Transgender runner-up Tuong San burst into tears when talking about having to pay off her debt when she returned home, having to borrow m.oney from many places to take part in competitions.

Causing a stir when representing Vietnam in the Miss International Queen 2024 contest, the beauty born in 2005 - Nguyen Tuong San made beauty fans burst into tears with her performances. She finished as 2nd runner-up.

Recently, beauty Nguyen Tuong San, representing Vietnam, won the title of 2nd runner-up at Miss International Queen 2024 in Thailand. After the contest, the beauty said she would use the prize m.oney to pay off her debt due to her difficult economic situation.

It is known that her bonus after winning the title of Miss International 2nd Runner-up is 100,000 Thai baht (equivalent to 73 million VND). With this amount of m.oney, Tuong San hopes to be able to pay off her debt. Many fans were moved when hearing about Tuong San's situation.

Previously, this model revealed that she did not receive support from her family in her gender transition, so she came to Ho Chi Minh City to live and earn m.oney to fulfill her dream. She used to pick up balls on tennis courts, work at bars, cafes and work as an employee at convenience stores. It was not until 2023 that she had the opportunity to successfully transition.

"I worked 2-3 jobs at the same time to save up to make my dream come true. All the m.oney I used to transition was earned by myself and my family did not support me much in this journey," said Tuong San.

According to Mr. Tran Viet Bao Hoang - CEO of Unicorp, the copyright holder of Miss Universe Vietnam, the investment for H'Hen Nie to compete in Miss Universe 2018 cost billions of VND. Each year, this number will increase over time. This shows that in order to set foot in the international beauty arena with the most perfect version, runner-up Tuong San and her team also had to invest a lot of m.oney to perfect skills such as speaking Thai, costumes, makeup, and interview training, leading to Tuong San incurring debt in her journey to conquer her dream.

Nguyen Tuong San is 1m79 tall, with measurements of 83-56-84cm. She was born in 2005, and is from Khanh Hoa. She won the title of 1st Runner-up of Miss International Vietnam 2023, after Dieu Thao. In 2024, this beauty was nominated to represent Vietnam at Miss International Queen 2024. In the contest, Tuong San won a total of 5 subsidiary awards including: Best National Costume, Best Semi-Final Performance, Miss Photogenic, Miss Media, and Most Beautiful S.kin.

Since childhood, Tuong San has felt the difference in herself. Although she has the body of a b.oy, Tuong San likes to play girls' games, loves to wear dresses and high heels. She also has special feelings for people of the same s.ex.

Tuong San spent her childhood with the question: "Who am I?". When she was young, Tuong San looked like a normal b.oy. But when she grew up, she became more graceful and had long hair. She once shared an ID photo that surprised many people because before her gender transition, Tuong San looked very pretty and feminine.

Until the age of 14, when she saw Huong Giang crowned Miss International Transgender 2018, Tuong San had her answer. She loved the contest, felt she was suitable, and wanted to improve herself both in beauty and knowledge. Tuong San decided to change gender because she wanted her life to be meaningful and to fulfill her dream like her senior.

Because she is the eldest grandchild, Tuong San felt a bit of pressure. But after all, she overcame that pressure to be herself, because San's desire to be a g.irl was so great. When she said she wanted to change gender, San's parents did not support her, but did not object either.

Despite many hardships and difficulties, San did not give up. When she turned 18, Tuong San went on her own to fulfill her dream of becoming a g.irl. After only 12 days of transitioning, she registered to participate in the Miss Transgender Vietnam 2022 contest and won the first runner-up prize, and was also selected to represent Vietnam in international competitions.
