The group protesting against Miss Ý Nhi with more than 650,000 members "encountered trouble"

The anti-Miss Ý Nhi group keeps changing its name.

After Miss World Vietnam 2023 Huynh Tran Y Nhi's controversial statements to the media, anti-groups (opposition) to the beauty from Binh Dinh "sprouted like mushrooms".

The group opposing Miss Ý Nhi has more than 650,000 members.

The anti-Miss Ý Nhi group has more than 650,000 members and has continuously changed its name since its creation on July 28, 2023.

Among them, the group "Anti-Miss Y Nhi Association" attracted a lot of attention from netizens, at one point reaching the number of members up to 650,000 participating accounts.

According to records, after being established on July 28, 2023 with the name "Miss FC", this group changed its name to "Anti-Miss Y Nhi Association" on the same day.

After that, the group continuously changed its name to "Anti-Y Nhi Association", "Anti-Miss Mature Association", "Anti-HH YN - Miss Mature Association", "Anti-Y Nhi Official Association" and returned to its old name "Miss FC" on August 17, then "Miss Vietnam FC".

While the group was constantly changing its name, its membership also dropped rapidly, losing more than 80,000 members. Now, the group has suddenly stopped operating.

Some groups and associations continuously change their names to anti-Miss Y Nhi groups.

Besides, social networks also continue to see a series of other anti-fan groups of Y Nhi.

Currently, the purpose of this name change is still unclear, however, it can be seen that the common point of these groups is to reduce the frequency of posting articles attacking the beauty queen from Binh Dinh, and to appear videos of livestream sales and recruitment.
