More than one week after the final, first runner-up Le Phuong Khanh Nhu returned to Khanh Hoa to visit her parents. Her family's home is located in an alley on Tran Phu street, Nha Trang city. Upon entering, she was surprised to see relatives had printed large banners, hung on the wall to welcome her home.
The family prepared a small party, inviting relatives and neighbors to celebrate. The runner-up thanked everyone for their encouragement, which helped her feel confident during the recent beauty pageant journey. "Gathering with my loved ones, eating a meal, I feel like I am still a little girl," she said.
On the morning of 12/4, Khanh Nhu woke up after a deep sleep – something she had struggled to get for over one month due to her busy schedule during and after the competition. The runner-up enjoyed a bowl of bun rieu (crab noodle soup) cooked by her mother. For many years, Khanh Nhu's parents have been involved in selling breakfast food. "I am grateful to have grown up from the money my parents saved," she said.
On 13/4, Khanh Nhu will return to Le Quy Don gifted high school to visit her teachers and present scholarships to underprivileged students who have overcome difficulties. She is 22 years old, 1.69 meters tall, with body measurements of 85-59-95 centimeters. The runner-up is a final-year student in the Tourism faculty at the University of Economics, Ho Chi Minh City. At Miss World Vietnam, judges praised her confident demeanor, and she previously won the 'Nguoi dep ban linh' (Brave Beauty) sub-award.

On 11/4, the competition's second runner-up, Truong Tam Nhu, also flew from Ho Chi Minh City to Thua Thien Hue. Returning home after nearly two months, the beauty said she had mixed emotions. Tam Nhu only had one day to gather with her family before returning to Ho Chi Minh City to continue her schedule.
In her small home, Truong Tam Nhu, along with her grandmother and parents, reminisced about memories from childhood to adulthood. Looking at childhood photos hung by her parents on the wall, she was moved. Tam Nhu also showed everyone her high school study corner, adorned with dozens of commendation certificates.
Accompanying Tam Nhu to Hue was the new Miss, Phan Phuong Oanh. Tam Nhu took her senior on a stroll through the streets to enjoy local specialties of the ancient capital, such as bun bo (beef noodle soup) and banh ep (pressed rice paper cake).

Tam Nhu's father currently works as a construction driver, and her mother is an office worker. As the only child, she received their full love and affection. According to the beauty, her family's life isn't a struggle for daily meals, but they aren't overly wealthy either. Seeing her father's calloused hands, tanned skin, and weakening eyes, Tam Nhu hopes to achieve success soon to support her parents.
In recent years, she worked as a tutor to pay for her tuition and living expenses. Truong Tam Nhu, 21 years old, is 1.73 meters tall, weighs 53 kilograms, with body measurements of 77-60-90 centimeters. She was Miss FPT University Da Nang in 2024. She has participated in many extracurricular programs and English competitions, served as a media ambassador for the Young Leaders Conference in 2025, and engaged in activities providing skills and career guidance for students. The runner-up holds an IELTS 8.0 English certificate.
At Miss World Vietnam 2025, Tam Nhu scored well in several sub-competitions, including winning Queen Talk, making it to the top 5 'Nguoi dep Nhan ai' (Beauty with a Purpose), and top 6 'Nguoi dep Du lich' (Tourism Beauty).
