Miss Dream exposed the script's "tricks" at Next Top Model, suspected of "arranging" to buy the award?

The appearance of Le Minh Tra My (Nang Mo) at the Vietnam's Next Top Model 2025 program has created a wave of heated debate, dividing public opinion and industry experts.

With a height of 1m68 and a round face, this girl born in 2006 seems to go against the traditional standards of a high fashion model. Although she is a hot TikToker with more than 400,000 followers and is considered to have improved through each challenge, Nang Mo's path to the future is still questioned.

From the very beginning, Nang Mo received many opinions that she was "more suitable for beauty pageants than for modeling". Supermodel Ha Anh, in a conversation with the audience, frankly stated that Nang Mo was more suitable for the job of photo model than professional fashion model, because her figure was too small to walk on the catwalk. Ha Anh also emphasized: "If you go to the contest to get media coverage or for entertainment, it's up to you."

However, Ha Anh's opinion has met with opposition from those with many years of experience in the industry. Former model Trang Tran asserted: "The standard for models does not necessarily have to be tall." She cited cases of world-famous models with "non-standard" heights such as Twiggy or Devon Aoki, both under 1m65, to prove that the most important factor is suitability with the designer and the ability to generate revenue for the brand.

Designer Do Manh Cuong also agrees with this view. With 20 years of experience in the profession, he said: "Whether a model is suitable or not, the designer will be the one to choose." He revealed that many of his customers prefer models with average height and friendly faces, because they find it easier to relate to and want to buy clothes.

Nang Mo’s performances on the show have also been a controversial topic. On the one hand, many viewers have expressed their love for her positive energy, while also acknowledging her remarkable progress through each episode. However, others believe that the show is favoring Nang Mo too much. They point out that many of the challenges are designed to allow her to take advantage of her dancing skills, helping her win easily.

Responding to these rumors, Nang Mo affirmed that she was not favored over other contestants. She said that the reason she was getting more attention was due to the advantage of social media, especially the TikTok channel with a large number of followers, making her image more accessible to the public.

Nang Mo also frankly admitted that her height of 1m68 is not up to the standard of a normal runway model. But she believes that she has other factors to go far. She said: "I think beauty has no measure, nor a certain shape." Nang Mo wants to break the stereotypes about the modeling profession and prove that even if she does not have a perfect body or straight legs, she can still create surprises at Vietnam's Next Top Model. "I believe everyone has their own beauty, you have to respect yourself to shine," she shared.

Nang Mo, real name Le Minh Tra My, born in 2006, is a promising young face of the Vietnamese modeling industry. She had the opportunity to perform for famous designers such as Le Thanh Hoa, Vu Viet Ha and take photos for Do Manh Cuong, before joining the program. Vietnam's Next Top Model 2025, based on the famous format of Tyra Banks, will end with the final night scheduled for October 12 in Ho Chi Minh City. Nang Mo's journey continues and will be one of the most notable highlights of this year's season.
