What is the best advice you received on your Mister Supranational journey?
"The best advice I received was from Andre Sleigh. On the first day, he gave a speech about inspirational, aspirational. Aspirational means that you strive for something and inspirational means you have the ability to inspire people around you. I was very influenced by this speech and I adopt that as my motto."
Korea, Lee Young-woo
What is the most critical issue in the world today that you would wish to do something about?
"I thought that the world is now encounter some kind of war so we have to protect ourselves and then respect to someone who can protect me and my family. So, to me always respect the soldiers and then the veterans, always."
Spain, Iván Álvarez

The advice that I wanted to share with all the young people from all over the world is when you have any problems you have to get up, the problems will make you strong every day.
Netherlands, Luca Derin
What important qualities would bring as brand ambrassador to the Mister Supranational organization?
"The organization is searching for a person who can open his heart at any time, who can be the person who can be also in the same time an example for the world and to make the world kind of a better place for example, the people, the children. I think being humble, opening your heart, and being honest to the rest of the world, that will make you a gentleman, that will make you the next Mister Supranational."
Brazil, Henrique Martins
What has been the biggest challenge in your life and how did you overcome it?
Through life of course we always have ups and downs. During my career in swimming, I missed the Olympics for 200th of a second in 2012 so I had to work four more years to qualify for the 2016 Olympic games. So, even when you're struggling with it just keep going, just keep your head up and you can achieve your dreams.
