H'Hen Nie said that despite being criticized on the show "Dap Gio", she was not discouraged, considering the audience's comments as motivation to improve herself.
The beauty queen talked about the difficulties when participating in the show, and responded when many viewers commented that she sang badly but still made it to the final round of "Beautiful Sister Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves 2023".
- How do you feel about being one of the finalists?
- I am happy and joyful because the audience loves me. On the other hand, I feel pressured knowing that people have high expectations for my performance. Not only me but also the other "beautiful sisters" try to bring an attractive performance to the audience. In the performance this year, for the first time I was in the winning group, not in the elimination room.
Regarding my opinion that I did not have any impressive performance but still made it to the finals, it is not fair to the other contestants. I think that I was able to continue thanks to the votes of the audience in the studio. Every time I hear the cheers of everyone sitting below, I have more motivation to be confident and give my all on stage.
- During the competition, you were criticized for singing badly and having a weak voice. What do you think about that opinion?
- I appreciate all compliments and criticisms from the audience. I think people who care about and follow my activities have such comments and suggestions. If I don't do well, sing well, or have a weak voice, I have to try harder and improve myself.
Every time they read bad news or criticized me on the show, my friends and relatives were afraid that I would be sad or weak. However, throughout the competition, I never faltered.
- How do you prepare for the final round?
- I am always mentally ready to perform. The other members of the group also come up with strategies to make the performance most effective. I put aside my schedules to focus on practicing. Because it is not just a competition performance but also a performance for the audience.
When I accepted the offer to join the show, I started from zero in terms of singing and dancing. I told my manager that except for the community and brand plans I had received, I had to prioritize my dance and vocal training schedule. I learn quite slowly so I had to try harder than others. With a dance, people only need to practice 2-3 times to remember and move on to another move, but I do it over and over again.
I also had difficulty remembering the lyrics. I had to print out the lyrics and carry them with me everywhere, reciting them to remember the words. In the first few rounds, I was nervous, afraid that I would sing wrong and affect the whole group.

- During more than five months participating in the show, do you have any memorable memories?
- I remember the times when the "beautiful sisters" met and practiced. Everyone was focused on the test, it felt like going back to school days.
The person I was most impressed with in the show was Ms. Phuong Vy. I like the determination, passion and optimism of the singer. I learned from her the fierce spirit, doing difficult things with a happy mindset. For example, in the second performance, when coming up with the idea of a cheerleading performance, everyone was scared but Ms. Vy was the leader, motivating everyone to be determined. We also have many similarities such as always being on time. Ms. Vy always encouraged me to practice singing with the band, saying "Come on Hen", "I believe you can do it".
- After "Beautiful Sister Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves", what are your plans in the singing field?
- I received several invitations to perform at commemorative programs and contribute my voice to projects related to the community and society. I am happy because at least when participating in an event, in addition to chatting, I can also perform. The long-term plan for singing depends on many factors and the word "fate", so I dare not say in advance.
