When it comes to the cosplay community, viewers can easily imagine cosplayers in elaborate costumes, unique hairstyles, and eye-catching accessories as if they stepped out from popular anime or game titles. Also making a mark in such appearances, Nguyen Minh Anh is one of the top beautiful cosplayers, associated with intricate role-playing projects, rising as a “cosplay goddess” in the hearts of fans, becoming the center of attention at events.
Not stopping there, Minh Anh’s everyday images radiate a fairy-like aura, with delicate beauty, long eyelashes, pursed lips, and a gentle gaze hiding a hint of mystique. She effortlessly creates photo sets that leave people captivated.
With a significant number of fans, many male admirers have even expressed their sincere feelings towards her. However, this has put the female cosplayer in a difficult position. Faced with the frequent influx of flirty messages from male fans, what initially felt cute has gradually become exhausting. Minh Anh shared her thoughts on her personal Facebook: “Guys, please stop flirting with me or sending me flirty messages. I’m shy and don’t dare to reply, if you say I’m aloof, I’m suffering too.”
The female cosplayer further mentioned that her appearance is not as perfect as the photos online, which have been edited, and she worries about viewers being “disillusioned”: “Moreover, I’m very different in reality, so don’t believe everything you see; I’m just an illusion. I also have no desire to get into any relationship or anything romantic, so please understand me. If you read this, please stop, I don’t want to say it directly.”
Many may argue that this is simply fan affection, but the reality is that the person involved feels a lot of pressure. Specifically, it’s a challenge to maintain good interaction with fans while not being reduced to a “dating chair”. Minh Anh’s statement is seen as a way to “please some while displeasing others,” limiting the presence of “obsessive fans” or the risk of impacting her real life. She hopes fans can love and support her, but please do not turn cosplay into… a dating platform.
