During a TikTok livestream on the evening of October 14th, Nawat Itsaragrisil, President of Miss Grand International, attracted attention with his comments on Emoura Pham's performance at this year's competition. According to him, the Vietnamese representative had some limitations in her communication, expressions, and responses to questions, which prevented her from creating a genuine impression on stage.
Specifically, when discussing Emoura Pham's presentation on peace, Nawat commented: "The way she spoke was like she was giving a speech." The Miss Grand International president felt that the Vietnamese representative had an overly serious expression, unnatural gaze, and her delivery sounded like she had memorized it beforehand.
