Colombia's representative - Vanesa Velásquez Valencia - was the third contestant to participate in the behavioral round, she chose to answer in her mother tongue. However, the organizers did not arrange an interpreter to translate her answer into English.

The MC of the show invited the reigning Miss Luma Russo to translate the Colombian beauty's answer, which surprised many people. The fact that the reigning Miss had to translate for the contestant's behavior caused controversy on beauty forums. The contest organizers were criticized for not arranging an interpreter.

"The reigning beauty queen became an interpreter for the first time", "The contest is so unprofessional, they can't even hire an interpreter", "The MC asked the Australian beauty to behave in English or her mother tongue. If Australia doesn't speak English, what language do they speak?" are comments from the audience.

Regarding Quynh Nga's question, she received the question: What do you think about the role of tourism in preserving culture? The representative of Vietnam confidently answered: "Tourism is very important in preserving culture. This is the driving force for indigenous people to appreciate the uniqueness of local culture. They understand the origin and unique values of the nation, spread it to tourists and thus develop the economy. I think this is a cycle. Therefore, tourism is extremely important in preserving the culture of each country".
