Born and raised in Hai Duong, Mac Huyen Tong is not only a talented young woman but also a significant source of inspiration for the younger generation. Coming from a family with three generations of educators, she has overcome numerous barriers to pursue her passion for the arts. Now, at the age of 22, Huyen Tong is not only an outstanding Marketing student but also a model and KOL loved by many brands. Soon, she will officially participate in Global Student Fashion Week 2025 as a Global Student Model Ambassador.
From impressive achievements to grand aspirations
Huyen Tong is a living testament to relentless effort. She won the title of First Runner-up at the Miss & Mister Hanoi 2023 competition and became a media ambassador for major events such as FPT Edu’s Got Talent and the charity campaign "Dong Am 2024 – Sow the Seeds of Dreams." Additionally, she is the exclusive KOL for Chiha Corp, a position that affirms her talent and professionalism in the fields of art and promotion.
However, what Huyen Tong is most proud of is not the glamorous titles but the positive spirit and confidence that she always maintains. With the philosophy: "Each person is born with a unique color. Keep improving your mind and soul to become a young generation with talent, heart, and virtue in modern society," she has inspired many young people seeking motivation to pursue their dreams.
The journey of overcoming challenges to live true to passion
As a girl from a family with a strong educational background, choosing art as a primary path was a significant challenge for Huyen Tong. From her school days, she expressed her desire to live and showcase her personality through art. However, to gain recognition from her family, she spent 5 years persistently proving that her passion did not hinder her studies but rather helped her develop more comprehensively. She shares, “Now, my family is very proud when talking about me. That is the happiest thing, and I know the path I chose is the right one.”
This journey not only affirms her talent but also serves as evidence of her perseverance and ability to balance academic responsibilities with artistic activities – what she considers her biggest challenge. As a Gen Z model, Huyen Tong understands her generation's strengths and weaknesses. She encourages young people to keep creating, honing their life skills, and maintaining a positive spirit. The beauty from Hai Duong advises, “Love your work, because the way you do one thing is the way you do everything. Today’s thoughts and actions will shape tomorrow’s results.”
Big dreams - becoming an influencer to benefit society
Huyen Tong's aspirations go beyond building her personal image; she aims for a higher goal: to become an influencer contributing to society. She believes that an influencer needs not only confidence and excellent communication skills but also sincerity, commitment, and a willingness to listen to the community. “This dream is not just about personal success but also about the desire to create positive value for society. I want everyone to have equal opportunities and live in a healthy environment,” Huyen Tong expresses.
Participating in Global Student Fashion Week 2025 as a Global Student Model Ambassador, Huyen Tong once again affirms the recognition of her efforts and achievements. This is not only an opportunity for her to share her story with international friends but also a mission to inspire others. “In this role, I hope to encourage young people to confidently express themselves and dare to pursue their dreams. Believe that with enough perseverance and effort, any goal can be achieved,” she shares passionately.
With an inspiring journey and a spirit of continuous learning, Mac Huyen Tong is not only a pride for her family but also an excellent representative of the young generation of Vietnam on the international stage.
