The “big showdown” on Nguyen Hue walking street was one of the most talked-about events online over a decade ago.
It all started from personal conflicts between two girls, Hứa Vy (Đoàn Thanh Thúy Vi) and Thanh Vân (Võ Huỳnh Thanh Vân), which drew crowds eager to catch the drama unfold. In the end, Thanh Vân didn’t show up, while Hứa Vy and a few others were taken by authorities for causing public disorder. Many netizens still remember this uproar vividly.

One of the triggers was body shaming aimed at Thanh Vân’s appearance. Back then, her look was considered plain, and she was teased by many, including Hứa Vy, as the “square-faced hot girl.”
After numerous beauty makeovers, Thanh Vân has transformed into a much more attractive and standout figure. With her new look, she frequently posts videos and photos showing off her figure in revealing outfits. She even ventured into beauty pageants, winning 3rd runner-up at the Global Perfect Beauty contest. Her style and image have often been compared to Ngân 98’s.
In the world of online “hot girls,” building a sexy image to gain followers is nothing new.
However, Thanh Vân has become the center of heated debates. Her daring photos and sexy dance videos in skimpy outfits have sparked waves of criticism online. Many believe she’s crossing the line and using her body to chase fame.

Thanh Vân often appears in outfits with extreme cuts and minimal coverage that make viewers blush. Beyond the clothing, her poses in recent shoots have been called vulgar, seemingly designed to flaunt sensitive body parts rather than celebrate artistic beauty. Most netizens express disappointment over her negative transformation. She’s been labeled tasteless. Overusing “wearing almost nothing” clothes and provocative dance moves has seriously damaged her public image.
The cost of chasing fame at any price
In the digital age, views and followers can translate into money and fame. This is why many hot girls choose the quickest path: creating scandals to grab attention. But the price is often steep. Today’s audience is smart enough to tell real art from cheap stunts.


The online backlash against Thanh Vân reflects the community’s strict stance against unhealthy content.
