12 couples appeared on stage, making the students burst into emotions. Unlike usual days, the male and female students changed their school uniforms into elegant vests and evening gowns to perform together in the Ao Dai and talent competitions. |
“The King & Queen competition for senior students is a special highlight, a playground for students to “burn” themselves out on stage after long days of studying and stressful exam preparation in the program. Classes select couples to compete in preliminary rounds such as: English presentation via video, talent demonstration in Giang Vo's Got Talent search event... to find the best couple,” said Ms. Ha.

In particular, in the musical, through the story of Linh and Nam's unspoken feelings, Linh wants to break through but is not confident, while Nam wants to participate in activities but is hindered by his parents. Nam's parents only want their son to focus on the upcoming excellent student exam. The sadness and resentment of the lucky students are discovered by the homeroom teacher, who encourages and motivates them to confidently participate in activities to express themselves. The story conveys the message: "In addition to studying, students also need the understanding and companionship of their parents and teachers so that they can have hours of fun and balance their lives."

Winning the question of choosing virtual or real friendship
The couples appearing on stage made the students burst into emotions. Unlike usual days, the male and female students changed their school uniforms into elegant vests and evening gowns to perform greetings, evening gowns, and behavior in both English and Vietnamese. The judges, including teachers, MCs, etc., selected the outstanding couples who shone in the competitions.
The couple Phuong Linh - Phu Minh from class 9A2 won with their excellent answer to a behavioral question related to choosing between making 100 virtual friends on social networks or one close friend in real life.
Phuong Linh said that 100 friends on social networks can give her a feeling of connection and sharing widely, but a close friend in real life will bring a feeling of closeness, sharing both joys, sorrows and even the most difficult times. In particular, a close friend in real life can meet, see each other, feel the most sincere and warm understanding.

Ms. Nguyen Quynh Trang, a parent whose child is in grade 9, attended the program and shared her wonderful feelings, "like reliving the beautiful school years". She felt sorry and worried because this is the final year of school, and her children have to face a tough and stressful exam. Her children are studying and preparing for the exam, but their parents are also "tense as a guitar string". However, after days of hard and serious studying, the school always has programs and activities for the children to participate in and have fun. "In particular, students are given a playground and encouraged to express their talents and creativity, thereby making them more confident and loving school more," Ms. Trang said.
