Phở King

    
Phở King is an annual male pageant hosted by UCSB's Vietnamese Student Association since 2002. The original purpose of the Phở King was to present an image of Asian males that did not coincide with common stereotypes of Asian Americans in mainstream media. Men from Vietnamese Student Associations all over Southern California come together to compete through modeling, questionnaire, and talent showcase segments for the title of 'Phở King'. Every year, the pageant is judged by a prominent social media figure in the Asian American community such as Motoki Maxted, Cathy Nguyen, Timothy Delaghetto, and AJ Rafael.
