Ky Duyen has not graduated from university yet, Miss Universe Vietnam Organizing Committee made a "blunt" statement

Surrounding the noise about the new Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 - Ky Duyen not graduating from Foreign Trade University, the head of the contest's Organizing Committee - Ms. Thuy Nga gave frank responses to the media.

After 10 years of winning the Miss Vietnam 2014 contest, Ky Duyen continued to win Miss Universe Vietnam 2024. The performance of the beauty born in 1996 in the Final night was recognized by many audiences. However, recently, Ky Duyen was caught up in a scandal of not graduating from Hanoi Foreign Trade University.

The news that Ky Duyen had not graduated from university first surfaced in July, when she registered for Miss Universe Vietnam. At that time, there were many rumors that after being crowned Miss Vietnam 2014, Ky Duyen did not continue her regular studies in Foreign Economics. She switched to a part-time program but did not complete it.

As of the afternoon of September 19, Hanoi Foreign Trade University confirmed that student Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen has not yet graduated from university at the school. Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen has just been crowned Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 and is preparing to compete in the Miss Universe contest held in Mexico, causing a stir among beauty fans on social media.

Accordingly, Ms. Thuy Nga - Head of the Organizing Committee (OC), Board of Judges (BGK) of Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 shared directly with the media about this. Specifically, she shared: "I first met Ky Duyen 8 years ago, also had some discussions and gave her some advice about work, but after that everyone was busy so we only met occasionally at events. This time when Ky Duyen returned to the Miss Universe Vietnam contest, I felt that she had matured a lot. She is mature in her speech, in her style, in her lifestyle and especially a very intelligent and individualistic girl. I think Duyen will gradually conquer what she wants".

"We have a very good grasp of each contestant's background and we also comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism such as contestants must be 18 years of age or older and have a high school diploma. I see many people set their own standards for beauty queens that they must have a university degree and be good at English. While as I just shared above, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism clearly stipulates that contestants must be 18 years of age or older and have a high school diploma.

It's okay for a beauty to graduate from university, but not graduating from university doesn't mean they're not good or can't develop. There are many people out there who didn't graduate from university but are still good. There are many examples in the world and in Vietnam, a typical example is Mr. Dang Le Nguyen Vu who didn't graduate but still built a coffee empire. We shouldn't impose like that," the head of the Miss Universe Vietnam Organizing Committee shared.

Ms. Thuy Nga emphasized: "As someone who grew up in a family that highly values education, I always pay attention to encouraging employees and candidates to focus on improving their knowledge when possible. However, in this era, we can improve our knowledge through many channels such as reading and learning online, through experiences in life, at work... I do not encourage students not to study, on the contrary, students who have worked with me can confirm that I always encourage them to study and improve their knowledge as much as possible.

However, I think when someone is chosen as a beauty queen, the most important thing is what she will do for the community, for society. What she does will inspire people, for young people to join hands to build a better society, a better world. That is the main message of the beauty pageant.

At Miss Vietnam 2014, Ky Duyen was only 18 years old and was a first-year student of the Foreign Economic Relations Faculty of the Foreign Trade University. In the entrance exam that year, Ky Duyen chose the D03 group of 3 subjects: Math, Literature and French to register for admission. The beauty born in 1996 achieved scores of 7, 7 and 8.5 respectively. After wearing the prestigious crown, Miss Ky Duyen visited her high school and university and showed off her French speaking skills.

Ky Duyen has not yet entered the competition but is already exhausted and has fallen rapidly in rank at Miss Universe 2024. Phúc Sen15:13:16 19/10/2024Miss Ky Duyen is the center of attention for beauty fans, as the day of departure to Mexico to represent Vietnam in the Miss Universe 2024 contest is approaching. Currently, all preparations seem to be complete, however, Ky Duyen is disappointing.
