"Mrs. 9" Phuong Phuong: Comedian of Cui Corn, transgender beauty won miss

Tiktoker, actress Mrs. 9 Phuong is a name that has been extremely loved by the public on social networks. Few people know, Fang Fang was also a beauty queen, when she crowned the contest for transgender people.

Talking about his life, Fang said he was soon suspicious. At first, Fang thought that she was influenced by being surrounded by her sisters, so her personality was lighter. By grade 11, the student actively participated in many group activities and began to turn his eyes to other boys but still thought he wanted close friends rather than thinking that he was different.

Once, Phuong participated in a fashion show using recycled items. Looking at herself differently in makeup and a flowing dress that was praised by many people, Phuong felt happy. After that, Phuong participated in a small "miss" contest at work. The knack of fake girls, wanting the contest to be more unique, Fang boldly went to the contest, winning the runner-up prize. The nickname "Miss Phuong Phuong" has been associated with him ever since. Gradually, Phuong realizes that he is attracted to people of the same sex and tries to find out about him.

Huynh Minh Thao, an expert on Vietnam's LGBT rights advocacy, said gay men are those who identify as men and are attracted to people of the same sex. Whether they appear to be masculine or female has nothing to do with their sexual tendencies. Therefore, if based on external factors such as fashion style, gestures, expressions ... To decide who a person is would not be right. A gay man can dress up as a woman for work reasons or simply as a hobby.

In October 2015, Phuong fake girl participated in the big comedy contest on television, winning a prize of 20 million VND. The name Tran Vu Phuong became more famous in the community. Since then, everyone and his family have come to understand more about Phuong's person and personality, accepting the differences in him.

"Phuong wants to become a voice in the family, influential in society, especially the LGBT community. In addition, Phuong also wants to be financially independent, raise herself so that her family can feel secure. At that time, it didn't matter who I was," Fang confessed.

Phuong said that LGBT life is still unfamiliar to the community in general, so doing anything is easier to notice than usual. When they fall in love, they are also judged whether it is sincere love, and the family is always worried about the child falling into evils and not having a caregiver in old age. Therefore, Fang chose to "follow nature".

Every day, Phuong still has short hair and jeans to work, whenever needed, she can still change her appearance to be convenient for work.

What is different, but also fortunate, is that Phuong's childhood was not too preoccupied with stigma. "Maybe it's because I didn't recognize myself as a child, so I chose to ignore my ears to live. But if I knew, Fang would have behaved the same way," Fang laughed.

She plans to adopt a child when she can afford it, fearing that her child will be stigmatized or hurt. Since coming out, Phuong's life has become more open and interesting, especially her daily makeup job. Phuong said, this job requires meticulousness and care for each operation. "When I'm a makeup artist, I'm more perfectionist, I'm more empathetic, my emotions are a lot higher." Fang said.

In July 2020, Phuong participated in the Miss Beauty Queen contest and received two more sub-awards, Talented Beauty and Inspirational Beauty. This is a big competition for the LGBT community, attracting hundreds of contestants each year. On the day of her coronation, Phuong was lucky to have her family come to see and support.

Phuong used to have plastic surgery on her face, padded her chin to make her face more beautiful, but did not intend to be transgender, but only wanted to be a girl at some point. "Someone called Ms. Phuong, who called Mr. Fang but I didn't care much. As long as they respect these differences, it doesn't matter how they address them," Phuong said.

In recent years, Phuong Phuong has also attracted attention when appearing in a series of short comedy series of the Cui Corn team. The clips with the appearance of this transgender beauty, all reached millions of views on platforms. Having a natural, rustic acting talent, although not through school, Fang Phuong still takes on the full role. The name Mrs. 9 Phuong has also since been associated with her.

In order to achieve her current beauty, Phuong Phuong was supported by the Change Life program to Korea for plastic surgery in 2014, for 3 months, with a budget of 50,000 USD. After the visits, the doctors offered Phuong a surgical procedure. First, Phuong underwent jaw surgery, chin splicing and rhinoplasty, then treated the sagging forehead area, regenerating dark skin and acne... Phuong's surgery is applied with world-leading technologies, so his shaping will not change over time.

Speaking after the show, the transgender beauty said: "After the show, I became more confident. I communicate a lot and have more relationships with people in my life. As a result, opportunities in my work also come more. Currently, I am working steadily with the make-up profession that I love.
