Huong Giang has just announced that she has reached the top 1 of the Miss Universe rankings, Thailand reappears

On the evening of September 24, the Miss Universe Vietnam organizing committee announced Miss International Queen 2018 Huong Giang as the Vietnamese contestant participating in the 74th Miss Universe, taking place in Thailand in November.

The agency said the 34-year-old beauty was chosen by handpick, meaning she was specially appointed, without going through a selection contest. The decision was based on the following criteria: beauty, intelligence, stage presence and ability to inspire.

"Huong Giang is a living testament to the power of determination and talent in many roles: singer, actress, model, MC, judge, producer. Never stopping to challenge herself, she shines with a strong inner strength, creativity and pride, true to the image of a modern, strong Vietnamese woman," the Miss Universe Vietnam team praised. In addition, this unit hopes that the "spiritual land" of Thailand - where H'Hen Nie's achievement of being in the top 5 of Miss Universe 2018 was marked - will bring luck to the Vietnamese candidate.

As soon as it was confirmed, this information immediately spread widely. A series of famous people such as singers Chi Pu, Hoa Minzy, Lam Khanh Chi, models Minh Tu, Ngoc Quyen, Miss Bao Ngoc, runner-up Quynh Chau, designer Do Manh Cuong, Le Thanh Hoa... all expressed their surprise. Miss Ky Duyen, Le Hoang Phuong, Bui Quynh Hoa, runner-up Huong Ly, king Tuan Ngoc... shared the information and affirmed their support for their seniors in the international beauty arena.

In addition, a large audience also put their faith in Huong Giang's bravery. "Fully support. She has beauty, talent and a very quick mind. What she does for the LGBTQ community in our country is also very inspiring and impressive"; "Suddenly, I see Vietnamese contestants standing out more than ever"; "Huong Giang is smart, knows what the media wants. A ticket to hope to be in the top"; "Always well-rounded, and no one can match her fighting spirit. Top 5 is within reach"; "The number of followers on social networks overwhelms this year's contestants. The media effect is unquestionable"... some Facebook accounts commented.

On the other hand, many opinions expressed concerns about choosing Huong Giang to participate in the world's largest beauty pageant: "Both age and gender are barriers"; "She is good but I don't understand how she can compete in Miss Universe"; "Huong Giang is really not qualified enough"...

Despite the controversy, the Vietnamese representative has attracted strong attention in the international arena.

According to statistics, Huong Giang's Instagram account is currently leading in the number of followers with 4.8 million. This achievement far surpasses many other competitors such as Bangladesh (1.8 million), Thailand (1.2 million), Palestine (1.2 million) or Chile (1 million).

This surprised many viewers because in the history of Miss Universe, not many contestants have such an impressive number of followers. If in the past, representatives from the Philippines, Thailand or Venezuela were often the names that dominated the media attraction, this year, Huong Giang emerged as the leading face.

The attention given to Huong Giang comes not only from her coronation as Miss International Queen 2018, but also from her wide influence over many years in the entertainment industry.

It can be said that leading the number of Instagram followers is a clear proof of Huong Giang's appeal at Miss Universe 2025 . However, to turn media advantages into actual achievements, the Vietnamese representative needs to prove her stage presence, ability to respond and meaningful messages.
