Vietnam's representative Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc shone in the Asia & Oceania group. She and other contestants performed a group dance before entering her solo performance, introducing the image of Vietnamese culture to the international audience.
On stage, Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc performed in the costume 'Sunlight Lingering on the Horizon' designed by the duo Bui The Bao and Nguyen Nguyen Bao. The design was inspired by the image of Northwest young women in the Khen dance of the Mong ethnic group every spring. The costume is a harmony between the green of the mountains and forests, the pink of the flower season, and brocade patterns rich in highland identity.
