Mai Ngo - The legend of 'no eyebrows' and the sad life behind the personality and straightforwardness

Mai Ngo (Ngo Thi Quynh Mai) is not a strange name for Vietnamese TV audiences when funny memes about beautiful people have gone viral on social networks.

Now, it seems that Mai Ngo has shaped herself in the direction of a multi-talented female artist in the future. Not only encroaching on the beauty contest, Mai Ngo also has an intention to become a rapper and most recently participates in a dance program.

Mai Ngo used to be smooth on television, especially in beauty contests. She fell in love with the fashion scene from the 2012 Fashion Idol Search contest. By winning the top prize, she began to have more opportunities to develop her modeling career. After that, she continued to try at Vietnam's Next Top Model 2013 and was impressed by her youthful and energetic style. Despite participating in the house, Mai Ngo was eliminated quite early from episode 3.

Mai Ngo's name is really only known to the audience more widely thanks to her participation in two popular reality shows, Asia's Next Top Model and The Face Vietnam in 2016. She became the "meme" of the store. The series of photos were circulated by netizens like a storm thanks to unforgettable moments and extremely frank statements, not afraid to state their personal views.

In particular, the moment Mai Ngo was wearing makeup but was called back by coach Lan Khue to talk, causing her born in 1995 to reveal her white face without eyebrows is one of the most memorable marks of The Face Vietnam 2016. Since then, drawing eyebrows always seems to be Mai Ngo's top priority when appearing in public.

Not only that, Mai Ngo doesn't even care about the image when she constantly "gives" netizens a series of memes for a lifetime. Mai Ngo's saying "Anything can happen in this world" has gone viral throughout social networks and even reached the top 5 nominations for Viral Phrase/Sword of the Year at the 2016 WeChoice Awards. is an important turning point to help Mai Ngo's career change and become more famous after many years of operation.

Unsuccessful relationship with Miss Universe

Mai Ngo once participated in Miss Universe twice, but both failed to achieve high results. At the age of 19, Mai Ngo first enrolled in a national beauty contest - Miss Universe Vietnam 2015 (the same year as Pham Huong).

At that time, with the immature ability to behave, Mai Ngo had answers in the interview round that made the audience laugh. Typically, she confessed that the place she wanted to go was... the moon, because there was a friendly "sister Hang" or likened her personality to... a wolf: "The person is cute. with wolves it will be a dog. But when they scare the wolf, it will come back to eat meat." In the final night, the beauty was not named in the top 15 best beauties.

Determined to "revenge", Mai Ngo returned to Miss Universe Vietnam 2017, competing in the same year as H'Hen Niê, but the beautiful interview answers made the judges unsatisfied. In many information categories in the application, Mai Ngo clearly stated: "Please Google Mai Ngo" instead of the answer, which made the judges feel that they did not receive respect. In a broadcast episode, Mai Ngo also voluntarily left the catwalk class. When she was reminded by Pham Huong, she calmly replied: "Now I don't know what to say anymore".

Faced with too much pressure from public opinion, Mai Ngo made an application to withdraw from the Miss Universe Vietnam 2017 contest. Sharing with the media, the long-legged surname Ngo once shared: "I participated in the Miss Hoan program. Dance as a contestant to fulfill her dreams and passion for fighting in the beauty arena Just like in this beauty arena in 2015, this year I'm back to try myself again, but because of fate not enough, so everything is not favorable".

Sad life

On social networks, Mai Ngo also became the focus of ridicule for her bold statements. However, behind the strong girl who once fought with the ax of public opinion is the sadness that not everyone knows. In a program, the model born in 1995 brought an unexpected and tearful story when she told about her late father and the struggles of her biological mother in the journey to help her daughter reach her dream.

Specifically, when asked by People's Artist Hong Van about her father's memory, Mai Ngo confided: "When I was 5 or 6 years old, I only met my father because when I was young, my father went away to do business elsewhere. then every March from Ca Mau catch the car up to meet me 2 days Saturday and Sunday.After 1 or 2 years, when I was 7 years old, my father died in a car accident. Because of that, I don't remember much about him. ".

According to Mai Ngo, because of conflicts, misunderstandings, and unnecessary jealousy, her parents have become distant since she was born. Although she was less close to her father, the things left in her were still beautiful memories. Although he was strict with his mother, his father was always considerate and gently took care of the two sisters every time he came home to visit.

In particular, the memory of her father in her is almost empty: "When I grew up, I felt that having a mother must have a father, but I felt lacking, since I was a child, I only had a mother, my father was just flickering... now I don't. I always remember the position of the father, mother and daughter did everything, instead of father going to work to give money to mother, mother taking children to school, now she does it all. , what to wear; when I come back at night, I have to think about many things, and then sometimes I don't have a husband at night... I feel so sorry."

"The turn" to become a rapper

There was a time when Mai Ngo almost disappeared from the entertainment industry. Female models rarely appear. Her image is also not regularly updated on her personal page. It was not until October 2020, that Mai Ngo reappeared, announcing her encroachment on singing. She released her first MV "Doan View", showing off her rapping skills. Mai Ngo's rap is quite catchy and influenced by the famous rapper Cardi B.

A formidable opponent in the dance show

Most recently, Mai Ngo has become a "warrior" at the Dance Floor of Dance Season 2. This is a program with contestants who are all famous artists and choreographers. Few people know that this personality model is a dancer who tried her hand at So You Think You Can Dance and entered the top 30.

Mai Ngo surprised the audience when revealing her dancing ability under the background of her own rap song called CML (Call Me Later). She said this is the mashup of the upcoming EP Cashwalk.

Commenting on Mai Ngo in the show, judge Dong Nhi said: "As someone who has known Mai Ngo from a long time ago, Nhi can confirm that Mai Ngo is a very good dancing factor, today you only spend 50% of the time. only force". Currently, Mai Ngo's team is considered a formidable opponent in the program, and fans are extremely looking forward to the upcoming performances of the beauty.
