Sen Vang: The Beauty Queen Training Drama Unfolds
Let’s chat about Sen Vang and their obsession with being the top dog in beauty queen training in Vietnam. They’ve been churning out pageants and PR for homegrown talents. But totally missed the chance to organize major contests. Now their brand rep is looking meh.
With competitors like Huynh Tran Y Nhi and Vo Le Que Anh swooping in, Sen Vang’s image is taking a nosedive, and even Mrs. Phạm Kim Dung is feeling the heat. She’s getting roasted left and right!
Now they’re trying to save face with some internationally crowned beauties. But the way they treat homegrown talents? Yikes!
So, how does Sen Vang bounce back from this mess? Can they rebuild public trust, or are they destined to be the laughing stock of the beauty scene?

Are these luxury brands seriously out of juice?
Moschino, once a legend, now a meme factory. From iconic to iconic-ally weird. (ảnh cầm bó cần tây)
What in the actual heck is happening over at Moschino HQ?
Vietnam, we’re turning 5k celery into a 102M masterpiece. Talk about value for money, amirite?
Moschino, you’re giving us major secondhand embarrassment.
Erm… From farm to fashion runway. A 1.150 USD rubber boot? Someone call the fashion police. (ảnh bốt channel cao su)
Is this the beginning of the end for high fashion? Only time will tell.
Katinat made a what??

Katinat is killing it(self)
From our previous episode, we all know Katinat is a hypocrite, yes. But if we look much closer, we can definitely confirm it’s a den of sins.
So on a totally good day, one of us stumbled upon the Katinat and saw this, and we immediately know sh*t’s up. So we did some digging, and indeed found something swept under the rug.
To oversimplify, Katinat’s staffs made a customer, who preordered, wait for an hour and a half for a drink. Did the customer ask for liquid gold and 100 modifications to take that long?
Oh no, it’s just that the barista did the order and left it ferment in a corner for an hour, while marking it as completed. Really leaves you speechless, doesn’t it?
And that’s not even the worst part, the attitude of the staff is. No apologies, constant waiting, blaming, etc. Attitude isn’t on the menu, but it’s definitely served.
Even more shockingly, this ain’t the first offence. This brand is notorious for upsizing drinks without customer’s input. This is kinda illegal, innit?
Unprofessionalism, fraud and malpractice, these charges already mean capital punishment for the netizens. Don’t let this go unnoticed, people.

How to not kill yourself with Iced Tea
Whenever you open a fridge in a convenient store, you are greeted with a hundred options. So choose what to not poison yourself? Let TWC help you out.
Let’s start with our childhood sweetheart, the C2. A pretty good drink if you are lacking in tons of sugar and lead. 4/10.
Another classic is the Trà xanh không độ. Well, not the best but there’s points for nostalgia. 7/10
The ones on the rise these days are Boncha and Búp non. Buy them if you wanna have those cheap moments with your idols, or speedrun diabetes. 6/10
Fuze tea does taste less like sugar and a little bit more tea. 7.5/10
And now for the hidden gem: Lipton Iced Tea. This shockingly tastes like actual tea, as expected by Lipton. 8/10
Now next time you are in a Circle K, make smart choices. You have been warned.

We got sued.. :(
We, TWC COMMUNICATION CO., LTD, are extremely sorry for the wrong approachment about the products of Emmié by Happyskin, most particularly on the Vietnam Mask Collection 2024.
We, understand that what we earlier posted was false and that this has in no doubt caused unnecessary issues and negative ideas about Emmié by Happyskin. More specifically, TWC was driving the story in a unnecessary way by saying the product name Ho Chi Minh on the packaging of the paper mask product named Vietnam Mask Collection 2024 is aiming for Uncle Ho’s personal name.
Our content was meant for fun at anytime and point, but we also acknowledge whether it hurts the brands or not. It does this time. We highly regard this as a leason and make sure it wouldn’t happen again. Hoping Emmies x TWC soon?
Sincerely,
TWC Communication

L’seoul - Are u Korean brands?
A Vietnamese brand is called L’seoul, the capital of South Korea, but not L’Hanoi? Like, how many international customers are even aware that this is a Vietnamese brand?
But VNESE brand? seriously?
L’seoul is a little overrated? Esp, when Jennie from Blackpink strutted around in their collection, it was like a damn earthquake. But don’t forget the flood of comments dragging them for poor product quality (cue screenshot here).
However, they finally decided to change “ L-Seoul” to “ L’Soul” ( icon thở phào hề hề) as TWC latest information
Here is some advice for L’seoul or soul or something “ if you are trying to get people to recognize they’re a Vietnamese brand, you might as well just drop the damn name entirely.”

Temu - What is your motivator?

Temu Too Good to Be True?
Temu, that sneaky e-commerce giant, just swooped into the Vietnamese market, ready to battle Shopee.
They’re pulling out all the stops with HUGE discounts and insane commission rates to lure us in. It’s like a Black Friday sale on steroids, but with a twist.
“MMO insiders belike”: money money money falls
But let’s be real, Temu’s jacking up prices and then throwing in those massive discount vouchers. But what you get in return?
*A product that’s about as exciting as a soggy noodle.
And let’s not forget the allegations of dangerous substances in their products. Yikes! It’s like a real-life horror movie, but with cheaper clothes. (Erm…. Shein’s sibling)
So, who’s their target market? People who want to play Russian roulette with their health?
What’s the real reason behind Temu’s invasion? Is it world domination, or are they just bored?

Desperate for a Rebrand
Following the footsteps of rebranding big-time brands like Vinamilk and Pepsi, brand B has dropped the ball on their shoe game and levelled up to a full-on fashion-lifestyle brand.
Can you crack the code??
After 8 long naps, Bitis (basically Vietnam’s baby) finally got a makeover. They’re trying to look cool and trendy, but it’s kinda... oof.
Erm…. Looks like our little guy is feeling a bit insecure because the giants like Nike and Adidas are casting a huge shadow. You know what they say, ‘If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em’ – or at least try to copy them.
TBH, we’re not feeling it. It’s kinda basic.
“Bitis, are you listening? Your competitors are lapping you up in the R&D race. Wake up and smell the coffee!”
Seriously, Bitis. Your marketing is on point, but your product is falling short. Are your quality and design still from the Stone Age?

How Circle K defined convenient stores
The word “convenient store” probably doesn’t exist in many Hanoians’ dictionaries, as their mind automatically assume Circle K. Why’s that?
To people anywhere else, Circle K is just one of the stores. But in Hanoi it is a fu***ng culture.
End of the month people waiting for their salaries? Circle K.
Chai lovers? Definitely Circle K. (*Chai: Trà thái)
Night owls and rappers? Nowhere else welcomes them but Circle K.
There’s just something so homie in a weirdly overpriced place like it. Dunno, maybe you tell us?

KFC - You have my APOLOGIES
In the previous episode, KFC dropped a “Chicken Flavor Incense” collab out of nowhere, and Asian was like, “WTF, are they mocking our culture?
Okay, we’re sorry for the overreaction, KFC. We guess you had a plan all along. Our bad!
Turns out, KFC was low-key planning their “Believe in Chicken” campaign for a whole year. Sneaky.
I’m totally on board with KFC now.
Let’s be honest, all these ‘KOLs’, ‘Thread Citizens” talking about making billions are just full of BS. Their ‘life hacks’ are more like ‘life hacks for wannabes.
As the wise words of Martin Rose -the creative genius behind this campaign, said: ‘Fried chicken, It’s always delicious, always there, and always crispy.’ Amen to that.
