Although Winter wasn’t able to defend his title, fellow Malaysian KyXy took this year’s title. That’s when things got even more interesting. After winning the contest, KyXy was asked to once again perform his winning macho man look. He humbly declined and pointed out that his girlfriend was watching and in the front row no less. Eri Neeman then called KyXy’s girlfriend on stage and asked to perform his winning macho man look for her instead.
