Organizational dispute

The Mister International 2022 pageant was the last undisputed edition of the competition. After the passing of its Singaporean founder, Alan Sim, in October 2022, the pageant entered a leadership crisis. [15] Two individuals, Pradit Pradinunt from Thailand and Manuel Deldio from the Philippines, each claimed authority over the title, resulting in the emergence of two separate 15th editions of the pageant. [16] [17] On September 17, 2023, Kim Goodburn won the 15th Mister International competition held at the Crystal Design Center Ballroom in Khwaeng Khlong Chan, Bangkok, Thailand. [18] [19] A month later, on October 20, 2023, José Calle from Spain was awarded the same title at the Cordillera Convention Center, Baguio Country Club, in Baguio, Philippines. [20] [21] [22]
