“ Vietnam's Next Top Model is a place for seeking and training girls truly having desires to turn into professional models. By that, I choose this place to convey my all enthusiasm to fashion, modelling career in Vietnam. ”

—Xuân Lan,[6] report from VnExpress

Development, production and marketing

Right at the end of the first season finale, it was confirmed that the show has been renewed for a second season. Future contestants can apply for the second cycle with requirement as mentioned above.[7] Production was stated to start from March 2011.[8] All the application forms must be sent by June 2011.

XoneFM, owned by VOV, joins hands to promote the program's audition dates and launch during many of its programs.

Auditions

Open auditions will be held in the following cities:

Audition City Date Venue
Open Callback
Ho Chi Minh City August 16, 2011 August 17&18 Riverside Palace
Hanoi August 23, 2011 August 24&25 The Garden Shopping Center (open)
InterContinental Hanoi Westlake (callback)

After audition process for 2011 ended, new process for 2012 kicks off. Applicants have approximately a year to apply forms.

Online Photo Model

Besides auditioning as usual, contestants were recruited from two new methods. The first one is Online Photo Model contest. The winners after several rounds of gaining votes would be through to the semifinals. As of the beginning of casting process, six girls have been picked.

Hunting Model

Hunting Model was the other event in which selected audience prominently on behalf of producers had the right to invite featured candidates in ordinary life for auditioning.

Prizes

The winner this year will receive a modelling contract with BeU Model Management worth 1,000,000,000₫ (approximately $50,000), a cover and a spread on Her World magazine together with 200,000,000₫ in cash (~$9,600), a VIP Diamond Membership card at California Fitness & Yoga Center (~$14,400). Also, she will have a trip to Paris for training and herself finding international agency supported by Bourjois Cosmetics and many more additional prizes to be announced as well.

Controversies

New set of judges which were introduced on the first day of audition brings much happiness and excitement to audience. Some critics, however, have complained that this panel, which boasts loads of fashion industry expertise in Vietnam, but has no international experience is in contrast with axed panels.[9]

Put back the purpose of the competition, I personally appreciate last year qualification of the show and finallists over this year at the same time [of consideration]. This year girls remain [up to now] I find most of them all have troubles of measurement.

— Ms. Thúy Nga, the Director of Elite Vietnam[10]

Ms. Thúy Nga from Elite Vietnam responded through an interview with VTC News about qualification of a Top Model. She stated mostly body shapes of finallists are rough, not proportioned and the face of no one has inspired her. She also emphasized 'being a Top Model for 3 months is unbelievable'. She thought the competition is possibly considered a game show of recreation, so in this point of view audience should be softer and get funnier when watching.

Beside, judges and finallists are harshly criticized. Public reports pointed out judges acted to cast member in a very unacceptable manner. If the judges worried about someone's potential or they don't feel quite comfortable with finallists' behaviours they are able to disqualify them rather than shout at and trash them.[11][12][13] And to cast member, for example, Lê Thúy's crying prior to overcoming troubles, the request from Xuân Lan for contestant Lê Phương to praise her attractiveness over landscape, Khánh Linh's eligibility for VNTM only by jumping to swimming pool during cold weather or times of hardly reasonable circumstances turn viewers confused. The question was spontaneously created why contestants make themselves inferior and endure being blamed.[12] BUT overall as can be showned the girls have extremely strong desire to have lifetime-changing chance regarding fame and they will do whatever to achieve it even they must pay for it.

Like other NTM franchises, the results of unaired episodes have been leaked out. Representative of producers, Ms. Quỳnh Trang expresses daring to file lawsuit against Hoàng Oanh, Phương Nghi and another contestant (pointedly Thùy Dương) for spoiling and leaking info before the date on which they were officially evicted. Furthermore, Ms. Quỳnh Trang warned the other contestants and revealed the producers and the legal team are in progress of watching out.[14] In addition, three girls are axed from live final runway show.[15]

On the occasion of Halloween, this week's elimination shoot was all about the mysterious and spooky theme.

Therefore, immediately, the four remaining girls were put in a casting of Black Market, a fashion franchise in Singapore. Lê Thúy, Thùy Trang, and Hoàng Thùy with their limited English struggled to understand and communicate with the foreign producers; however, they all managed to do well.
