MIQ Semi-Finals: America is placed in the top 12, Ha Tam Nhu confidently "shoots" English

On the afternoon of September 18, the semi-final night of Miss International Queen 2025 took place in Thailand, gathering 23 transgender contestants from all over the world. Vietnam's representative - Ha Tam Nhu - had an impressive performance, affirming her careful preparation and stage presence.

In the bikini competition, Tam Nhu confidently strode with decisive and attractive catwalks. Few people know that before coming to the competition, she had received formal training at the modeling center of supermodel Lukkade, a famous star of the Thai fashion industry. Thanks to that, Tam Nhu's style and performance skills became sharper, helping her make a strong impression on international audiences.

In the evening gown competition, Tam Nhu chose a bright yellow dress with a high slit, showing off her long legs and highlighting her elegant beauty. In particular, she skillfully used the technique of opening the skirt, turning each movement into an explosive stage moment. The Thai audience gave a lot of applause for the energetic performance of the Vietnamese representative.

The presentation is an opportunity for contestants to express their thinking, life perspectives and language skills. Tam Nhu scored points thanks to her fluent English and confidence in sharing her views on true beauty.

She said: "For me, true beauty is not just how we look, it's about having purpose, and making a positive difference. I'm the only female fitness coach contestant. My journey has taught me to be resilient, stronger and love myself. Everyday, I'm honored to see their strength, and stop comparing ourselves to others, and take care of their health. And my story is a testament, that true beauty comes from purpose, I just did and you can do..."

Rough translation: "For Tam Nhu, true beauty does not lie in appearance, but in the meaning of life and the way we create positive values. Here, only Nhu is a female fitness trainer. Nhu's journey has taught her that she needs to be strong, steadfast and love herself more. Every day, Nhu is happy to witness people's strength, helping them stop comparing themselves and know how to take care of their health. Nhu's story is a clear proof that true beauty comes from the meaning of life. Nhu has done it and everyone can do it too."

In particular, in the final sentence, she cleverly used Thai as a word of gratitude and to score points with the host country's audience.

However, Tam Nhu's speech also caused some controversy. Some Thai fans said that she "copied" the message that a former Miss Universe Thailand used. In response to this reaction, the Vietnamese fan community quickly spoke up to defend her, affirming that Tam Nhu was inspired by Miss H'Hen Nie - who left her mark with a positive and inspirational message.

Despite her excellent performance, Ha Tam Nhu did not win any additional awards in the semi-final night. The only person who was given a special pass to go straight to the top 12 finalists was the American representative.

However, this result does not reduce the faith of the home audience in Tam Nhu, because her stable performance and spreading positive energy have helped her become one of the outstanding faces.

Previously, in the talent competition, Ha Tam Nhu had excellently won the second runner-up position. This achievement shows that the Vietnamese representative is gradually getting closer to the prestigious crown. According to Tuoi Tre, this year's theme of the contest is "Beyond Beauty, Open Possibilities", to honor the diversity, bravery and human values of the transgender community.
