At the press conference on the morning of August 13, poet - journalist Huu Viet - Head of the jury of Miss World Vietnam 2022 - said the reason why Huynh Nguyen Mai Phuong, 23 years old, from Dong Nai, 1.7 m tall, body measurements 82-63-92 cm, surpassed Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc - 21 years old, 1.85 m tall, measurements 87-63-98 cm, from Can Tho , currently a student of the Faculty of Business Administration, International University (VNU-HCMC), was chosen to be crowned.

The head of the jury said: "It is difficult to compare because the two beauties Mai Phuong and Bao Ngoc are both excellent. But the contest only has one crown. I can confirm that Mai Phuong was chosen by the majority of the judges as the beauty queen. The contest took place over about 5 months, the judges had contact with the contestants for a long time, observed them participating in activities and many sub-competitions. Bao Ngoc and Mai Phuong competed in Miss Vietnam 2020, have experience and stage presence. That is the factor for us to choose them for the top 2. Mai Phuong has many other soft skills and talents. However, when I heard the answers of Bao Ngoc and Mai Phuong in the final round, at that time I just wished there were 2 beauty queen crowns".

What did Ms. Pham Kim Dung say about the rumor of pampering her "homegrown artist" Mai Phuong?

Before the information that Mai Phuong was favored because she was an old face, having accompanied the organizing committee after Miss Vietnam 2020, Ms. Pham Kim Dung - Head of the Organizing Committee and President of Miss World Vietnam - affirmed that there was no priority for any individual.

"We did not sign any management contract with Mai Phuong before. All of her activities are voluntary and come from the heart. Not only Mai Phuong comes to cook for charity, but many other beauty queens and runners-up, when you come, when you leave, how many sessions you participate in, I also do not know. For me, not choosing based on the word closeness is unreasonable. The success of a competition is not only about the performances that receive the satisfaction of the sponsors, but the Top 3 chosen must be worthy. If there is no worthy choice, approved by the public, we will cause ourselves to collapse. We will not betray that criterion for any reason.

For the Miss World Vietnam contest to be prestigious, it must choose worthy people to last long in the hearts of the audience. The organizers cannot choose people without qualities to destroy a contest with a large and serious investment.

Regarding the final result, we have invited judges so we will believe in the council's decision and not interfere too much. The selection of the beauty queen must also receive the public's approval. I believe that in the upcoming journey, Mai Phuong will prove herself more" - said the Head of the Organizing Committee.

Regarding the selection of Misses, Ms. Pham Kim Dung said that the audience can observe the contestants to a certain extent, but the organizers and judges observe with all their hearts, minds and energy. Regarding the issue of height, she affirmed that height is not the ultimate deciding factor of a Miss.

“Miss World 2019 is only 1m65, 1m66 tall. She sings very well and has a unique beauty. Height is not the ultimate deciding factor for a beauty queen. This is a responsible and worthy decision. I hope that in the future everyone will follow and support Mai Phuong” - Chairman of Sen Vang said.

“When we participated in the competition, we woke up at the same time, took the same car, followed the same pattern, no one was favored over anyone else. I was very proud of my efforts.

I know what I lack, I try to make up for it so that my victory is convincing. The coronation milestone is just the opening door, because behind that coronation door is a very long journey... Every title we achieve is thanks to the efforts and hard work of each person. I am proud of my efforts and hope everyone has a fair view" - Miss Mai Phuong confided.

Mai Phuong believes that her height of 1.7 m is not an obstacle. "From the preliminary round, I set a goal and tried to achieve the best results," said the new beauty queen. She shared more about her efforts and determination and always put herself in the mindset of someone ready to compete internationally with the upcoming Miss World 2022 contest.

First runner-up Bao Ngoc said she felt a little regretful about not having the opportunity to compete in Miss World. However, for Bao Ngoc, the new title will take her on a new journey.

"I don't think I'm lacking anything to not be crowned. The title of First Runner-up at this time is probably suitable for me. I believe in the judges' choices and perspectives. I have time to improve and pursue the upcoming journey. Who knows, maybe I'll have the opportunity to participate in another arena," the runner-up shared.
