Pham Tuan Ngoc, born in 1999, impressed with his height of 1.83 m. He graduated with a degree in English from the National Economics University.

Tuan Ngoc reveals details about his new role.
After the competition, Tuan Ngoc actively pursued his artistic career, becoming a runway model for many designers and also hosting numerous competitions. Recently, he attracted attention for his role as an image ambassador for the "Beauty of University Students" competition at the University of Industry and Trade.
He expressed his honor and shared: "The most important criterion for me is not whether someone is the most talented, has the biggest project, the best on the catwalk , or the prettiest, but rather someone who can balance all of these qualities. When interacting with them, you have to feel their charisma."
According to Tuan Ngoc, the organizers will assess the contestants' work ethic, lifestyle, and behavior to make appropriate evaluations. The 9X model said: "They may not be the best in one area, but they are well-balanced. And when you interact with them, you can feel their energy."
The "Beauty of University Students" contest returns on an expanded scale, with more systematic and professional investment compared to its first season. According to the organizers, the contest not only celebrates all-around beauty but also inspires the pioneering spirit and dedication of young people in their journey to contribute to the nation in the new era of development.
Through this, the organizers hope to find and honor students who possess intelligence, courage, talent, and modern beauty. From there, they aim to spread the image of a dynamic, creative, integrated, and socially responsible generation of HUIT students. Regarding the judging criteria, MC Quynh Hoa stated that she requires knowledge of the students' character and resilience. According to her, contestants must demonstrate the qualities and identity of HUIT students compared to those from other universities.
First runner-up Ngoc Trang, in her role as image ambassador, said: "When mentioning students of the University of Industry and Trade, I think you should just be yourselves, confidently shine, and express yourselves in your own way. This year's competition has been meticulously and professionally organized by the university, and I hope you will break through and bring your dreams and aspirations to prove yourselves, deserving of the highest title."
The final round is scheduled to take place on July 25th. Contestants will compete in a series of events including group name-calling, traditional Vietnamese dress (Ao Dai) presentation (30 contestants), evening gown presentation (20 contestants), presentation round (10 contestants), and Q&A round (6 contestants) to determine the winner.
