In the said statement, Dickinson reveals that there were problems with how the local organizers were handling the preparations during his recent trip to Vietnam. Stating that:
On arriving to Ho Chi Minh City, it became very clear that my concerns were indeed warranted, and things were not progressing as we’d been led to believe.
He discloses that there were complications due to a lack of sponsors, which included support for accommodations, as well as the head organizer’s illness, which necessitated a significant surgery.
On December 3, 2022, the pageant announces Vietnam as the host country through a social media post.
Furthermore, Dickinson also mentions a potential conflict of interest given that the competition will begin concurrently with the Miss Universe 2023 finals. He expects that the media and fans will be focusing on the event which will be on November in El Salvador.
Taking everything into consideration, the 22nd Manhunt International will now take place in Thailand in February of the following year.
Known as the world’s first and longest running international male model contest, a strong turnout of candidates will be competing for the title. Lochlan “Lochie” Carey, the reigning Manhunt International 2022 from Australia will be crowning his successor.
Kenneth Stromsnes, Mister Pilipinas Manhunt Supermodel 2023 will be representing the Philippines in the pageant.
