While chatting about the contest's activities, Yen Nhi revealed that she asked the Miss Grand International Organizing Committee for permission to delete her video calling for votes in the Miss Popular Vote category.

Miss Popular Vote is a paid voting section, launched by the Miss Grand International organization from October 7 and lasting until the final round on October 18. The winner of this category will have the opportunity to go straight to the top 10.

The representative leading the Miss Popular Vote voting is the Colombian beauty with 27% of the votes. Following are the representatives of Sweden, Tanzania, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Panama, Guatemala, Cuba, Ecuador. Currently, Yen Nhi received 1% of the votes and is not in the group of 10 contestants with the highest number of Miss Popular Vote votes.

The Vietnamese representative explained: “I recorded a video in Vietnamese to call for votes. However, I asked permission to delete that video. I presented to the organizing committee about the storm and flood situation in Vietnam.

On my personal page, I also called on everyone to support overcoming the consequences of the storm in Thai Nguyen . Therefore, I want the organizers to delete my clip calling for votes. I'm fine, don't worry."

Previously, on October 9, Yen Nhi posted a letter to her homeland, expressing concern for the northern provinces of Vietnam that are being heavily affected by storms and floods.

Yen Nhi also announced that she would donate 50 million VND from the prize money from the Miss Grand Vietnam 2025 contest to support flood victims through the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and asked the management company to transfer the money on her behalf because she is abroad.

She wrote on her personal page: “I am in Thailand for the Miss Grand International 2025 journey but my mind is always on Vietnam. I know that calling for votes is an indispensable part of a contestant in the international arena. However, at a time when my homeland is struggling with natural disasters, I believe that all practical priorities should be directed towards our fellow countrymen in the flood-affected areas.”

The 2004-born beauty's posts received thousands of likes and hundreds of comments from netizens. Many viewers sent words of encouragement to Yen Nhi, hoping she would learn from her experience, continue to learn, and maintain her spirit to perform in the next rounds.
