Male pageantry took centerstage Sunday with the crowning of Korean hunk Jinkyu Kim as the reigning Man of the World 2021 King to drum up publicity for the fourth edition of the pageant to be held in the Philippines this June.

An ecstatic Kim received the new Man of the World crown, crafted in Venezuela, from pageant organizer Carlo Morris Galang of Prime Events Productions Philippines at a media presentation at Okada Hotel.

Kissing the crown, the model-actor told ABS-CBN News it was a joyful moment to finally re-establish his physical presence in the Philippines with the easing of the pandemic.
