Three years ago, the online community was abuzz with the “hot girl” phenomenon sparked by a stunning young woman. According to reports, she first captured attention during a talk show segment, drawing interest due to her charm and exceptionally good looks. Almost immediately, information about her began to surface. Her name is Hoài Thu (born in 2002), and she is currently enrolled in an international program specializing in Finance at the National Economics University in Hanoi.

On another occasion, she appeared on national television during a basketball match between Hanoi Buffaloes and Cantho Catfish. Although the camera only captured her for a few seconds, it was enough for Hoài Thu to impress the audience with her striking beauty and vibrant presence. The hot girl captivated viewers with her radiant smile and stylish outfit, showcasing her unique charm.

With her bright exterior, youthful energy, and confident demeanor, Hoài Thu quickly attracted a large following, especially among sports enthusiasts. The term “basketball hot girl” became a nickname closely associated with her, making her a familiar face across numerous news outlets and social media platforms.

Prior to her rise to fame, Thu often shared her passion for participating in extracurricular activities and sports, particularly basketball, indicating that her appearances on the court were not merely for show but stemmed from genuine interest. She frequently posted memorable photos with her favorite basketball team. Hoài Thu has also expressed her desire to maintain her natural beauty, opting not to alter her appearance significantly, which she believes should remain true to herself.
Recently, the online community has noted a “discrepancy” in her appearance. Videos featuring Hoài Thu have circulated widely on social media. Instead of the vibrant and youthful image she once projected, the public has encountered a different version of Hoài Thu, which seems to attract less attention compared to before.



One point that has caught the online community’s attention is the noticeable change in her appearance, which many describe as “losing her charm” compared to her earlier days. Comments such as “she’s not the same Hoài Thu from before,” “looks different,” and “doesn’t look the same,” have surfaced frequently under various posts. While she has attempted to enhance her image, it seems she has yet to fully win back the admiration of her audience.


Currently, she is focusing on creating content on TikTok and engaging with her audience through her videos. With 1.4 million followers, she continues to draw significant attention. Regardless of whether she is still viewed as a “basketball hot girl” by the public, the most important thing for her is to find peace and happiness in her life.
