Winning coach Off Jumpol made an unprecedented decision for the season, eliminating three contestants simultaneously. This action reportedly shocked rivals, contestants, and the audience, according to TrueID.

Lincoln Bui, the Vietnamese-German contestant who garnered a significant fanbase on the show, bid farewell. Reflecting on the outcome, he stated, "I had a beautiful experience in the competition. I hope to see the audience again soon."

Lincoln was one of the few foreign contestants to reach the top 15. During the team selection round, his attractive appearance, standing at 1.83 m with a handsome face, made him a sought-after choice among the coaches. His introductory videos on TikTok went viral, accumulating hundreds of thousands to millions of views. He excelled in early challenges and was considered a strong contender for his team.

The Face Men Thailand is a reality television series that seeks models and actors, part of the widely popular "The Face" franchise in Thailand. Contestants must be at least 1.75 m tall, under 29 years old, and possess potential for a career in the entertainment industry. In recent years, organizers have expanded the criteria, allowing participants from various countries to apply.

For season four, organizers selected 44 contestants from an initial pool of 2,000. During the team formation round, the top 15 were evenly divided among three teams, coached by Mile Phakphum, Off Jumpol, and the duo Pancake Khemanit and Ananda Everingham. These teams then competed in a series of challenges, with eliminations occurring progressively each episode. The competition is now in its final stages, aiming to crown a champion who will win endorsement deals and acting contracts.
