"Rough gem" is the phrase that experts as well as the jury of the Miss Universe Vietnam 2023 contest (Miss Cosmo Vietnam) gave to Bui Thi Xuan Hanh, candidate number 579 from Ninh Binh - the girl who excelled over hundreds of contestants to be crowned the highest position. 2023 is considered a great victory year for the 22-year-old girl from the ancient capital when she achieved high titles in not just one but two contests: Miss Cosmo Vietnam and The Face Vietnam.
Ms. Hong Nam, Xuan Hanh's mother, emotionally shared right after the contest ended: Although she was not able to cheer for her daughter directly at the final night in Da Lat, she took advantage of the time to complete the wooden product to deliver to customers and watch the live broadcast, the family was extremely happy with the result of their little daughter. Her daughter's success at the Miss Universe Vietnam 2023 contest is the result of Xuan Hanh's efforts and overcoming difficulties because the family could not help her with anything other than encouragement and visits. Xuan Hanh's father passed away a long time ago, she lives with her mother, sister and stepfather.
At the final night of the contest, only Xuan Hanh's older sister flew to Da Lat to cheer and encourage her younger sister, while her parents could not come because the family works in the fine art woodworking industry, so they had to urgently complete orders at the end of the year. In addition, Hanh's grandfather had an accident, so her parents had to stay home to take care of him. In the context of a family working in a traditional craft village, witnessing the strength of her mother and sister in life brought Xuan Hanh many lessons, reminding her to strive to achieve her goals. Xuan Hanh's luggage to the Miss Universe Vietnam 2023 contest, as Xuan Hanh's mother said, was the desire of youth and a suitcase of "effort" to carry.
Coming out of the The Face Vietnam 2023 contest in July 2023 with the title of runner-up, for Xuan Hanh this was a stepping stone to bring her to the professional catwalk. Hanh's parents were extremely worried because their daughter studied and graduated from the Faculty of Tourism and Travel Services Management, National Economics University, and now pursued a new profession, very unfamiliar with the family's wish for a stable office job for their obedient, gentle, quiet, somewhat introverted daughter, who was also called a "bookworm" when she was young.
Alone in Ho Chi Minh City to start a business for a year now and then registered to compete in Miss Universe Vietnam 2023, Xuan Hanh hid it from her family so no one knew. Only when she was in the top 38 contestants in the final round did Hanh tell her parents.
It turns out that the motivation for the 22-year-old girl to want to try her hand at a beauty contest comes from the encouragement of her seniors in the professional field, friends, and colleagues. Remember, right from the episodes of the reality TV show The Face Vietnam 2023, Xuan Hanh was evaluated by the judges as a potential name not only in the modeling world but also a factor to nominate to compete in beauty contests in the future because she not only possesses a beautiful, harmonious face but is also a knowledgeable model.
Having participated in the Miss Universe Vietnam 2023 contest before, Xuan Hanh has an advantage over many other contestants because she previously participated in The Face Vietnam. She has learned catwalk skills, quick but calm behavior, and time management skills from previous reality TV shows. Along with her intelligence, she has been proven through her impressive academic achievements at the National Economics University when she won second prize in the scientific research competition.
Following Xuan Hanh's journey of preparing for the competition, we can see all the thoughts and feelings that the young girl wants to convey. In each costume design for the competition, she wants to incorporate meaningful messages. For the national costume competition, the beauty presented the design "Mother Stork", a metaphor for the image of hard-working Vietnamese women. The evening gown for the semi-final night was a dress with stone embellishments depicting the mountains and rivers of Ninh Binh. Through the performance costumes as well as the activities at the competition, she hopes to promote and spread the image of the beautiful and friendly ancient capital to audiences and friends across the country.
The moment the 22-year-old girl was announced caused many mixed opinions. However, those who have watched the reality TV show "I am Miss Universe Vietnam" in recent times can see that Xuan Hanh always maintains her form, being named among the top contestants in each episode. Bui Thi Xuan Hanh is also highly appreciated for her good performance and foreign language ability.
Throughout the 9 episodes of the reality TV show Miss Universe Vietnam 2023, Xuan Hanh made a strong impression with her eloquence, agility, and extensive knowledge, understanding many fields. The beauty excellently won the "Cosmo Look" challenge. Before the final, she was also named in the top 6 "Best in Swimsuit".
Xuan Hanh is not the name that beauty fans prioritize as the new Miss in this year's season, but throughout the "I, train me" stations in the 9 reality TV shows of the contest, she always made an impression and shone. At the press conference after the final night, the judges also evaluated the new Miss as a rough gem, with a breakthrough in the short time participating in the contest. Xuan Hanh is likened to a blank sheet of paper when entering the art world but constantly practicing.
Assessed to have many qualities, the jury believes that after being crowned, Xuan Hanh will be a promising face. In particular, Xuan Hanh has the advantage of thinking about developing sustainable models thanks to graduating from the National Economics University, so her community project "New Life" to help the homeless has shown a lot of potential...
Sharing at the press conference after the coronation on the morning of January 1, 2024, the new Miss said: " Up to now, I am still elated, seeing the journey I have just gone through as more meaningful and mature. This year's contest is organized with a new format, the theme is "I, training me". I know there are conflicting opinions, I myself still have many shortcomings, but I will try to improve, hoping that everyone will have a positive view of what I am trying to change. In the future, I will try to change, prove more things".
The new Miss also said that her family is the motivation and spiritual support that helps her have her current strength. For Xuan Hanh, her sister has given her a lot of motivation and inspiration in her work and personal life. She said: "She often tells me that I have to believe in myself first, when I want to do something, I have to be patient and not give up. I always consider that as a compass to move forward."
Miss Universe Vietnam 2023 returns with a new international name, Miss Cosmo Vietnam, announced in August. In addition to the cash prize of 300 million VND, the new Miss Bui Thi Xuan Hanh wins the right to compete in Miss Cosmo - Miss Universe International, which will be held for the first time in Vietnam in 2024. |
