born in the charming and culturally rich city of khon kaen to a well-to-do family who had a great standing in the community, it was said that holly had stars in her eyes from the very beginning. maybe it was toddling around after her father on film studio visits and being doted on by thailand’s biggest celebrities, or perhaps it was the jam sessions she’d had with her brother in their playroom, spawned from his very early interest in music.

regardless, the small girl had big dreams, and the means with which to follow them. she was quite privileged, but she was also appreciative. she knew never to take her circumstances for granted, for it could all be gone in an instant.

holly had a fondness for dance, utilizing any free time she had in her heavily scheduled childhood to simply leap around her room rhythmically to her favorite music. she had some natural ability, but it was nothing compared to what she wanted to possess. after a bit of pleading to drop some of her less favored activities and some well-reasoned convincing from her mother to her father, she was able to start dance classes.

while training in dance, holly discovered an all encompassing love for music in general. there’d be days in her classes where some students would get to sing or play instruments while the others danced in elaborate practice performances. it was the most fun she’d had outside of the impromptu concerts put on with her brother.

she caught word that one of the girls in her dance class would soon be embarking to south korea in hopes of auditioning for an idol company, and a dream of her own began to take form. becoming a fierce, confident idol? it seemed too good to be true, but holly’s ambitions didn’t know sleep. her mother was as supportive as she always had been about it, but her father was understandably weary about his wife and daughter moving to another country. still, even he couldn’t deny holly’s dedication to the idea and his wife’s willingness to uproot her own life and business for their daughter’s dream. it didn’t help that holly’s sad eyes were a bit much to withstand, so he finally gave in to the master plan.

the transition to seoul was hectic and there was a ton of paperwork involved, especially as it pertained to transferring holly to hanlim arts high school to finish out her schooling. she and her mother moved into an apartment in songpa-gu, and for the first time, holly took the time to realize just what was happening. her family believed in her to the point that they had sacrificed so much; she couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty, but it also impassioned her to push on until she achieved what she was after.

it didn’t take long before she was signed on as a trainee for new star entertainment, given her endearing look and intense persistence. she always gave her all when completing any task they assigned her, and kept her head down for the most part; she did not want to make a fuss or catch the ire of any of her fellow exhausted and hungry trainees. she earned a reputation in the company of being quite easy to work with and open to direction and critique. 

they’d begun training her in something completely different than she’d expected in the form of rapping, but she supposed it was understandable for new star to want their idols to be all-rounders. besides, it was actually quite fun learning the skill and she’d come to find her voice was well suited for the medium.

she was eventually informed that she would be among the lineup for the company’s new girl group flora, but when her position was announced, holly was slightly confused. she was chosen as the group’s main rapper, which was a bit blindsiding. the recent rapping training suddenly made a lot more sense, but holly couldn’t help but feel nerves take hold of her. what if the group flopped because of her lack of experience in rapping? what if she ruined a golden opportunity for four other hardworking women? but she couldn’t let herself lapse into that negative spiral; no, she’d push through it with poise...she had to. it wasn’t just her dream at stake, anymore. 

once the group began practicing together, holly felt a bit more natural in the role of main rapper. she injected a bit of playful attitude into their rehearsals and with amazing moral support from the rest of flora, she was beginning to feel like she belonged. finally, it was time for the lineup to be announced, and new star did it with pride.

there was a bit of backlash initially, as many watchful fans of the trainee group felt that the lead rapper deserved flora’s main rapper position instead of holly. there was even some discussion that holly didn’t fit flora’s concept at all, and shouldn’t have been in the final lineup. when her dance origins were dug up by fans, some less than reputable news sources painted holly as a jealous backstabber harboring the belief that she should have gotten the main dancer spot.

it went without saying that holly didn’t really know how to handle all of this. she was genuinely excited, albeit nervous about her new path as a rapper and despised any sort of drama or confrontation, and it wasn’t as though she wouldn’t get to flex her dancing muscle in the group’s performances. she’d known how unforgiving the industry could be, but it was difficult to prepare for just how many false narratives people would create around her. the support of her mother was paramount during this time, and rather than let the gossip swallow her up, she crested the wave and soldiered on toward the shore.

once flora actually debuted, a lot of the criticisms people had about holly fell away. her determination could be felt on stage, warm comradery with the other members of the group was palpable, and people were finally seeing the reality that she herself had always envisioned. of course, there’d always be antis and outliers dredging up old fake drama, but the toxicity lessened considerably over time.

about to celebrate their 9th anniversary, flora has undergone many evolutions over the years, as have the members themselves. always the cheerful, determined one, holly now must wonder if 11 years in the industry has cracked that happy, picture perfect visage of hers. and perhaps, at age 26, she does smile a little less and sleep in a little more. maybe she doesn’t pose as long for the paparazzi when she gets off a plane. perhaps the nasty social media comments cut a little deeper now. maybe this type of career has a shelf life, and holly is nearing the end of it... but what does that mean for someone with a crushing amount of determination and an intense fear of letting down the people around her? she’s still figuring that out.

she took a hiatus in 2020 due to a tendon tear in her ankle that required surgery to repair. since then she’s been forced to take it easier on the dancing outside of practice, which is actually quite devastating to her.

the silver lining of her injury is that she’s discovered a fondness for swimming, which was suggested to her by a doctor for low impact exercise. it’s quite freeing floating atop an expanse of water, and it’s made her dead set on retiring in a place by the ocean.

she’s been burned so many times in the romance department. more than once she’s been told she’s someone’s everything when she’s really just their dirty little secret while they’re with somebody else in the public eye. it’s been rather taxing and made her quite weary in matters of the heart. she finds dashing actors to be the worst offenders.

she’s still incredibly close with her brother, who is also pursuing music professionally back in thailand. he’s the lead singer of a punk band called sanamdeklen, and recently toured australia with them.

about two years after holly debuted with flora, her mother felt comfortable enough to move back home to thailand, as she knew the group was a success & her daughter could now take care of herself.
