MEN'S NON-NO x Special Interview Vol.1
Q: Zee is from Chiang Rai, and NuNew is from Bangkok. Please tell us about your childhood memories.
Zee: I was a quiet child with a shy character, not very good at talking to people. I studied quite seriously, so I think I was a good boy. My parents were not strict with my studies and grades, but in Thailand, even in elementary school, you may repeat a class if you have a bad grade. But my parents were so kind to watch over me, telling me that it would be fine if I could advance to the next grade, so I could study whatever I was interested in
NuNew: According to my parents, when I was a child, I was stubborn and didn't listen to my parents (laughs). I liked pranks and was always making fun of people. I was a noisy child who kept talking all day, but for some reason, as I grew up, I became more and more shy. I talk less when I meet people for the first time, but I talk a lot with people I know.
Q: Did you have any goals or dreams for the future?
Zee: My first goal was to become a flight attendant when I was in 5th and 6th of elementary school. But from 2nd of the secondary school, I started thinking that I would like to see myself reflected on TV or a big screen. Since then, I have dreamed of acting. It's not that I thought I was cool (laughs), but people told me that there were many opportunities. I was like: "Is that so? I'm confident now"
NuNew: I've loved cooking since I was little, and while I helped my mother, I started aiming to become a chef. However, I realized that being a chef was a difficult job and I gave up. My next dream is to become a Chinese interpreter or translator. I started studying when I was in the second year of junior high school, and I studied hard at university.
Q: Two years after graduating from university, Zee made your debut in the drama Friend Zone. How did you get the chance to enter the entertainment industry?
Zee: I took several auditions but I didn't get any. One day, Max (fellow actor who co-stars in "Cutie Pie"), who has been my friend for a long time, got into an entertainment agency. When I told him that if there was an audition or recruiting people, please let me know. Then the office contacted me and made a decision on my joining. In my debut work, I only appeared as a guest for a short time, but I was selected to star in "Why R U?". I was very happy.
Q: There was a time when you were aiming to become a model.
Zee: I have been interested in fashion for a long time, I participated in various contests and auditions until I joined this agency. Every time I failed, I got discouraged and worried about the future, but I didn't give up and continued, then I got several jobs. I once won the Grand Prix of a contest and even had a photoshot abroad. Being able to fulfill my dream on my own without any connections in the fashion industry gave me a lot of confidence, and it was a great experience.
Q: Last year, you launched the fashion brand "Super Sun", and in the future, you plan to sell products designed by you. Please tell us about your favorite fashion taste and brand concept.
Zee: I myself like simple clothes, and I tend to mix and match different tastes. I don't have any expertise in fashion or design, and I'm not sure if I have good taste, but since It've been given this opportunity, let's try it! And I am currently working on my 1st collection. There is no definite concept, but if I'd like to say the theme would be "clothes I want to wear". I design myself and get inspired by my favorite items.
