The Department of Performing Arts under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism approved the 24-year-old, 1.84m tall, Ngoc, who just won the silver prize at the Vietnam Supermodel contest in October.
Elite Vietnam Entertainment Group and Venus Model Agency will prepare costumes, necessary items and training for Ngoc to compete. He will depart for Taiwan on Thursday.
This year the contestant who has the highest vote at the website of the contest http://www.manhunt.com.sg/vote/vote.php will go straight to the final round.
The crowning night of Manhunt International 2010 will take place at Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall of Tung Hai University in Taizhong, Taiwan.
Vietnam has taken part in the contest since 2002 with the participation of supermodel Binh Minh. Ngo Tien Doan who competed at the contest in 2007 brought home the title for the model with best body, while model Nguyen Van Thinh came second in the online vote in 2008.
The Manhunt Contest started off in 1987, when Alex Liu, pageant director of Metromedia Singapore, decided to stage the first male model contest in Singapore.
