Shi Thu Thao suffered a reaction on the eve of the Miss Earth final, putting it on the scale compared to H'Hen Nie

The audience expressed mixed opinions when runner-up Thach Thu Thao used Khmer dance at the Miss Earth talent contest. The reason given by the beauty who is representing Vietnam, it would be better to use specific elements to promote the image and culture of the country.

Compared to previous representatives, pink ball born in 2k1 impresses with its personality, sharp brown skin and quite good performance skills. In addition, Thach Thu Thao also shows her thoughtfulness in terms of costumes and images every time she appears.

After the swimsuit, evening dress contest... Recently, Thach Thu Thao officially entered the talent contest. Long legs boldly used Khmer dance - the characteristic of his people to compete with 89 contestants around the world. Besides compliments on confident demeanor and professional dance techniques. Many viewers thought this was a risky move because Khmer dance is often used by Cambodian representatives at beauty pageants. Although she respects the national cultural identity, when stepping into the international arena, carrying a Vietnamese sash, she should choose characteristics to promote the national image. Or more creatively, it can integrate materials, jewelry, costumes between Vietnam and Khmer to impress. Before Thach Thu Thao, Miss H'Hen Nie was also very delicate when bringing E-De's identity to Miss Universe 2018.

It is known that the reason Thach Thu Thao uses Khmer dance is partly because of the positive effect from the previous Miss Vietnam Peoples pageant. Actor Truong Ngoc Anh - the copyright holder of Miss Earth Vietnam also admired the Khmer dance talent of "pet chicken". Sharing with the media, Thach Thu Thao is proud to be a native of Tra Vinh. Therefore, she often incorporates cultural elements within the framework of Miss Earth and her personal page.

Some audience comments on Thach Thu Thao's participation:

"If you want to bring the culture and identity of the Khmer people, you can embroider details on your shirt or wear Khmer-related jewelry and accessories. If you are taking the exam for Vietnam, you must bring the common spirit of the whole country. It's not like you wear your class uniform and take exams for your entire school. Not to mention that Cambodia even took it, and didn't see you speak up."

"Representing Vietnam but taking Khmer culture and arts to perform art and culture and then representing Vietnam... where is the image of art and culture of Vietnamese people?"

"It's okay to wear whatever you want to wear in the country. But when it comes time to go internationally, you must promote Vietnamese culture, otherwise mix so that there is a little Vietnam! Avoid controversy, I see that Cambodian fans claim it is not wrong, the national culture is theirs! Asians in general have extremely strong national self-esteem."

"In the Miss Nationalities contest, I represent my Khmer nation, but when I go international, I represent all Vietnamese women across the country."

On the evening of September 29, the final of Miss Earth - Miss Earth will officially take place. The beauty had emotional shares on her personal page. Thach Thu Thao wrote, although he still has many limitations, he will do his best to bring pride to his country. It is known that after the highest achievement of Miss Phuong Khanh 2018, from 2019 until now, Vietnam has continuously "empty-handed" at Miss Earth. "I know I'm not perfect but I'm proud that I didn't give up. To this day, Thao feels much better than before. For me, this journey marks the growth of the 21-year-old and will be an important milestone to start a long journey in the future. I was still a small, inexperienced and crying g.irl. But I promise to show my best for the colors of the shirt, for the loved ones and for the brothers and sisters who always support", the representative of Vietnam at Miss Earth 2022 expressed

Commenting on Thach Thu Thao's makeover, actor Truong Ngoc Anh hopes this is a playground to help juniors have more experiences. Although there are many expectations, it is not so that it puts pressure on the beautiful

"Thao is a g.irl with compassion, love for nature, life, love for the community through what she does. Thao has the energy to rise. The first is that Thao is self-deprecating because she is ethnic Khmer. Thao thinks her people are small and don't have much of a voice in the community. Thao wishes to do something to make her people more vocal and also bring glory to her country.

Thao came from the Miss Vietnam Peoples pageant, Thao boldly went to the contest to help her family and help her nation first, thereby helping the community and the country of Vietnam. Many trips that Thao traveled day and night, for 3 months Thao joined YNet Vietnam. YNet itself also felt Thao's heart and enthusiasm, so it decided to a.ward her the title of ambassador, not because of her influence or popularity."
