Yen Nhi, the reigning queen, participated in the final on the evening of 31/7 in TP HCM. The event began with her performing a synchronized routine alongside the top 30 contestants to vibrant music. She then made a grand entrance on a motorcycle.
As she rode the motorcycle to the center of the stage, she lost her balance, braked suddenly, and fell sprawling. Despite the pain, Yen Nhi quickly stood up and completed her performance to cheers from the audience. According to her team, she only sustained scratches on her leg, thanks to protective gear like a helmet.

The incident did not affect her final walk in the later segment. As she walked on stage, she emotionally recalled the moment she was crowned queen one year ago. "I am always grateful for the love and encouragement from everyone throughout this journey. Every stage, work experience, and encounter has become a memory I will always cherish", she said.

Reflecting on the past year, from being a little-known student to holding the title of queen, Yen Nhi stated she has changed positively in both thought and action. She believes her greatest success is not fame, but personal growth. After her coronation, she faced mixed opinions about her beauty and conduct. At times, she felt sad and cried backstage, but kept it private. Instead, Yen Nhi chose to listen to feedback to improve herself. "I know that effort alone is not enough; it requires more courage, clarity, and strength to confront doubts", she said.

Yen Nhi overcame a period of pressure with the moral support of her family. She was born into a poor working-class family in Dak Lak; her father worked as a bricklayer's assistant, and her mother sold lottery tickets for over 20 years to make a living. Thanks to her involvement in showbiz, her work became stable, providing income, allowing Yen Nhi to renovate her parents' home in her hometown after a flood.
Nguyen Van Hien, 49, expressed pride in Yen Nhi's efforts and filial piety. "She not only helped the family renovate the house but also covered my hospital fees and medication during my illnesses", he said.
