Lan Khue "bounced, loudly" with the coaches in The New Mentor, what is the reason for the controversy?

Lan Khue's reaction when a contestant receives a "save button" and draws into his team is fiercely controversial. People think that the beauty expression is somewhat excessive and "ungraceful".

On the evening of August 11, episode 1 of The New Mentor - All-Powerful Model 2023 officially aired. For the knockout challenge, contestants will have to memorize and choose the exact design corresponding to their sequence number on the signboard and enter the runway to perform the catwalk in front of 6 Mentors.

In particular, according to the rules of this round, if the contestant leaves saved by 1 of 4 coaches, he will directly join that coach's team without going through the team selection round. In addition, judge Lukkade and host Pharmacist Tien also have the right to press the save button, after which contestants will draw to know which coach's team to join.

Striking in this part of the competition was the match of Tra My and Thuy Trang, both of whom did not perform well when wearing the wrong clothes with the assigned model. As experienced people, the spirit that Tra My and Thuy Trang brought to the competition disappointed the judges. As a result, Tra My received a higher number of votes, and Thuy Trang seemed to have to leave when she was saved by the Lukkade judge. After that, the fateful visit helped Thuy Trang join coach Lan Khue's team.

Because Lan Khue had previously "played mats" so that she could use her turn to save a contestant, as soon as the results that Thuy Trang peeled were announced, she immediately expressed surprise: "What is it, everyone. Hey, don't you give me a chance to pick a team?" After that, Lan Khue shared with Thuy Trang: "It's not that I'm not happy, I should have chosen the team and now with you in, I only have 4 chances, but I'm happy to have you in the squad."

After episode 1, Lan Khue's reaction was reshared by forums and received mixed comments. Accordingly, some netizens believe that Lan Khue's performance inadvertently made Thuy Trang an unworthy contestant to be saved. Many argue that although it does not count as a coach with contestants, Lan Khue's minimal courtesy in the above segment is completely absent. Many netizens also zoomed in on Thuy Trang's "spray glue" face to express their disagreement with Lan Khue's reaction.

However, other viewers commented that Lan Khue's reaction was nothing outrageous. Because she had saved a contestant before, when she received more Thuy Trang, the sudden outburst of emotions was understandable.
