Background

editOn June 24, 2024, Miss Charm Organization announced that the competition would take place in Los Angles, California, United States between August 12-24, 2024.[1] However, on August 1, the event was postponed because many contestants had been facing difficulty in obtaining visa for the US; and was expected for another time and place.[2] It was disclosed later that a total of 11 contestants were deemed ineligible after their visa application interviews. Finally, on October 14, the organization made an announcement that this year's competition would officially return to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam between December 9-21, 2024.[3]
