The Face 2023 has just aired and caused a lot of controversy between the loud voices of the duo Ky Duyen - Minh Trieu and Vu Thu Phuong, Anh Thu.
In a conversation with VTC News reporter, supermodel Vu Thu Phuong shared about the noise in the recently aired episode.
- After episode 1 aired and caused a lot of controversy, did you contact Ky Duyen - Minh Trieu to clarify the noise?
Why should I contact you, everything is so clear. When the show aired, the editors cut out the long, controversial parts. I absolutely do not like having ten minutes of such drama in the first episode. Everything that happened was real, there was no arrangement at all.
I think position is both important and unimportant. It depends on each person. If you are confident and shining, any position is fine. If you always demand too much, it is a lack of confidence.

- The audience is very surprised by Minh Trieu's sharing about her continuous attack causing many "marks" on her body while filming. What is the truth of this story?
I was shocked to hear this because it was just an interaction during filming, nothing too serious. Minh Trieu and I only had 3 sword fighting scenes together. We had an impact on each other because it was an action scene. Maybe during filming I accidentally scratched Minh Trieu in some places.
However, I was shocked because it was completely normal. I myself was also scratched a lot during filming. With such action scenes, not only the coaches but also the contestants were scratched a lot. I felt a bit regretful that if Minh Trieu had brought up the issue to solve, I would have shown her the injuries on my body. Not only me but also Anh Thu, Ky Duyen and all the contestants. When accepting to act in action scenes, scratches, peeling skin, and broken nails are also normal.
I always want to do everything perfectly. Everyone has to be the most focused, so I might have to listen to Nam Trung and the director of photography, not Minh Trieu. She asked me twice to raise and lower the swords in unison. However, Nam Trung said we had to fight each other to the fullest. That was the director's direction, so I regret not being able to listen to Minh Trieu's suggestion at that time.
I want to apologize to Minh Trieu if I have hurt her, but it was not intentional. I hope Minh Trieu does not think in a negative way and mislead public opinion like that. I also want to tell you two that the mistakes in the program are from you, do not push it onto me like that because it is very strange.
- So does that mean the saying "putting fire in someone else's hand" that you shared after the show was aimed at Minh Trieu?
When I posted that, I meant to say that the person who took the blame for the situation was me. I don’t like that. I hope that if there is anything, everyone should resolve it clearly at that time. But here, the two girls were clearly wrong but still spoke like that. Everyone can see that there were times when I had to endure silence. The reason is because I was the one in the middle, one side was the teacher, the other side was my student.
During the recruitment period, Ky Duyen and Minh Trieu were together the whole time. I even teased them about finding a way to separate them. Later, I thought it was a bit too much so I didn't care much and let it be. When working professionally, you should respect each other. You shouldn't ask for and demand too much like that.
- What do you think about the opinions that Vu Thu Phuong is intentionally creating drama by relying on her juniors to promote her name?
What do they have that I have to rely on? If you compare people in all fields and values, everyone will understand. Does Vu Thu Phuong need drama or glory? If I do, I am capable of doing it myself and don’t need to rely on anyone. When everyone appears together, who will shine?
I am proud of being a stylish supermodel with my own values. I am still training myself every day to be better.
Whether I returned to showbiz for the glory or not is not certain, but it is my hobby and passion. I came back not to be a supermodel, not to be a beauty queen, but just to share and accompany the younger generation. I am not too concerned about my team being the champion. Whatever I can contribute, I will support them with all my heart. That is what I want to bring to the program, not such lame comparisons.
Vu Thu Phuong feels disappointed with Minh Trieu's behavior.
- How is the relationship between you and Ky Duyen - Minh Trieu now?
At first, we worked very happily during the selection round. Although there were some arguments in convincing the contestants to join our team, everything was still very normal. My relationship with the two of them is still fine, but if you ask me if I still want to work together, I'm not sure.
I had ignored the argument about standing. But why did I have to speak up then? Because you guys wanted to cancel the filming set. Ms. Anh Thu herself was also upset because she had to wait 2 hours for unreasonable and unreasonable demands. From the beginning, Ms. Anh Thu and I had no problem with standing. If we were both placed outside by lottery, we would still be comfortable.
The two of you were wrong but you jumped around unreasonably. At that time, the two of you pushed the direction for Ms. Thu because she wanted to stop filming, I had to pull her back. At that time, the crew was about 200 people, the organizers invested in a whole robot arm, which was very expensive.
Perhaps the audience will see it as negative when the coaches argue like that, but when necessary, I have to speak up. I am qualified to teach my students, my juniors, and protect my own dignity.
- However, because of speaking out, you were also criticized for your harsh attitude towards your juniors?
An event that took place in 2 hours but when it was broadcast, there were only a few minutes left, was that enough to understand the whole story? The two seniors had to sit and wait for 2 hours to listen to the juniors' demands and demands, I think my reaction at that time was too light. We were all tired and wanted to finish the work early so that everyone could rest, while you guys only thought about your own feelings.
At that time, I just wanted to do it as quickly as possible to return home to my children. That's why speaking up at that time was much gentler than what really happened. If I find out more, I think you two will only make yourselves look worse.
The heated debate between Vu Thu Phuong, Anh Thu and Minh Trieu, Ky Duyen.
- There are many opinions that Vu Thu Phuong and Anh Thu are bullying their two juniors?
The image clearly proves that the two seniors were bullied in return. Anh Thu and I waited nearly 2 hours before speaking up, and yet we are still being accused of bullying our juniors?
- After this incident, what is your view of Minh Trieu - your student?
I don't understand what made Minh Trieu become such a person. In the next episodes, everyone will witness more. Right now, to describe this student, the word "heartbroken" must be used.
Vu Thu Phuong faces a lot of pressure at The Face Vietnam 2023.
- Many viewers also said that the conflicts between the coaches were all staged according to the show's pre-arranged script. Is this true?
When participating in this competition, the organizers will have certain rules. We will only know the challenges when we come to film. While filming, the other side will be completely shielded. Everything is a secret. That is the beauty of reality TV and I affirm that everything is natural reflexes, not arranged.
- After the scandal, are you and Ky Duyen - Minh Trieu still happy to continue filming the next episodes?
I am not allowed to reveal the content of the show because it has not been broadcast yet. I think the audience should watch episode 2 to understand why there is such controversy. Everything is just beginning.
- Anh Thu had to exclaim in horror with The Face Vietnam this year, what about Vu Thu Phuong?
I was no different, panicked, scared and worried. At that time, I was also unlucky to have family pressure. A lot of pressure accumulated and made me feel terrible. At that time, my husband was away on business, the house was robbed and only my 4 daughters were home. When I went to film, I was not allowed to use my phone so my heart was always burning.
The time pressure when filming is also really brutal. I have never experienced a program with as much time pressure as The Face Vietnam because of the continuous work. The producer also continuously gave difficult challenges because of the pressure of returning after 5 years.
- Your "pecking" catwalk style in the program also caused a lot of mixed opinions. Many people thought that Vu Thu Phuong was overdoing it. What do you want to say about this?
It seems that audiences always like to follow a certain standard. Just like in my time, audiences tend to favor foreign things. Famous people in the world call me a fashion icon, while domestic audiences see me as a value that does not meet the standard.
Do I have to give up my uniqueness to imitate someone else? Do people want to see 5 people who are exactly the same or 5 different colors and personalities?
Each individual in this life is different, unique and one of a kind, that is what is special. Photocopies are always blurrier than the original. Be the original of your life. That is also the statement that Vu Thu Phuong has not changed during her 22 years in the profession.
- Thanks for sharing supermodel Vu Thu Phuong!
