(Read in an announcer's voice)

Thank you, everyone, for tuning in to the 2026 Husband Olympics!

Over the past 24 hours, our competitors have received much judgment. Every aspect of their personalities have been scrutinized fairly by our panel of elite judges.

I now present to you the winners 🏆 of this competition, as decided by you, the panel.

(I have included the chart at the end)



In first place we have.... 🥁


🥇Hyunjin, with a total of 23 points!

As you will see, many chose to put him in first place, describing him as open minded, funny, caring toward his children and wife, peaceful, stable, emotionally intelligent, rational, attentive, and having a perfect and compatible parenting style. Ahh! But he did not slip by without criticism from the panel as well, for he is not perfect. His fault? He is too religious, which, understandably, wouldn't suit everyone.




In second place we have.... 🥁


🥈Chan, with a total of 11 points!

Unsurprisingly, Chan passed with flying colours, earning no criticism whatsoever from the panel. His character is described as being able to "make you feel loved and taken care of," being "wise," and "the full package," and "having done everything for his family," as well as "shaping them all into who they are." Admiration all around for Channie. 👏🏻




In third place we have.... 🥁


🥉Wolf, with a total of 9 points!

He has earned a medal as our youngest competitor. He has won over your hearts by being the manliest of men, being described as manly, protective, strong, reliable, determined,  responsible, stable, making you feel safe, and lastly, just being "my type of guy." No criticism for Wolf!

Now that the medals have been handed out, here are the scores of our other competitors.


In fourth place, we have Juno, with a total of 4 points!

He is described as being lovable, admirable, possessing leadership qualities, and having similar qualities to Hyunjin. He, too, was not safe from criticism from the panel, though. His fault? His job. Understandably, not everyone would want to be left at home with the kids for a few days at a time.



In fifth place, we have Minho, with a total of 3 points!

Minho is truly an all-rounder, scoring exactly one vote per category in each category. He is described as being funny and entertaining. Many appreciate the way he treats his wife. Some say they appreciate the way he handles his kids, while others disagree. His main criticisms from the panel were that he could be hard to get along with or be harsh at times. But all in all, he is balanced in being both lovable and detestable. 😁 And, he wins the trophy for being the most commonly criticized character. 🏆



In sixth place, we have Changbin, with 2 points!

Changbin is praised for having steadily been a calm and collected person, maturing at a young age, and always keeping out of drama and trouble. He is reliable and kind, and his muscles are built to impress. Unsurprisingly, the panel has no criticism. How could they?



In seventh place, we have Teddie, with 1 point!

Teddie is known for being well-liked. He is praised for being mature, emotionally intelligent, considerate, and adorable. No one could ever ever hate on Teddie. Ever.



In eighth place, we have Seungmin, with 0 points.

Seungmin was voted as first place twice, but unfortunately, he was voted as last place twice as well, therefore losing his points. However, he is described as being hot, compatible, handling kids well, and treating his wife well. His main criticism from the panel, oddly enough, is being incompatible.



In ninth place, we have Jisung, with a total of 0 points.

He was voted first once but also voted last, costing him his points. He is described as being chill and praised for his demeanor. He is admired for how he treats his kid, as well as other kids, being the favourite uncle, which appears to be a green flag. He gives the impression of a dad willing to do fun things with his daughter and support her without judgment and being silly and fun with his wife. His main criticism was a lack of connection to his character, blamed solely on the author, which the author agrees with.

(In the author's defense, she is actually a Han bias, and she enjoyed writing his character and his wife and daughter's characters, but they just never got as much attention, idk whyyy, so she stopped focusing on them.😭)



In tenth place is Ben, with 0 points.

None of you peasants even voted for him. He is so sad. Imagine him as a 20 year old. Doesn't he seem fun? 🤣



In Eleventh place is Felix, with -2 points.

It is a shame to see our competitor, Felix, like this. He tried his best. Felix was praised by the panel for being sweet, easy to get along with, nervous, cute, easily flustered, dorky, nerdy, and hot. The panels criticism for Felix was simply that he was a bit awkward and hard to connect with. The panel turned to the event coordinator, calling out an unfair lack of screen time for this competitor. She apologized.


(In her defense, she got a bit bored trying to figure out what to do with his character. She apologizes a lot, but she just can't force the ideas to bubble forth. Forgive her.)
