## Organizational dispute

The Mister International 2022 pageant was the last undisputed edition of the competition. After the passing of its Singaporean founder, Alan Sim, in October 2022, the pageant entered a leadership crisis. Two individuals, Pradit Pradinunt from Thailand and Manuel Deldio from the Philippines, each claimed authority over the title, resulting in the emergence of two separate 15th editions of the pageant. On September 17, 2023, Kim Goodburn won the 15th Mister International competition held at the Crystal Design Center Ballroom in Khwaeng Khlong Chan, Bangkok, Thailand. A month later, on October 20, 2023, José Calle from Spain was awarded the same title at the Cordillera Convention Center, Baguio Country Club, in Baguio, Philippines.
