so DMD gen 3 boys are having a fan meeting in Bangkok right now. 3 koojin in gen 3 are ThomasKong, KengNamping and TleFirstone, other members: Latte, Gems and TeeTee have partners in different gens.

so i thought they would have 3 duo performances and 1 trio but DMD surprised me by having the partners on stage as special guests too: MarkGems, LatteKim and PorTeeTee/TeeTeePor. idk but it makes me feel touched and warm :')

not like i think there is any thing wrong with them being a trio, but it's so nice to have the partners/ the closest chosen colleagues with you on this big stage when your other friends also have theirs too. idk maybe it's because of my period and i become emotional but i think it's cute 🥹 i love my DMD boys <3

I have a feeling DMD Lineup 2025 is gonna be in February after Lunar New Year. If this becomes true, I will treat myself hotpot. It has been too long since the last one but my stomach 😩 (Also I think they will announced the air date of Zomvivor in DMD Line Up cuz DMD gonna be clunky like that)

DMD GEN3 Fan Meeting in Bangkok "Friendship Never Ends" Fancams links & my personal notes

Disclaimer: I watched all the performances on my Twitter timeline. All the photos, videos, clips are not mine. This is just for archival purpose.

I think of fan meeting as a way for a company (especially small like DMD) getting more money to invest in their productions and pay their talents. Therefore, even though the performances might not be perfect, I still view them positively and try to appreciate them for what they are. I know there are people dislike actors singing and dancing, call them "idol wannabe" but a fanmeeting is 3-5 hours long, you cannot entertain your fans by just playing games. Besides, some actors actually enjoy performing and some consider it a way to pay back for fans. So yeah, in general, I don't mind actors singing and dancing. If I don't like it, I will just ignore. And I have soft spots for the DMD Boys always, there's that.

GEN 3 – ศูนย์รวมความน่ารัก (Cuteness Center)

I unironically love this song. I love boy group, bubble gum pop songs. And this song is just like that. Simple cutesy catchy. This fancam is the only full member fancam I can find on Youtube.

SOLO PERFORMANCES:

They cut it short so each performance is around 2 minutes. I enjoyed all of them. I don't know if they all just stood behind the doors waiting but I can kinda see some of them in some camera angles XD My favorite solo performances is TeeTee's (boy group pop song, tropical vibe). My most surprising performances are Namping's and Firstone's, they both usually sing but they tried something new this time.

TeeTee — LOLAY (โลเล) by ATLAS

Thomas — "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Frankie Valli

Gems — "พบรัก (Preview)" by Ink Waruntorn | @minshawol_ on Twitter

(cannot find a good photo of him singing ＿|￣|○)

Kong — "หมวยนี่คะ (Muay nee ka)" by China Dolls

Latte — "Good Morning Teacher" by Atom Chanakan

Tle — "ถ้าเธอรักฉันจริง" by Three Man Down

(cannot find a good photo of him singing x 2＿|￣|○)

Namping — "เปิดใจไม่เปิดตัว (KEEP IT LOW KEY)" by TIMETHAI

Firstone — Liar by BUS

Keng — "โต้ละลิม (melt)" by NONT TANONT

(Namping acted as the love interest in this song's MV, directed by Third from Tilly Birds :") )

DUO PERFORMANCES:

MarkGems — "น่ารักมั้ยไม่รู้ (Narak Mhai Mai Roo)" by Butterbear

The reason why Mark was in the bear costume until the very end, I believe, was to surprise fans. Because before this, they showed a VCR where all the established pairs in Gen 3 were all paired up (duh?) via lucky draws. It ended with TeeTee, Latte and Gems opened their draws and acted surprised. And then Gems started his performance on his own, tricking fans into thinking he would perform solo again I supposed.

There are better fancams on Twitter but they are all vertical and I don't like how Twitter requires login to view so...Anyways, Gems is cute and Mark has long hair XD

LatteKim — "ต้องชอบแค่ไหน (FIRST LOVE)" by PRETZELLE

Latte was just so endearingly bad at dancing I couldn't help but falling in love with him. He know he's not good but still he earnestly tried his best :") It is better if he has something to act on (i.e a storyline, or with another characters rather than alone on stage). The way he pulled Kim in and Kim's reaction at the end, I was screaming. I was a fan that was satisfyingly served. Nice song too, +1 in the playlist.

