In an interview shortly after her coronation, she continued to cause controversy with her statement about her peers. According to her, while Vietnamese youth of her age spent their time sleeping, playing, and drinking milk tea, she participated in the Miss pageant; therefore, she is now more mature, has become a Miss, and has a job while other young people are still students or both studying and working.

The lack of culture makes her look ridiculous... Nowadays, most 4-year-old children already know who to greet before coming home from kindergarten."
