MU runner-up was harmed in the MUVN semi-finals, Ky Duyen regained her form, sure of top 2 spot?

On the evening of September 11, the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 Semi-Finals officially took place at Phu Tho Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City. In addition to 29 contestants, the show also featured a panel of quality judges.

The jury includes: the duo of Producer Huong Giang - Pharmacist Tien, Creative Director Ha Do, CEO Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 Nguyen Thi Thuy Nga, Supermodel Thanh Hang and especially 1st Runner-up Miss Universe 2023 Anntonia Porsild.

However, the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 Organizing Committee continues to be embroiled in controversy when repeatedly calling the Thai beauty the wrong title. Specifically, when the MC invited Anntonia Porsild to speak as a judge in the Semi-final night of the contest, instead of calling her Miss Universe 2023, she read it as Miss Universe Vietnam 2023 1st Runner-up.

This unfortunate mistake caused much anger among viewers because previously, the third episode of Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 also incorrectly stated her title. When the reigning Miss Bui Quynh Hoa introduced the special guest participating in the 2024 season, Anntonia Porsild, the title information section displayed the title "1st Runner Up Miss Universe Vietnam 2023".

Although the mistake was small, the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 Organizing Committee received many mixed comments. The audience thought that the producer was too careless in the censorship process as well as did not take international guests seriously.

This information, after spreading to Thailand - Anntonia Porsild's homeland, caused even more outrage. Thai beauty fans left comments on forums all over the forum saying that the program's editorial board was too careless: "Vietnam posted the program's video and Anntonia became the 1st runner-up of Miss Universe Vietnam?", What's going on? Was Anntonia demoted or was it just a mistake"...

Putting aside the controversy over the organization, the semi-final night brought the audience two eye-catching performances.

After two rounds of competition, the organizers officially announced the five contestants with the most impressive swimsuit performances. As expected, prominent faces from the beginning of the competition such as Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen, Quach Tapiau Mai Ly, Paris Bao Nhi, Phi Phuong Anh and Doan Thi Thu Ha were on this list.

The top 5 contestants with the best evening gown performances in the semi-finals of Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 are: Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen, Vu Thuy Quynh, Quach Tapiau Maily, Paris Bao Nhi and Nguyen Quynh Anh.

In addition, the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 Organizing Committee attracted attention with the announcement of the crown worth 24 million VND named "Million Dollar Mission". The author of the crown surprised everyone when he was only 13 years old, his name is Hoang Xuan Thuyen. According to the author, the details in the crown were combined with Vietnamese cultural symbols such as storks, rice plants, bamboo trees, rice grains...

At the semi-final night, the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 Organizing Committee also announced that they would only choose the final top 3 (including 1 beauty queen and 2 runners-up), instead of choosing the top 5 (including 1 beauty queen and 4 runners-up) as before.

Also during the competition night, the Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 organizing committee shared the difficulties of people affected by storm No. 3 (Yagi).

Pharmacist Tien donated 300 million VND, Huong Giang donated 100 million VND, Thanh Hang donated 100 million VND, Bui Quynh Hoa donated 50 million VND, Phi Phuong Anh donated 50 million VND, Ky Duyen donated 50 million VND, Quach Tapiau Maily donated 20 million VND, and North Korea donated 20 million VND...
