The 21st season of "Germany's Next Topmodel" (GNTM) has officially kicked off, highlighting its inclusion of male candidates this year. A multitude of applicants showcased their exotic hobbies and diverse job backgrounds during the casting phase, indicating a blend of various interests and talents among the contestants. The show, which airs on ProSieben, is known for its feminist narrative around modeling, yet the details surrounding the latest season have been kept under wraps, raising anticipation among fans.

Despite the excitement of a new season, the promotional teasers have come off as somewhat underwhelming. For instance, while the media hints at familiar faces like Philipp Plein, there isn't much else announced that captivates the audience. The notable revelation that Heidi Klum will perform the title song for this season, called 'Red Eye,' has not sparked significant enthusiasm, nor has it elevated interest to record levels—especially for those closely following the show.

In an amusing twist, potential collaborations such as Gil Ofarim reading from his book "The Silence Dilemma" could potentially draw more attention than the musical efforts. Nevertheless, the introduction of the male competitors is certainly adding a fresh dimension to the series as it continues to explore themes of beauty and talent in an ever-evolving landscape of modeling.
