Tóc Tiên — “Em Tiên”
Where would you put Vietnam? Rank all 11
Vietnam Television's entertainment channel, VTV3, was confirmed as Vietnam's broadcaster in the contest's original 31 March announcement. After months of silence that made Vietnam the last country in the field to announce anything, it moved quickly in September.
Vietnam selected Tóc Tiên internally, confirmed by VTV in early September and by organisers on 16 September. The Sound of Vietnam then decided which of five songs she performs in Bangkok, rather than which artist goes.
The show aired on Saturday 3 October from Zoom Media's studios in Ho Chi Minh City, hosted by Đức Bảo. "Em Tiên" won, chosen by 40% professional jury, 40% Vietnamese public and 20% Rest of the World. It is sung in Vietnamese and written by Trần Thị Thu Hà; the contest credits it to the creative team S•HUBE, with DUONGK producing.
VTV announced the winning song only, without points or an order for the other four. Full detail is in our Sound of Vietnam result, and her background is in our profile of Tóc Tiên.
During the pre-announcement speculation in 2025, Ho Chi Minh City broadcaster HTV had briefly scheduled a programme titled "Eurovision Asia" for 31 August before it disappeared from listings — a different broadcaster to VTV3, and not something that has been explained. It surfaced during the same period as Bhutan's abandoned Druk Dra selection, covered in our piece on that shutdown.
