HCM CITY — The fourth season of modelling reality TV show The Face Vietnam has opened in HCM City.

Thousands of contestants, female and male, are expected to participate in the show’s qualifying round held in the city and Hà Nội.

Fifteen best contestants will be chosen for the final round held in the city next month.

During the final round, they will be coached by the show’s chief mentors as well as local and foreign fashion industry insiders to compete for The Face Vietnam title.

This year, the show brings together Vietnamese models and actresses Anh Thư and Vũ Thu Phương as mentors.

Thư rose to fame in 2000 as a model and has won many modelling prizes. She has also appeared in Vietnamese movies and TV series like Những Cô Gái Chân Dài (Catwalk Girls), a film about the backstage life of fashion models directed by Vũ Ngọc Đãng, which won the Silver Lotus award at the 14th National Film Festival in 2004.

Phương began her career as a model in 2008 after winning the the national modelling competition and quickly gained success in the modelling and film industries.

She announced her retirement in 2011, then returned as a judge of the Miss Universe Việt Nam pageant in 2019 and 2022.

Model Minh Triệu is paired with Miss Việt Nam 2014 Kỳ Duyên to become the other mentoring duo for the show.

Makeup artist Nam Trung, who hosted several modelling and fashion TV reality shows, is the host of The Face Vietnam 2022.
