On the afternoon of June 25th, Mai Phuong Thuy posted a screenshot of a netizen's comment regarding her title as Miss Vietnam. The comment stated, "Without the title of Miss Vietnam, I don't know if my life would be as successful and wealthy as it is now. Fame creates opportunities; otherwise, you'd be just like everyone else. Achieving success is difficult or impossible."
The beauty queen stated: "Without a title, you start from scratch. If you fail the entrance exam, you retake it. If you fail 9 times, you retake it 10 times. As long as you persevere, I don't believe that working like a normal person is that difficult. I also got into the Foreign Trade University, and I've gone through the hardships of studying, so I'm not afraid of difficulties. The skills needed to be a beauty queen and work in finance are completely different. I intended to give it all up to work in a bank in 2008, when I was 20 years old. But at that time, too many community projects wanted me to participate. By 2010-2012, the beauty queens weren't fully mature yet because they had just been crowned, so it took me a long time to withdraw. The environment of being a beauty queen doesn't offer many opportunities to fully develop your skills."

"There aren't many opportunities in the beauty pageant world where I can fully develop my skills," Mai Phuong Thuy shared. |
Mai Phuong Thuy hopes netizens will stop judging or doubting her. "I'm so tired of being labeled as an entertainer even though I've already started working professionally, even though that's not true," the beauty queen emphasized.
Mai Phương Thúy was born in 1988 in Hanoi and was crowned Miss Vietnam in 2006 at the young age of 18. With a height of 1.8 meters and a delicate face, she quickly became one of the most prominent beauty queens. In the same year she won, she participated in Miss World and reached the top 17, a rather impressive achievement for a Vietnamese contestant at that time.
After her term as Miss Vietnam ended, Mai Phuong Thuy was very active in the entertainment industry as a model, advertising face, and guest at many events. She also served as a judge in several domestic beauty pageants. Throughout her career, the beauty queen was known for her glamorous style and straightforward personality, often sparking discussions on social media.
In recent years, Mai Phuong Thuy has gradually withdrawn from entertainment activities to focus on business and financial investment, especially in the stock market.
