The Second Runner-up of the pageant, Nguyễn Lâm Diễm Trang, also commented positively about Kỳ Duyên: “I think the Miss Vietnam title was well-deserved.

After winning the title, Kỳ Duyên became involved in several scandals regarding her behavior, including arriving late to press conferences, being caught smoking in a café, and being seen intoxicated after drinking too much alcohol at a bar.

On August 5, 2016, Tiền Phong, the unit responsible for organizing the Miss Vietnam 2014 contest, issued a disciplinary decision by reprimanding Kỳ Duyên for ‘smoking in public places’.

Additionally, she was stripped of the right to crown the new Miss Vietnam, and instead, the head of the organizing committee, Lê Xuân Sơn, and Phạm Thị Kim Dung, CEO of the co-organizing company Sen Vàng, would carry out this duty.

After being involved in previous scandals, her fashion modeling career experienced significant growth starting in early 2018, gaining recognition from the public.

Although she was not a professional model initially, her charismatic demeanor earned her the trust of many top local designers, who gave her the lead position in their fashion shows.

On stage, she also shared that she would immediately donate 500 million VND from her prize money to support the people of Vietnam affected by Typhoon Yagi (2024).
