Former Vietnamese beauty pageant winners, including Nguyễn Thị Huyền (Miss Vietnam 2004) and Giáng My (1992 Hoa hậu Đền Hùng), have transitioned from public life toward private and academic pursuits.

Nguyễn Thị Huyền has moved away from the entertainment industry to focus on academia. After a 14-year academic journey, she recently defended her doctoral thesis in Journalism at the Academy of Journalism and Communication. She currently resides in Hanoi and focuses on teaching while raising three daughters.

Giáng My, residing in Ho Chi Minh City, has shared perspectives on her parenting philosophy, emphasizing the importance of independence and education for her daughter. She noted her preference for providing her daughter with tools for success rather than direct wealth, stating, ‘I want to give my daughter the whole asset, but I don't give her the fish, I give her the fishing rod.’
