Why did Thuy Lieu become hot?

Having been in operation for many years, Vinh Sang Tourist Area (Vinh Long) has recently become "famous" thanks to a charming tour guide named "Thuy Lieu".

When welcoming any group of guests, the male tour guide always shows an impressive greeting, from his eyes, gestures, and voice, he is always the center of attention.

Accompanied by branded sayings such as "Hello, my family", "Hello everyone, my name is Thuy Lieu - the second most beautiful girl on this island" or "I would like to give you Lieu's first kiss of the day"... Clips about this character always attract hundreds of thousands, even millions of views. He is considered by many to be the "hottest male tour guide in the West".

Becoming a "hot" keyword searched on social networks, Thuy Lieu said that she was extremely happy to receive much love from the community. However, recently Thuy Lieu is "overloaded" because there are many groups of visitors during the day. "Before, there were only many visitors on weekends, but now it's every day. The company arranged for me to lead one tour/day, the time to serve the guests sometimes more than half a day, so many groups of guests came at the same time, I only had time to take pictures or interact for a few minutes and then left. I'm afraid the guests will be sad and I'm very sorry for this," Thuy Lieu expressed her regret for not being able to welcome the guests properly.

Having heard of "Thuy Lieu", Ms. Le Thi Kim Anh (living in Can Tho City) said that more than a week ago she visited Vinh Sang Tourist Area and met the "social network phenomenon" for the first time. "Although she only had time to interact with our group for a few minutes, she left a deep impression. I was delighted by Thuy Lieu's leisurely, curtsy gestures, just like a girl from the West", Ms. Anh said with a smile. Male tourist Chu Chanh said: "During the 2 hours of interaction, our group laughed heartily because of Thuy Lieu's humor and clever way of speaking. Besides her, the other staff of the tourist area are all friendly and hospitable".

Practice your voice from dubbed movies

Thuy Lieu said that when he was in high school, he dreamed of becoming a lawyer or a voice actor. At that time, his teachers and friends praised his fluent speaking ability, so he chose tourism. After graduating from the Vietnamese Studies major at Vinh Long Pedagogical College, the student applied to work at Vinh Sang tourist area for more than 8 years now. His job is to welcome visitors. To make an impression, Thuy Lieu often wears a traditional Vietnamese dress, a straw bag, and wooden clogs. As for his voice, the 9X said he learned it from dubbed movies.

"I often watch movies or comedy skits and then imitate the way they emphasize the tone, pronounce words and even the lines. It can be said that thanks to "words and speech" I earn money. In addition to leading tours, I also work as an MC, dubbing, and recording advertisements...", Thuy Lieu revealed. Being famous through social networks has opened up many job opportunities for the 9X tour guide, but when sharing with Dan Tri reporter, Thuy Lieu affirmed that she will not change jobs. Mr. Huynh The Cuong - Deputy Director of Vinh Sang Tourist Area said that the facility has 4 tour guides serving the groups of visitors, but Thuy Lieu is the employee who makes an impression because of her charming behavior and satisfaction of tourists. "Previously, the number of visitors on weekends was about 5-6 groups/day, but now it has increased to 7-8 groups. Thanks to Thuy Lieu's popularity, which helps the resort increase revenue, we have increased her benefits and treatment and divided the time for our staff to welcome guests attentively," Mr. Cuong added.
