At the annual Oishi Cosplay Dance Mania Dance competition today, several young Thai stars dressed up as anime characters for the event’s fashion show. I recognize 8 people: Yuk Songpaisan, Gun “Fluke” Kantathaworn, Taew Nataporn, ‘Ploy’ Patsorn Kongmeesuk, Chat Priayachat, Nadech “Barry” Kugimiya, “Vill” Wannaros Sonthichai, and Guy Ratchanon. Don’t ask me what characters they are cause I don’t know. To me, they all look like Sailor Moon characters.
Chat, Vill, and Taew in pink and blonde wigs.
Ten newbies to look out for in Sudsapda magazine.
First on our list is Nadech Kugimiya, age 18 turning 19 this year (birth date: December 19, 1991). He’s Thai-Japanese. As for his schooling, he hasn’t decided yet, maybe Mahidol International or Rangsit University. Nadech is a model, a commercial actor (Trident Recaldent and Samsung Monte 3G) and a lakorn actor. His first completed lakorn was “Ngao Ruk Luang Jai (Shadow of Love)” and is currently filming “4 hearts of the big mountain”, a 4 part lakorn to celebrate Ch3′s 40th anniversary. His lakorn is called, “Duang Jai Akkanee (Sweethearts of Fire)”.
The results were blah, blah. Personally, I didn’t even care.

Chompoo and Pancake. My best dress pick would have to go to Chompoo. It’s simple, it’s sexy, she looks like a celebrity unlike other people.
Pictures of Ryan (from the boyband Paran, real name: Joo Jong Hyuk) and Thai actress Chat Priayachat for their scenes in the Modern 9 upcoming Thai-Korean lakorn fusion: “Tai Fah Tawan Diew (Under the same Heaven or Autumn Destiny)”, airing this Saturday, January 16.
I find both of them very cute, but the thing that strikes me as odd is that they laughing while reading a Finance textbook. What does that say? Foundations of Multinational Financial Management. It would have been less odd if the film crew gave them something lighter to laugh about…like a Garfield comic strip book, that would have been better. Yes, do have a good laugh while reading a complicated college Finance textbook. Oh it’s all so funny.
In the lakorn, Chat is Wendy, she met her first love Park Jung-Min (Ryan) while studying in America. He wants to marry her, but unfortunately for Jung-Min and Wendy, her family disapproves because they hate Koreans. The hidden back-story on Wendy’s life is that she is really half Korean/Thai. Her Korean father abandoned her mother when she was pregnant with Wendy and that is the reason why her mother and her mother’s relatives hate Koreans. Seriously, that makes no sense, hate the whole male Korean population because one Korean man did you wrong. Oy.
