Nhi (in short skirt and boots) and her fiancé Pham Nhat Minh Hoang were seen at various Tokyo locales, including Narita International Airport and the TeamLab Planets Tokyo, with their photos captured and shared on Facebook and TikTok.
Nhi was mask-free and smiled broadly upon noticing the camera, while Hoang occasionally spoke to his fiancée, marking their first public outing since announcing their engagement last month.
Nhi, 23, competed in the 2023 Miss International contest, securing a top 15 spot. Her fiancé, 25-year-old Hoang, leads an automobile company. His father Pham Nhat Vuong is recognized by Forbes as Vietnam’s richest man, with a net worth of US$5.2 billion as of Feb. 14.

The museum was founded in July 2018 by the art group teamLab, which consists of artists, programmers, engineers, CG designers, architects and many other experts. It provides visitors with vivid experiences through direct interaction with them.

The artworks are displayed in large spaces designed to create an immersive and emotional experience.
People go barefoot and immerse their entire bodies in the vast artworks together with others. The artworks change under the presence of people, blurring the perception of boundaries between the self and the works. Other people also create change in the artworks, blurring the boundaries between themselves and the works, and creating a continuity between the self, the art, and others, according to the museum's website.

Some of the famous works at the museum include "The Infinite Crystal Universe" - a space sparkling with countless LED lights, creating a magical crystal universe or "Expanding and Connecting Beyond the Body" - an interactive artwork where visitors can touch the balls to change the light and sound in the space.

The museum is also an ideal studio for visitors who enjoy photography and digital art. However, each gallery has a limited visiting time and tends to be crowded, making it challenging to take photos.

Tickets to the museum range from 2,700 yen to 3,200 yen (US$18-21) and can be purchased online. You can also buy tickets directly at the teamLab Planets ticket counter but visitors might have to wait in line for a long time, especially on busy days.
