Revealing to VietNamNet, Ngoc Giang said that driving a motorbike taxi was a meaningful experience he had. "Four months of traveling around Ho Chi Minh City, meeting and talking with many people from different backgrounds has brought me valuable lessons. This job helps me believe in myself, be grateful for life and have a thirst for learning and constantly improving," he shared.

A male student at Ho Chi Minh City Open University said he is attracted to girls with friendly, innocent and positive personalities.

Ngoc Giang is happy because his family supports him at Mr World Vietnam. "My parents always taught me that no matter how difficult it is, I should never drop out of school. There was a time when my family had to borrow money for me to study for the excellent student and university entrance exams. Seeing my parents' sacrifice, I just try my best to study well so as not to disappoint everyone's expectations and trust," he said.

His role model is MC Khanh Vy. Ngoc Giang shared: "Her discipline and dynamic, youthful spirit are an endless source of inspiration for me. Throughout high school, her videos about skill training, English, travel... gave me more motivation to study and develop myself."

Recalling the crisis period when he had an accident that caused his nose to become severely crooked, he shared: "A friend played dirty while playing soccer and injured me. Even after surgery, my nose was still not the same as before. At that time, I was self-conscious and did not dare to look in the mirror," he shared.

Currently, he accepts all his shortcomings and wants to send the message: "Don't let difficulties scare you, actively accept them and heal them with the best in you."

For Ngoc Giang, the most important quality of a king is kindness. He believes that Mr World Vietnam will have a great influence, inspiring people through charity activities and raising awareness of social issues.

To perform best in the competition, Ngoc Giang practiced hard, improved his appearance and health. In addition, he made efforts to learn English, practice his communication skills and improve his impulsiveness.
