Ho Chi Minh City - Singer Chi Pu, 31 years old, surpassed four other beauties to win the Beauty award - honoring the image and role of modern women - at "Star of the Year 2023".

The beauty said: "2023 is a year full of challenges, full of excitement, literally having to fight the wind and waves to achieve the achievements that Chi Pu dreams of. Starting the new year 2024 with the Beauty of the Year award is a very good signal for me. In each period, we will have a different concept of beauty. For Chi, a beautiful woman is a strong, confident person, constantly striving, holding her life in her hands, conquering her dreams, pursuing her passion.
All the nominations this year are extremely worthy, especially the person I admire the most - Ms. Huong Giang. I am just a little luckier thanks to receiving the love of the audience. I really appreciate the award that has created an extremely humane and valuable playground."
Chi Pu received the award "Beauty of the Year".
Previously, Ly Nha Ky was the one who presented the award to Chi Pu. She thanked the program for the opportunity to be a member of the jury. She said: "The award has many meanings, honoring the beauty, talent, and bravery of women. Any beauty who wins the award is a talented person, having to 'ride the wind and make waves' to have today."
The awards gala night had many emotional moments. The judges, artists, and organizers reminisced about a year of many milestones in the arts and entertainment industry, and together conveyed a message of a positive attitude towards life.
Unable to attend the event due to a previous schedule, My Tam - the winner of the Inspirational Artist award - sent a video to the program expressing her thoughts: "I think the most inspiring thing is the movie Nguoi mot thoi gian . It's not just about music and art but also about attitude towards life. That's what makes me happiest this year. Then there's Vietnam Idol, a very cozy show. Those are things I didn't plan for in advance, but everything comes, bringing positive energy."
The show first awarded the Couple of the Year award to two faces from the LGBT community, actors Ha Tri Quang and Thanh Doan. Ha Tri Quang tearfully recalled the time when he first came out as gay. At that time, he was a popular TV actor, willing to give up many opportunities to live as himself.

"Today, Quang would like to thank all of his friends, colleagues, and organizers for overcoming social barriers and prejudices, allowing Quang and Doan's love to flourish thanks to the Couple of the Year award." He emotionally recounted the story of asking his parents for permission to live their true lives. The two won the award thanks to 190,000 votes.
The celebrity couple got attention for their grand wedding in October, receiving many blessings from the audience and colleagues. Before that, they welcomed two children, a boy and a girl, through surrogacy.
When receiving the Hot Mom award, Nha Phuong reminded women to always stay relaxed and love themselves. She sent a message to her husband - actor Truong Giang: "Thank you, Dad, for being a support and creating conditions for Mom to be herself. I hope you continue to do well. Love you forever."
Baby MyMy - adopted child of designer Do Manh Cuong - won the Hot Kid title. Do Manh Cuong emotionally said: "MyMy was adopted by Cuong when she was three days old, now she is four and a half years old. From a little girl who lacked the love of her biological parents, she now has the love of her father and many mothers across the country. She is very young now, and does not understand the meaning of the award. But Cuong believes this is a beautiful memory for her. When she grows up, she will thank life for giving her this wonderful thing."

Ho Ngoc Ha's Love Songs is an inspirational art project. She has been persistently producing the music program since 2016. The singer said: "Last year was an extremely difficult year.

