Man of the Year 2019 Lee Ho Jin (이호진), 29, of South Korea will crown his successor in Bali, Indonesia on August 21, 2022. It is the fifth edition of the international male beauty pageant.

Lee was crowned Man of the Year 2019 in Yangon, Myanmar on September 24, 2019. He was not able to crown his successor in 2020 and 2021 amid the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

.

Runner-up to Lee was Tuong Ngoc Minh of Vietnam. The respective second, third and fourth runners-up were Ryandi Anugerah Putra of Indonesia, Cristian Moral Parra of Spain and Chit Ko Ko Hut of Myanmar.

From 22 candidates, only 14 are currently in Bali vying for the Man of the Year 2022 title. After checking their photos, videos and profiles, I picked the five candidates who I believe will make it to the top:
