MR ASIA 2005

Let's turn back the clock and return to 2005. A Hong Kong TV station ATV held the 1st and only edition of Mr Asia in 2005. Only a handful of countries participated and China and Hong Kong were represented by more than one contestant. This contest was held in direct response to the first Mr Hong Kong pageant held by ATV's rival TVB. Unfortunately for some reasons only known to the TV station, this contest was discontinued after 2005. The reason why i am posting this is because one of the contestants in this contest, joined the Mr Hong Kong 2010 which i featured yesterday.