PorTeeTee — "ดีดี (UNEXPECTED)" by JAYLERRxPARIS

Cuties 🥺 Love the bubble gum pop song, the idol boyfriends vibe. They are good at dancing and singing. Added a new song to my playlist +2. I was a fan that was satisfyingly served +2.

Por also posted on Twitter about taking his personal in-ear monitors out for this stage and feeling thankful to be on stage again after a long time, and I'm like :') I don't know if those are the same one he got when he was in DVI, but still :') His ex bandmate also replied to the in-ear monitors tweet :') (I know he technically got on stage before in the DMD Charity but it was more for funsies and not officially with elaborated stages and back-up dancers like this). Happy for him and TeeTee for getting the chances to do what they love as parts of their jobs.

TleFirstone — "Die with A Smile" by Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars (+ a little interview after the performance)

When it comes to singing, TleFirstone always delivered. Great harmony. They sang it a little "lighter" (if that makes sense?). However, I have listened to the original too many times, I just cannot listen to this more than twice without getting tired :'( which is a shame. Also, why did they stand 5 feet apart, finding a decent photo with both of them in it is hard =)))))

Tle apparently got sick when practicing just 1-2 days before the fanmeeting and had to get an injection and then hurriedly went back to practice :(

ThomasKong — "Green Tea & Honey" by Dane Amar

They were having so much fun together and so was I :"). Cute and romantic. The song is not for me but still, I was a fan that was satisfyingly served +3.

KengNamping — "งานเต้นรำในคืนพระจันทร์เต็มดวง (A Dance on the Night of a Full Moon)" by Cocktail ft. New Napatsorn

They sang beautifully and they got a little dance together near the end. And then Keng just starred at Namping for at least solid 10 seconds before lightly brush Namping's hair. I felt like a Victorian man seeing a woman's ankle for the first time. I was a fan that was satisfyingly served +4. Added a new song to my playlist +3.

JUMPING SCISSOR PAPER STONE GAME:

This moment from ThomasKong that made everyone on stage lost their minds.

Full video from @tinyJmouse23 on Twitter

Photos from @punniex25 on Twitter. (There is a clip of Keng holding his arms out and going in circles during this but I cannot find it. Man really go into NPC mode.)

SURPRISE SPECIAL GUEST "BUTTERBEAR"

They were genuinely surprised when Nong Noey came out, the crew kept secrets from them entirely.

Here a clip of DMD Gen 3 members received Hi-Touch benefits from Butterbear at the fanmeeting LMAO (Video from @jengphleng on Twitter)

GEN3 — "หากเธอเคยรักใคร (IF YOU LOVE)"

Cannot find a fancam that have all members, only focus cam :')

GEN3 — "รักเธอเต็มฟีด (LOVE FEED)"

Same as above :') Technically, they didn't sing much, they went around the venue and threw little signed plastic balls.

They also played the project video made by the collaboration of all the official fanclub of each member. Namping Official Fanclub tweeted to say thank you to every FC in this project and for Kong Official Fanclub, they are thankful that although they fought at that time, they still cooperated to finish the project XD.

There is this one line in the video that I really like "For as long as I exist, you will be loved." (which may or may not inspire me to write a love story.)

Miscellanies:

I'm so normal about them. (When they kiss in Khemjira, I'm gonna be an annoyance to everyone.)

Keng and his armpit protection saga. (It honestly hilarious how when taking selfie for the whole DMD Gen 3 in the DMD Charity event, he was STRUGGLING to hold onto his sleeves and fans caught it on camera =)))) )

The theme was sleeping and look at TleFirstone vs everybody else (Photos from: @TThisperson on Twitter)

Thomas got absolutely blasted by all the confetti. (Photo and video from @babii_uu on Twitter)

TMK and KNP (Video from @arawusbb on Twitter)

Keng vs Kong ft. a dramatic Namping (Video from @bcpsx1 from Twitter)

Conclusion:

Everyone is great. They have improved a lot :") All the performaces are enjoyable to me. Love how many fans came for their faves but still wholeheartedly supported and cheered for everyone in Gen 3, and even Marks, Kim and Por. I saw many accounts that dedicated to one members posting fancams and praising other members. Remind me of K-pop fandom a lot :") A nice fandom experience. 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️
