After Vo Le Que Anh crowned Miss Grand Vietnam 2024, rumors spread that she is the niece of director Hoang Nhat Nam. The insiders immediately denied it. On his personal page, the director of the Miss Grand Vietnam 2024 contest said that he and Miss Vo Le Que Anh no relation
Director Hoang Nhat Nam met Que Anh in 2020. At that time, he was a judge of the Hue University Beauty Pageant – a contest in which Que Anh participated and won the second runner-up prize.
After that, the top 3 Miss Hue universities were persuaded by the organizers to participate in the Miss Vietnam 2020 contest. Que Anh participated and stopped after the national final night.
In 2022, director Hoang Nhat Nam was invited to be a judge for the Miss Tourism Da Nang contest – a contest in which Que Anh participated and won the title of first runner-up. After the contests, Que Anh kept in touch with director Hoang Nhat Nam’s Sen Vang company.
The company invited Que Anh to participate in charity activities, cultural exchanges, and fashion shows in Da Nang. “Keeping in touch with contestants after the contest in cultural and social activities is normal in beauty contests,” said Hoang Nhat Nam.

According to the male director, in Da Nang, Que Anh works as a model, so his relatives invited her to take photos and promote products with many other famous beauties in Da Nang.
The male director explained about the photo that appeared online that the audience thought was Que Anh, his family member: “In addition to Que Anh, the photo also shows Miss Vietnam 2022 Thanh Thuy, Ao Dai beauty Kieu Vy wishing Tet at my house and beauty queens and runners-up in Da Nang city participating in product promotion photo shoots. This is not strange in the advertising field.
Through that, I need to reaffirm that Que Anh is not my niece or relative, and is not a close person to me. Up to now, the relationship between Que Anh and us is a working and communication relationship,” Hoang Nhat Nam expressed.
In addition to clarifying that Que Anh is not her niece, the director spoke up about the judges choosing Que Anh as the new beauty queen. He wrote: “Up until now, the judges have always kept it absolutely confidential, not sharing the specific reasons for choosing this beauty to win instead of another contestant (even though the audience commented that the girl who did not make it to the top was more outstanding than the beauty queen).
More than anyone else, we have the job of researching and verifying the background of the contestants. We do not want to disclose any private information about the contestants to the public. That may cause the audience to not fully agree with the results, but we still choose to keep the information confidential to protect the image of the contestants participating in the contest.
Our long-standing solution has been to take practical action and make efforts to improve the image of the contest winner. However, the situation of extremist audiences attacking social networks, degrading the dignity of others, attacking sponsors, brands, corporate partners, and sending letters to the Miss Grand International organization has made us worried.
That not only affects the beauty queen’s reputation, but also harms our company’s operations.
At Miss Grand Vietnam 2024, the selection Que Anh is a beauty queen is the result of a journey of observation, accompanying the contestants for nearly a month from the organizers and judges. We choose the winner based on many factors, scoring many accompanying activities, not just the contestants’ performance in the final night.
To beauty fans and audiences who have supported the Golden Lotus contest over the years, the beauty contest is a playground and opportunity for beauties to challenge themselves and show their talents to the audience.
The judges always try to send the positive side of the contestants and beauties to the audience, absolutely protect the contestants’ image, and respect the next journey of the beauties.
Therefore, we hope that beauty fans will respect the contestants, stop spreading negative information, creating hatred between beauties, leading to the degradation and defamation of others with hurtful words and images.”
