From the beautiful love story of Miss H'Hen Nie and the 8x photographer, Dan Viet reporter had a conversation with CEO Pham Duy Khanh - "The long-legged boss" to expand public opinion about the fact that many people assume that the relationship between "Miss - Tycoon" is appropriate, an inevitable part of life...
With nearly 20 years of experience working in the field of beauty training, Mr. Pham Duy Khanh (Kenbi Khanh Pham) is affectionately called by the beauty-loving community: "The long-legged boss", "Miss training expert" when contributing to building and developing the image of many famous Misses and Kings such as: Lai Huong Thao - Miss Sports Vietnam 2012; Ly Kim Thao - Miss Tourism Vietnam Global 2021; Jay Quan - Asia Model Awards 2015; Mai Tuan Anh - Champion of Vietnam Star 2014 - Gold Prize of Vietnam Supermodel 2015; Chung Huyen Thanh - Runner-up of The Face Viet Nam 2016; Miss Bui Quynh Hoa - Gold Prize of Vietnam Supermodel 2018...

"There is supply and demand, beauty queens also have their own feelings..."
As a beauty queen training expert and CEO of a company in Vietnam that simultaneously holds the copyrights of the most prestigious beauty pageants in the world today, what do you think about the recent "Beauty Queen - Tycoon" issue that has been widely discussed on beauty forums and social networks?
- The story of beauty queens and tycoons is not new to this era but has been going on for decades. In today's era, that is normal to me because in life, where there is "supply" there is "demand".
Joy, anger, love, and hate happen not only in showbiz but in any profession or in life every day. I think we should gradually adapt to that.
According to you, is the fact that Miss H'Hen Nie attracted attention when she publicly announced her secret 7-year love affair and registered her marriage with a photographer a "rare, strange" case in Vietnamese showbiz? Can you estimate what percentage of Misses and Runners-up marry rich men?
- Misses are also human, they also have their own emotions and choices.
The important thing is that it depends on each person's life needs, so I don't see anything to worry about regarding their love life.
"The long-legged boss": Miss, just love according to your heart
Although we know that love is a personal choice of each person. However, many people have left negative comments, even mocking beauty queens and runner-ups who have rich boyfriends/husbands as "materialistic", "reckless for money"; while others say: "Rich men - beauty queens are worthy", "like wind meets like cloud". Which opinion do you agree with?
- Of course! Who doesn't like money, rich and powerful men. If I were a girl, I would also like to love a rich man... I think when she becomes a beauty queen, she has the right to choose a love that is worthy of her.
As a successful organizer of beauty contests, do you feel upset or sad when people say: "The organizers of beauty contests are there to find wives for rich men"; "The ultimate destination of beauty queens is to marry rich men?"…?
"If I were a girl, I would also love to date a rich man," CEO Pham Duy Khanh shared with Dan Viet. (Photo: NVCC)
- For me, that is very normal. In fact, I would say it is lucky, because not everyone has the opportunity to work with a tycoon...
I think that is the way to have enough money to participate in charity and social activities, but that is also an essential part of life. And the ultimate goal is happiness, and how happy is the choice of each person.
When you have many "pets" who are beauty queens and kings under your company's management. Are you worried or "wary" that rich tycoons will approach or even "seduce" them, causing a stir?
- To me, everything that happens in life has a reason, what's important is how we accept and deal with it. Instead of worrying and being cautious, why don't we face it?
As a beauty queen training expert, do you often share and give advice to beauty queens about their careers, especially love affairs, so that they don't stumble?
- Yes, I have given you advice. But in the end, the choice and decision are still yours.
Having been active in Vietnamese showbiz for nearly 20 years, have there been any love scandals between "Beauty Queens - Tycoons" that made you have to intervene, or feel most regretful for them?
- I don't really care! Because I think: I haven't taken care of my own family yet, I don't have time to care about society. I only care about making money to not only take care of my own life and my family's but also to help those in need who need me.
If the "long-legged boss" were to give a message to the beauty queens and runner-ups in showbiz when choosing a boyfriend/husband, what would he advise them to pay most attention to?
- I tell you: "Just love according to your heart, rich or poor, as long as you like it."
Thanks for sharing the information!
