Mister International Taiwan is back in action. A total of 77 contestants signed up, resulting in 43 shortlisted contestants who come from all walks of life. There are police officers, doctors, engineers, spokespersons, free-diving instructors, and more. They all work hard to keep fit, practice their talents and runway walks for the competition. Some contestants even tried intermittent fasting.
Yang lin
Contestant
When I learned about this event, do you know what intermittent fasting is? I hardly ate. I wanted to participate this time because everyone thinks that engineers are geeks, and perhaps think they are gamers who stay at home and watch anime. I want to use this opportunity of Mister International Taiwan to help everyone change this image of geeks.
Yu Wen-wei
Contestant
When I signed up, I was already working out vigorously. I lost 6 kilograms. When we police officers are on duty, we work at least 12 hours. I will still go to the gym, practice dancing, and my talent after work.
Leon Wu
Contestant
I am a free diving snorkeling instructor. I wanted to participate in Mister International Taiwan this time because I want to get out of my comfort zone and challenge myself.
The preliminary round included a fashion show, a swimsuit show, and a Q&A segment. Five contestants will be selected to represent Taiwan at the Mister Friendship International Competition in December.
Joe Kampol Thongchai
Mister Friendship International president
We decided to be here in December because of the culture, the landscape, the city, the people, and the food. There are so many things that Taiwan can offer to candidates from around the world.
The Mister Friendship International will hold its global finals in Taiwan in December this year. Representatives from over 30 countries will compete for the crown.
