## Controversies

Prime Events Productions Philippines (PEPPS), Inc., which organizes the pageant, let go of Georgiev for failure to fulfill his duties as winner, declining to sign an exclusive contract with PEPPS and rejecting projects and appearances relevant to his role as Man of the World titleholder. First runner-up Jin Kyu Kim of South Korea took over the title on July 29, 2020.
