Mister Global, an annual beauty pageant for men, has been around for five years and just crowned its 2019 winner.

Korea‘s Jong Woo Kim was handed the crown during the finals held last week in Bangkok.

The 23-year-old police administration student beat 37 other competitors to win the contest.

Runners up include Tunisia’s Houssem Saïdi, second runner-up José Luis Rodrigo Navarro from Spain, third runner-up Kenan Murseli from Switzerland, and fourth runner-up Braulio Encarnación from the Dominican Republic.

As part of the competition, each model was asked to wear their national dress to represent their country’s heritage.

While that included some spectacular outfits, the competition doesn’t just operate on an aesthetic level. Each contestant has to show environmental awareness and work with different charities and projects.

As part of the Inspiring Gentleman category, the Mister Global competition was able to raise money for an organisation that takes care of elephants in Thailand.

The winner, Jong Woo Kim is expected to now become an inspirational role model for young men all around the world.

But his victory was predicted by the folks at Missosology who report on all things pageant. The overall coordinator of the contest told Metro.co.uk that Jong Woo Kim was predicted to win as he was really a strong candidate.

Of course, the other contestants were also dazzling. Take a look at them below, each in their national dress.