She said the award is a motivation to work more actively in 2024.
Pharmacist Tien won the Producer of the Year award. He emotionally said: "The award made Tien realize that when you wholeheartedly build dreams for others, people will help you achieve dreams that you cannot achieve alone."
Before that, opening the program, journalist Nhieu Huy - head of the organizing committee - gave a speech summarizing the activities of the entertainment and arts industry over the past year. 2023 is not an easy year because of the economic and social fluctuations. However, a paradox has occurred in the entertainment market, in which artistic activities are very vibrant, many new milestones have been set.
Earlier this year, the movie "The Lady's House" by director Tran Thanh set a record for Vietnamese box office revenue with over 480 billion VND, followed by a series of hundred-billion-VND films. In the fashion sector, the head of the organizing committee mentioned the appeal of The New Mentor - a reality show about models created and produced entirely by a Vietnamese team. Each episode attracted millions of views on various platforms. Designer Cong Tri reunited with domestic audiences with an eye-catching collection after many years of conquering the international market. Designer Do Manh Cuong also brought his "brainchild" to New York Fashion Week, USA.
The show "Beautiful Sister Riding the Wind, Breaking the Waves" - a reality music show with the participation of 30 female artists - has caused a "fever" on all platforms. They not only show off their expertise, but also show the audience their efforts in practicing in aspects that are not their forte. The series of confidences and shares gradually reveal the daily lives of artists behind the spotlight, full of hurt, sacrifice and effort to both maintain their image in the public eye and ensure peace behind closed doors.
Many new joys have come to light this past year. The head of the gala organizing committee mentioned the new bride Thanh Hang - seven days before the wedding, she was still diligently training and rehearsing for the contestants and was still radiant on the happy day. Showbiz mothers, whether giving birth for the first time or several times, quickly regained their shape and returned to work. Meanwhile, their "little angels" conquered the media and attracted the affection of fans no less than their parents.
"The joys and milestones I just mentioned are thanks to the stars realizing their value and responsibility to bring moments of relaxation and healing to the public, helping them to escape the pressures of life. To do so, the artists themselves must be full of determination and make efforts to remove all barriers and difficulties from the outside," Mr. Nhieu Huy emphasized. That is also the inspiration for the organizing committee to build the theme Unleashing for this year's awards, in order to continue to recognize artists who are loved by the public and have made outstanding contributions to the arts in the past year.
This year's categories set a record with nearly one million votes from readers of the Star newspaper. "This number not only speaks to the appeal of the award, but also partly shows that the creative efforts of artists are not forgotten by the public," said the head of the organizing committee of the Star of the Year 2023.
Not just a simple awards ceremony, the program brings a colorful music party of famous artists. MONO sings Em xinh composed by you and Onionn, stirring up the atmosphere from the opening minutes. Thu Phuong sings a mash-up of Xin loi, Lan cuoi (two compositions by Vu Dinh Trong Thang) with the dance troupe. Phuong My Chi sings and dances to the hit Vu tru co anh (composed by DTAP). Ho Ngoc Ha brings a performance that is both profound and explosive when playing and singing Co don tren soco. Uyen Linh, Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc, Quynh Nga, Trang Phap, Diep Lam Anh recreate Chi nga em nang - the song that caused a fever at the show Dap gio in December 2023.
The performances were all newly arranged and staged with many eye-catching sound and lighting effects. The gala stage was invested in scale, staged with many lights and screens. Director Tran Thanh Trung said that he and his crew aimed to make a new, grand program but still had to be emotional and touching. MC Quang Bao and Miss Ngoc Chau led fluently, creating opportunities for artists and guests to shine at the right time.
Star of the Year 2023, starting from December 1, 2023, has a total of 11 award categories in two groups: Art and Entertainment. Of which, the Entertainment group has 20 nominations divided equally into four categories: Beauty of the Year, Couple of the Year, Hot Mom and Hot Kid. The Art category will have three Phenomenon of the Year awards, awarded to three art products in the fields of Music, Film, and Fashion. The organizers also awarded three Inspirational Factor awards, honoring impressive art projects and characters, creating attraction and spread in the art and entertainment community, thereby positively inspiring many people to pursue their dreams. These categories are 100% evaluated by the professional council.
The Gala Night welcomed about 300 artist guests on the red carpet, at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) at 799 Nguyen Van Linh, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City.
This year, the program chose the theme Unleashing , honoring artists who are constantly exploring, developing, and demonstrating their talents, contributing to the innovation of the entertainment industry.
