We had a quick chat with the new Miss.
Reporter (PV):Congratulations Phung Hong May, can you briefly introduce yourself?
Phung Hong May (PHM): I am a student of K50, Faculty of Archival Science and Office Management, University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Vietnam National University, Hanoi). I was born and raised in Hai Phong. My hobbies are listening to music, reading books, playing sports such as swimming and aerobics.
PV: As one of the representatives of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities participating in the competition, do you feel any pressure when previously, the representatives of the school participating in the competition at the VNU level all "made it big" like Hoang Anh for example?
PHM:I don’t feel any pressure. Before the contest, I didn’t think about whether I would win or not. For me, it was a useful playground to interact with many other girls, who are certainly excellent representatives of the units.
PV: What do you think about the organization and scale of this competition?
PHM:This is the most professionally organized and large-scale competition I have ever seen. The Organizing Committee helped the contestants go to many places and do many meaningful things such as learning about the origins of the ancient capital Hoa Lu (Ninh Binh), visiting some heroic Vietnamese mothers, and burning incense to commemorate the martyrs at Tu Liem cemetery (Hanoi). These are useful activities not only for me but also for other students participating in the competition.
PV: What about the jury?
PHM:I am very impressed with Mr. David Minh Duc. He is a talented and professional designer. He has a keen eye for choosing suitable outfits for each contestant. He is also very dedicated to the contestants, attending most of the rehearsals to guide and instruct them carefully on how to perform on stage so that everyone can show off their best features.
PV: How do you rate your competitors in this competition? Which contestant impressed you the most?
PHM:I think you are all very beautiful, talented, and the most typical flowers representing the units in Hanoi National University. In my opinion, whoever wins the prize is worthy and capable of representing the beauty of female students of Hanoi National University in the upcoming beauty contests.
PV: The judges highly appreciated your confidence, intelligence and professional performance in costumes. What can you say about this?
PHM:I was really surprised to be appreciated so much. On stage, I just thought about trying my best to show my beauty through the costumes. I am very happy that my efforts have had good results.
PV: At the end of the Elegant Female Student contest of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, you said you were most satisfied with your talent performance, but in the contest at the VNU level, you were not in the top 3 best performances, what do you think?
PHM:I think I tried my best, and that was the decision of the judges. I also really liked the talented performances of Pha Le, Thuy Trang and Kim Sau. They were all excellent in showing their own talents.
PV: In the behavioral round, there were some opinions that were not satisfied with your answer. Did you find it a difficult question? If you could answer again, what would you say?
PHM:In my opinion, it is a question about a pressing issue in today's society. This is a difficult question to answer perfectly in a short period of time while standing on stage. But I am quite satisfied with my answer.
PV: What is the biggest thing you learned from participating in this competition? What are your personal memories and with whom?
PHM: It was a very interesting experience, through which I discovered and found my strengths and overcame my limitations to improve myself.
There are so many memories, mainly with the contestants. We had a great time together.
PV: Some people say that in today's beauty contests, the intellectual beauty of the contestants seems to be out of balance with their physical beauty. What is your opinion on this issue?
PHM:In my opinion, that is just a biased opinion. Specifically in this contest, I personally think that you are not only beautiful but also very intelligent and talented. If you follow the contest, you will see that.
PV: There is another opinion that today's youth are more dynamic, creative, and talented than previous generations, but seem to lack depth of thought and beauty of soul, focusing on modern values and forgetting traditional values. What is your opinion on this issue?
PHM:I think that youth are different in each era. Nowadays, we are living in a modern society that forces people, especially young people, to be active in order to assert themselves. However, the current young generation has many activities towards their roots, preserving traditions, and participating in positive social activities. Everyone should believe in our young generation.
PV: As Miss Elegant Female Student of Hanoi National University, what changes will your life have? What are your wishes for your future work and life?
PHM:My life is still the same as before, still going to university every day and doing the duties of a normal student.
As for work, I think I have chosen the right career and will follow the path I have chosen. But if life opens up many other opportunities for me to try, I will consider to make the right decision.
PV: If you were a representative of female students from Hanoi National University participating in beauty contests at higher levels, what message would you like to send to those contests?
PHM:The message I want to send is: Female students of Hanoi National University are not only beautiful in appearance but also intelligent, wise, friendly, and sociable with everyone. And I hope I will leave a good impression on everyone.
PV:Thank you.
