Miss Grand VN's shrimp salt sponsor was attacked by netizens, pulling the fame of Miss Vietnam?

From the results to the issues surrounding the current MGVN contest, they are all entangled in controversy and heated discussion on social media. Notably, recently, a sponsor accompanying the contest also posted a clip of the CEO crying and choking when attacked by netizens

Accordingly, Huynh Thi Nhu Y (SN 1990, An Giang) is the owner of the popular shrimp salt brand that has become a co-sponsor of Miss Grand Vietnam 2024. Her products are constantly promoted by contestants and beauties participating in the contest as well as popular flowers and runners-up. However, this makes the online community express doubts because for the first time a Miss contest has a sponsor who is a spice product.

In addition, many conflicting opinions say that the female CEO "climbs high", swings around Miss to promote her brand even though it is not suitable for the nature of the contest. In addition, the company organizing Miss Grand Vietnam 2024 also frankly shared that she was initially quite worried when CEO Nhu Y expressed her desire to sponsor the contest because she was worried about not having enough money.

In the clips when the shrimp salt "tycoon" posted related to the contest received many "attacking" comments and attacks from the online community. In addition, partly due to the influence of the controversial contest results, as well as the information spread related to Ms. Pham Kim Dung - Head of the Miss Grand Vietnam Organizing Committee and director Hoang Nhat Nam, the brand representative also received "outrage". Some of Nhu Y's sales livestreams were flooded with offensive comments by netizens. Therefore, after the contest ended, the businesswoman officially spoke out about this noise.

Unable to hold back his emotions, CEO Nhu Y cried and said: "I sell salt as alum, it's a hometown, everyone? Selling salt is not allowed to introduce products anywhere, is it to be people's hometown, everyone?" Besides, she also said that her enthusiasm when establishing her own brand is for local people to have more jobs without having to go far. Therefore, she wants to do more to be able to spread the product.

"I was attacked a lot, my friends said that I was from my hometown, sold salt and went to sponsor Miss, embarrassed. And I didn't do anything? I sponsor a contest with the desire for my product to be known by many people, but I don't deceive anyone. But they flooded in and said that I was terrible, really very heartbroken," she added.

Some online communities believe that having mixed opinions on social media is inevitable, especially for businesses that appear for the first time, sponsoring a big contest. Therefore, netizens for the shrimp salt "tycoon" do not necessarily have to make a crying clip, just continue to focus on their work.

"Why cry? I just do what I do."

"The contest ended a few days ago and it was still noisy, now the brand will also speak up to attract drama."

"Selling salt sounds simple, but they are also a big business, and they have to prepare their costs carefully."

"It's true that it will look a little strange to see Miss constantly reviewing and livestreaming to sell products. But if they have the economic conditions to sponsor, it's fine, it's also a way to PR for both sides of the company."

It is known that Nhu Y has been building and developing her own shrimp salt brand for about 6 years now. From a small business, the product has received more and more support, with huge purchases on e-commerce platforms. Participating in sponsorship in addition to promoting domestic products, Nhu Y hopes that international friends will also know about Vietnamese specialties and brands.

Not only did the CEO of shrimp salt face criticism from fans, but many other judges in the contest were forced to speak out about the results of the contest to reassure the wave of frustration from the public. On his personal page, CEO Hoang Thanh Nga - representative of the crown sponsor of Miss Grand Vietnam 2024 also made a statement that attracted attention. CEO Hoang Thanh Nga had a livestream to share his feelings about the results of the contest. She said she predicted Thien Huong and Nam Anh would be in the Top 5. However, the fact that these 2 faces stopped in the Top 15 made the crown sponsor quite shocked and disappointed.

"When announcing the top 10, I stood in the picture, I always had a headache. I see that there are friends in the Top 10 who are weak, look at their faces without anything special and their answers are not good, I am also 'spicy'. I just wondered and texted Aunt Dung to ask why Thien Huong and Nam Anh were out of the top 10, because I was angry. After that, Aunt Dung took me out and explained but didn't say much, I was very warm, so I didn't care who the Top 5, Miss and Runner-up were. If it's true like the Top 5 that I predicted, it's delicious," said CEO Hoang Thanh Nga.

The crown sponsor also told more about the moment of disappointment of the diamond sponsor Miss Grand Vietnam "Aunt Hoa was sad and shocked by the result. The first time I saw her so disillusioned, she kept holding my hand and asking." Not only that, CEO Hoang Thanh Nga also made an attention-grabbing statement about continuing to accompany. "I don't know if there will be another sponsorship next year or not, I don't promise, I just say when or when I can sponsor it because I'm too tired. This year, I am sad because the joy of the crown has not been long ago, and I have a headache about it," the crown sponsor shared.
