Ky Duyen revealed the reason for being eliminated from the top 12, her smile became a 'meme', fans concluded with a 'self-conscious' sentence?

The Miss Universe 2024 finale in Mexico has just concluded. The Danish beauty - Victoria Kjær Theilvig - was crowned. The Vietnamese representative - Nguyen Cao Ky Duyen - regretfully missed the top 12, stopping at the top 30.

Before Ky Duyen's result at Miss Universe 2024, an audience member commented: "In general, if you smile stiffly, you shouldn't compete." This is not the first time Ky Duyen's smile has been discussed by the audience.

At the time of participating in Miss Universe Vietnam 2024, Ky Duyen was assessed to have good performance skills, creating a strong attraction. However, the smile of Miss Vietnam 2014 was repeatedly commented by the audience as forced, emotionless, and unnatural.

When she was suspected of having her chin shaved, Ky Duyen said that her chin looked longer due to massage and acupressure. Ky Duyen also denied rumors that she had undergone excessive plastic surgery, causing her face to become stiff. According to her, the difference in her appearance was due to her posing style, a result of weight loss. In 2018, Ky Duyen admitted that she had breast augmentation to be more confident at work.

"Why do we have to please other people's ideas about 'beauty' when we are comfortable and confident with what we do and pursue? A girl in a crowd will shine when she is herself," Ky Duyen once shared with the press.

Despite being criticized for her smile, many audiences still showed their support for Ky Duyen at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant. Accordingly, Ky Duyen's entry into the top 30 finalists has somewhat left an impression because previously, Ngoc Chau and Bui Quynh Hoa both "went empty-handed" at Miss Universe 2022 and 2023. In addition, this year's final round has up to 125 contestants, the largest in Miss Universe history with many strong candidates.

Ky Duyen ended her Miss Universe 2024 journey in the top 30, although leaving many regrets, most of the audience thought that this was a sufficient achievement for what the beauty queen showed. Being in the top has great significance for Ky Duyen in particular and the Miss Universe Vietnam organization in general.

Because, more than anyone else, Ky Duyen is the girl who has been under a lot of pressure in her journey to conquer Miss Universe. The reason is that since she was crowned Miss Universe Vietnam in September, the audience has continuously argued about this victory.

Many people commented that she had a lot of private life scandals and her performance during the Miss Universe Vietnam journey was not very impressive. Therefore, her victory in this contest at that time was considered undeserved.

After that, her nomination to participate in Miss Universe 2024 also sparked a lot of debate with the audience. Because many people thought that Ky Duyen's ability was not enough to compete with more than 120 representatives from other countries and territories.

When participating in this contest, the beauty from Vietnam also continuously encountered controversy due to her limited English and poor performance. Before that, the semi-final night took place on November 15 (Vietnam time), Ky Duyen's performance received mixed opinions from domestic audiences. In the swimsuit competition, her unnatural expressions, lackluster smile, and lack of energy in the catwalk made her performance not really convincing.

In the evening gown competition, Ky Duyen appeared in a dress inspired by the zodiac sign Scorpio, but her tension and "straining" made her fans disappointed. So, that is also the reason why she was absent from the biggest beauty rankings.

After the final night, Ky Duyen shared on her personal page: "My dream has been completely fulfilled. Top 30 Miss Universe 2024.

I am really proud of myself for contributing a small part to my beloved Vietnam. And because this year's Miss Universe competition was so fierce with 130 contestants from different places, and everyone was strong."

She thanked the audience for their support and love. Ky Duyen said she would pack her bags and return home soon.
