Vietnamese nominees for TC Candler 2026 rankings

Overview

In July 2026, Vietnamese entertainers began appearing on the internationally watched TC Candler rankings. On 22 July, comedian-host Trấn Thành was listed among the nominees for the “Top 100 Handsome Faces” list, prompting social-media commentary that mixed surprise, jokes about the selection criteria, and humor from the MC himself. The same announcement noted that other Vietnamese artists such as Sơn Tùng M-TP, Isaac, Hieuthuhai, and actor Quốc Anh were also nominated, widening the representation.

Six days later, on 28 July, pop-ballad singer and television presenter Ngô Kiến Huy received a nomination for the same “Handsome Faces” ranking, with coverage highlighting his two-decade career and hosting duties. On 31 July, actress Kim Tuyến became the first Vietnamese artist on TC Candler’s “100 Most Beautiful Faces” 2026 list, while singer Isaac – formerly of 365daband – also appeared, further raising Vietnam’s visibility in the beauty-focused rankings.

The following week, on 6 August, actor Võ Điền Gia Huy was named among the Top 100 Handsome Faces. His nomination coincided with a public appearance featuring a markedly lighter “tea-milk” brown hairstyle and bolder makeup, drawing polarized fan reactions that praised his fresh look or criticised the change as mismatched with his image. Collectively, these nominations underscore a growing international profile for Vietnam’s entertainment figures and have sparked enthusiastic fan reactions and online discussion.
