Vu Thu Phuong kept attacking me.

The first episode of The Face Vietnam 2023 immediately caused a stir on social media with a heated debate among the judges.

Specifically, coaches Minh Triệu and Kỳ Duyên refused to accept the draw results because they were assigned separate standing positions. It's a perennial issue in showbiz: standing in the middle is always a point of contention, reflecting status and prestige. Therefore, when coaches Minh Triệu and Kỳ Duyên repeatedly argued about not being placed next to each other, the "big shots" became visibly annoyed.

The debate over the standing of the four coaches.

Coach Vu Thu Phuong angrily stated: "Stop being so unreasonable. So many people have invested, so much money has been spent, and then you suddenly say you're leaving. It's easier if you two wear the same outfit and don't separate anymore."

Responding to the relentless attacks from their seniors, coaches Minh Triệu and Kỳ Duyên also frankly retorted and clearly expressed their dissatisfaction. Concluding the "tense" argument, coach Anh Thư declared war: "From my generation to Vũ Thu Phương's generation, there's a clear hierarchy and order. You guys should reconsider; if you continue like this, it will be very disadvantageous for your contestants, especially if I win that round."

Ky Duyen and Minh Trieu received criticism for their uncooperative attitude.

After the episode aired, Minh Triệu and Kỳ Duyên received much criticism from netizens for their uncooperative attitude. Many also felt that the two beauties were being disrespectful to their seniors. In response to the controversy, Minh Triệu shared on her personal page that both of them always respected their seniors on the show and never intended to usurp the middle ground.

"Trieu and Duyen clearly shared their views that this is an important opening sequence, shaping the entire program for the audience, so it's especially necessary for them to stand together. Whether they stand on the left, right, or in the middle isn't important to them; in fact, our team suggested they could stand together behind the other members. Because the program was heavily edited due to time constraints, a lot of Trieu and Duyen's sharing was lost," she said.

Notably, Minh Triệu also revealed the reason for her rather harsh attitude towards her senior colleagues. According to the supermodel, during the previous fencing scene with Vũ Thu Phương, the two couldn't find common ground during their interaction. "Triệu suggested that the two of us act in sync to ensure the filming looked good and wasn't shaky, but Vũ Thu Phương kept attacking relentlessly. We were filming, not professional fencing. And even after Triệu reminded her three times, Phương had already hit Triệu in the face and hands, leaving Triệu with many 'marks'," the supermodel revealed.

Minh Triệu also stated that due to various grievances, the subsequent arrangement of filming locations became tense and heated. The supermodel hopes that the sisters will still find common ground to work together to create future generations of models.

Vu Thu Phuong and Minh Thu expressed their disapproval of their junior's behavior.

On her part, Ky Duyen also affirmed that due to the limited program time, it was impossible to show all the actual details. The beauty queen did not want people to misunderstand her team because, historically, neither of them had ever competed for a position with their seniors.
