Last September 08, 2017 (Friday), 29 dashing male finalists competed in the prestigious male beauty pageant, Manhunt Singapore 2017 (junior and senior categories). From as young as 19 years old to as mature as 52 years old, these men come from diverse backgrounds and careers ranging from students to fitness trainers, tech start-up owners, airline executives, chiropractors, and firefighters.

Beyond showcasing their eight-packs, the competition also displayed everyone’s talents, confidence, and wit. From swimwear to formal attire and to the question & answer rounds, these men surprised the audience with their overwhelming charm and exuberant appeal on stage. Worthy to note is that several candidates repeatedly mentioned “being true to yourself” in the Q&A segment. For most of them, they consider this an essential element in winning the competition and to succeed in life. Clearly, in this day and age, honesty and authenticity matter to everyone.

In the end, hunky Damien Koh (#S6) and charming Simon Shen (#10) won in their respective categories. Here’s the full list of winners:
