"[W]ho will represent Vietnam in Miss Universe 2010 pageant?", the VietnamNet newspaper arranged an interview with Mrs Le Diệm Le, marketing manager of Unicorp, the company responsible for sending Vietnamese representatives to Miss Universe pageants. And the answer is "No". According to Mrs Le Diệm Le, Unicorp could not find a suitable candidate to represent Vietnam in Miss Universe 2010, so they decided to drop out of the Pageant.
