Pham My Linh has withdrawn from Miss Vietnam 2014 after she was accused of having had a nose job.

Linh said in the letter sent to the organising board that she wanted to withdraw from the contest because she could not bear the pressure of public opinion and because her family was opposed to her participation.

Before a press conference to announce the final round, the organisers received an anonymous letter denouncing Linh for violating the contest regulations by having comestic surgery. Upon entering the contest, Linh affirmed that she had not had such procedures done.

The orgnising board asked that she be examined by a doctor, who found no suspicious signs. Nonetheless, they set up an investigative panel to look into the case further. Linh agreed to cooperate, so her withdrawal letter came as a surprise to many.

Another candidate, Huynh Thi Thuy Van, also withdrew from the contest for health-related reasons. So, the final round will see the participation of only 38 contestants.

The final round will be held on December 6, and will feature a performance by Kelley Clarkson.
