The journey of a multi-talented and courageous icon

Born with the name Nguyen Ngoc Hieu, but the world knows her as Nguyen Huong Giang (born in 1991) - one of the most talented and influential artists in Vietnamese showbiz. Overcoming barriers to live true to herself, Huong Giang is not only a singer, actress, or model but also a symbol of extraordinary courage and determination.

From "boy" Nguyen Ngoc Hieu to "girl" Huong Giang Idol

Huong Giang’s journey is an inspiring one. Born in Hanoi, she graduated from Hanoi College of Arts with a passion for music. However, before she could pursue her passion, she had to face the biggest decision of her life: finding herself. In 2011, with extraordinary courage, Huong Giang went to Thailand to undergo gender reassignment surgery. This was not only a change in her appearance, but also a turning point that helped her live as her true self.

After returning to Vietnam, the name Huong Giang was first widely known to the public when she participated in the Vietnam Idol 2012 contest. With her powerful voice, charming performance style and especially her courage in publicly revealing her transgender story on television, Huong Giang created a strong wave. Although she stopped in the Top 4, her image has become a symbol of bravery and the desire to overcome prejudice. The journey at Vietnam Idol became a solid "launching pad", helping her officially step into the path of art.

The journey to conquer the pinnacle of art

After Vietnam Idol, Huong Giang has continued to strive to prove herself. She has spent a lot of time investing in music. Although the beginning was difficult, with seriousness and dedication, she has gradually built a successful singing career. Her first album Thuy Ngan, released in 2013, named after a chemical element with the same symbol as her initials (HG), is an affirmation of her professionalism and seriousness in the music industry.

However, Huong Giang's career only really exploded in 2018 when she was crowned Miss International Queen . This victory was not only a personal success but also put Vietnamese beauty on the world beauty map. The moment Huong Giang wore the crown became a symbol of beauty and confidence, strongly inspiring the LGBTQ community and millions of fans.

From a singer, Huong Giang has become a multi-talented entertainer. She not only has a series of million-view hits such as "Anh dang o dau day anh", "Em hoi mat voi ban than anh", but has also expanded into many other fields. In the acting field, she produced and starred in the movie "Sac dep lie", a film about the life of a transgender person.

In the competitive world of showbiz, Huong Giang has gone beyond the framework of a normal artist to become a "reality TV queen" with diverse roles, from host, judge to producer.

She not only leads but also becomes an emotional bridge, helping the audience sympathize with each character's story. It is her sincerity and subtlety in behavior that has helped her conquer millions of viewers, making "Who is that person" one of the most favorite dating programs.

Not only stopping at the position of host, Huong Giang also proved her mettle and vision as an experienced producer and judge. She has created and accompanied many prestigious beauty pageants and programs. As a producer, she "helmed" Miss International Queen Vietnam, where she helped find and train the next generation of transgender beauty queens. This is not only a beauty pageant but also a professional playground, raising the status and value of the LGBTQ community in Vietnam.

With her sharpness and extensive experience, she continues to take on the role of coach in reality TV shows such as The Next Gentleman and The New Mentor. In these shows, Huong Giang demonstrates her sharpness, decisiveness, imparting practical experiences and helping contestants develop comprehensively, from professional skills to personal style. Most recently, her appearance as a judge in top beauty contests such as Miss Universe Vietnam and Miss Vietnam further affirms her position in the entertainment industry. Her presence is not only a testament to diversity but also brings a modern perspective on beauty and confidence.

Personal mark and international vision

Throughout her artistic career, Huong Giang has always known how to renew herself and constantly improve. From a girl with a "rough" beauty, she has completely "transformed", possessing a delicate face, sharp features and an increasingly attractive demeanor. Her fashion style is also highly appreciated, always neat, luxurious and full of personality. The ability to transform diversely, sometimes elegant, sometimes personality or sexy, has helped her always stand out and attract attention.

A solid media platform with a large fan base and more than 4 million followers on Instagram has helped Huong Giang become one of the most influential artists on social networks.
