On an episode of “Vietnam Super Model” this week, contestants had to prove their moral grit in a role-playing exercise in temptation. Actor Dai Nghia played the part of a wealthy solicitor of sex, offering US$2,000 to US$5,000 to hopeful models who had to demonstrate how they would respond.

“Actually, it’s hard to protect yourself from temptation once you’ve step into this career,” model Ngoc Quy said.
She had received similar offers in real life, “but always refused because I’m afraid it could destroy my whole life. I’ve seen many mirrors of it.”
The recent scandal, a celebrity prostitution ring that has incited public outrage, reminded Ngoc to take extra caution, she said.
Another competitor Thanh An said the industry is not all glamour. She said she modeled in Hanoi for four years but moved to Ho Chi Minh City, where she earns extra money at a yoga center and a sugarcane juice cart. But her focus is on modeling.
“I came to the competition to satisfy my dream of modeling,” she said. “The catwalk career in particular and jobs related to art have temptations, but it depends on you to not fall.”
Ngoc, too, said she is staying disciplined.
“My parents also worry about me, but I don’t think all models do bad things,” she said. “I’m still determined to do modeling.”
