 8 of the reality TV show Miss Vietnam 2024 with the theme "Brightening Vietnamese Beauty", broadcast at 2:00 p.m. on June 7, contestant Vo Thi Thanh Binh (candidate number 119) performed a folk dance, cup dance, and enjoyed tea and cakes "Hue style". The location was at the court yard in front of Thai Hoa Palace (in the Hue Imperial Citadel area).
However, after being broadcast, Thanh Binh's performance received mixed reactions from the public. Immediately after that, the Miss Vietnam pageant's Organizing Committee proactively worked with the production unit, partners and contestants to find out the process that led to the above mistake.

"The organizing committee of the Miss Vietnam 2024 contest would like to take responsibility for the assessment of the filming location of contestant Vo Thi Thanh Binh's entry, leading to the contestant's inappropriate performance in the court yard in front of Thai Hoa Palace. We would like to deeply learn from this experience and sincerely apologize to the audience, people of Hue city, cultural researchers, press and media agencies, and hope that the audience and public opinion will sympathize with contestant Vo Thi Thanh Binh," the organizing committee shared.
The Miss Vietnam Organizing Committee would like to fully accept all feedback and said that it will further tighten the preparation, content censorship and location selection for the contestants' upcoming activities.
Miss Vietnam contestant apologizes
Previously, contestant Vo Thi Thanh Binh also spoke up to admit her mistake about dancing in front of Thai Hoa Palace. She shared: "When I received the challenge to perform at a place with such profound cultural significance, I did not thoroughly and fully understand the sacredness as well as the appropriate rules of conduct. This shortcoming led to my performance not being appropriate to historical culture, causing misunderstandings and negative emotions in the audience."
The contestant born in 2005 admitted that she was careless and could not justify her mistake, and asked to take responsibility for her actions. Thanh Binh said that this was a valuable lesson, she would learn from it deeply and hoped to receive sympathy and understanding from the public.
"More than ever, as a young person, I always desire to contribute to preserving and spreading the traditional cultural values of Hue in particular and Vietnam in general. This mistake is a valuable lesson for me to reflect on myself and learn from my experience. I promise to be more careful in all my actions and statements, always aware of my responsibility to culture and the community. I hope that the audience will understand and forgive my immaturity. Everyone's support and love is a great motivation for me to continue to strive to improve myself every day," she expressed.
