“I can't help but feel pressured...”

Miss Grand Vietnam 2023 1st Runner-up Bui Khanh Linh: "I will turn pressure into motivation to strive at Miss Intercontinental 2024 "

What is the reason that Miss Grand Vietnam 2023 1st Runner-up Bui Khanh Linh was chosen to compete in Miss Intercontinental 2024?

- I think each Miss and Runner-up has their own strengths and outstanding achievements, along with their own unique beauty. I feel lucky that the President of Miss Grand Vietnam Pham Kim Dung - the representative of the copyright holder of Miss Intercontinental Vietnam - trusted and chose me to participate in this contest. Perhaps this is fate and I will try my best. I hope that on this journey, everyone will support and accompany me to achieve the best results.

At present, how has runner-up Bui Khanh Linh prepared and trained in terms of maintaining her beauty, communication skills, performance... as the Miss Intercontinental 2024 contest is approaching?

- When I decided to join the contest, I understood that I needed to prepare carefully and thoroughly. I am still trying to improve my skills to meet the contest criteria.

In terms of appearance, I continue to exercise to maintain my figure and with my current training intensity, I am confident that I will maintain a balanced body.

Regarding communication skills, I learned from previous excellent representatives such as: Miss Bao Ngoc - Miss Intercontinental 2022) and Runner-up Ngoc Hang - 2nd Runner-up Miss Intercontinental 2023...

For the performance, I not only learned from my teacher but also discovered my own strengths to improve further. In particular, I focused on developing my presentation skills and English. These are areas that I am constantly improving, with the hope that in the upcoming journey, I can be confident and ready to "fight" with other contestants, introducing the image of Vietnam to international friends.

Many opinions say that when Vietnam has consecutive high achievements at the Miss Intercontinental arena (such as: Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc crowned Miss Intercontinental 2022; Runner-up Le Nguyen Ngoc Hang won the 2nd Runner-up prize at Miss Intercontinental 2023), will this make Bui Khanh Linh's chances of winning a high position limited, even "difficult to enter the top" at this beauty contest?

- Actually, I cannot avoid pressure, especially when Miss Bao Ngoc and Runner-up Ngoc Hang are both excellent people with impressive achievements. However, I will turn pressure into motivation to strive. When there is a chance to win high awards, it also means attracting attention to Vietnam. Therefore, I believe that if I practice and try hard, I will still have the opportunity to achieve good results.

It is inevitable that Bui Khanh Linh will be compared with Miss Bao Ngoc and Runner-up Ngoc Hang when they "fight" together at Miss Intercontinental. What do you think about the performance and strengths of these "seniors" that we need to learn and apply at Miss Intercontinental 2024?

- Miss Bao Ngoc and Runner-up Ngoc Hang both have in common the fact that they are full of energy. This is something I need to learn and absorb from them. Especially in a contest, each person's energy and performance are very important, because they reflect the spirit of a Beauty Queen. I have learned about the contest's criteria and realized that both Miss Bao Ngoc and Runner-up Ngoc Hang possess strong inner strength. These are two things I think I need to learn from my "seniors" to be able to perform well in this contest.

In addition to possessing an outstanding height of 1.77m, what other "sharp weapons" does runner-up Bui Khanh Linh have when participating in Miss Intercontinental 2024?

- I am confident about my height even though I cannot compare to Miss Bao Ngoc (1.85m tall - PV). But I think with my height of 1.77m, when I try to exercise to have a stronger, more toned body, that will be a strong point.

I will try to practice more skills such as catwalk, expression and charisma. With these efforts, I am confident that I can conquer both the audience and the judges in the journey to conquer the crown of Miss Intercontinental 2024.

Before participating in the Miss Intercontinental 2024 contest, how did the title of 1st Runner-up of Miss Grand Vietnam 2023 change Bui Khanh Linh's life?

- The biggest thing I got from winning the title of 1st Runner-up Miss Grand Vietnam 2023 is the opportunity to learn more. Most of my time is spent on studying and working, but that is what helps me develop quickly.

I have new responsibilities as many people always follow and support me. This is a very favorable environment to help me grasp more important responsibilities in the future and be able to support more people.

There is information that Bui Khanh Linh "Going South" can buy a house, buy a car and shop comfortably after winning the 1st Runner-up prize of Miss Grand Vietnam 2023. What do you say about this?

- I am lucky to have a title and I am dedicated and work every day. Moreover, I am happy to be able to pay for my own courses and personal needs.

I always prioritize investing in improving my knowledge and developing myself so that my work can also develop better. When my ability is better, my income will also be better. Currently, I am trying every day to develop more and more.

In 2024, many beauties have "contested" in a number of international beauty contests but no one has won the highest position. What is the goal of runner-up Bui Khanh Linh when participating in the "race" of Miss Intercontinental 2024?

- Coming to a contest, everyone wants to be the winner. I also set a goal to win over myself. At Miss Intercontinental 2024, I try to cultivate and perfect my skills to conquer the international title, I set a goal for myself to win the highest position. I hope my efforts will be welcomed by everyone.

Thanks runner-up Bui Khanh Linh for sharing the information!
