Monthly likes/dislikes

👎🏻 We’re kicking off the year with a ton of scandals which is very sad to see but thankfully these people are getting called out. The forgiving culture of this fandom is sadly keeping them from getting the punishment they deserve but what can we do. At least these things are finally coming to the surface.

Other news from the BL world

❗️ Actor Seng Wichai (SCOY, War of Y) has terminated his contract with IdolfactoryTH. He is now working as a freelanced actor. It’s still unknown if and how this will affect his further work with partner Billy P. 

❗️ Actors Jet Bundit and Dun Romchumpa (Gen Y, etc.) have terminated their contract with Starhunter. Jet is now with Be On Cloud and Dun is working as a freelanced actor. 

❗️ Multiple pieces of evidence were brought to light that Thai actor Ohm Pawat used to bully and harass disabled classmates and made homophobic comments when he was in highschool. Most of the incidences happened in 2019. He posted an apology on twitter, however not many people are willing to forgive him, including his victims. He has been silent on his social media ever since. 

❗️ Following the exposure of Ohm Pawat, rumors around Billkin Putthipong being a bully in the past came up as well. His company Billkin Entertainment has released a statement denying the accusations. 

❗️ The 2 authors of the KinnPorsche novel have officially left their publisher Daemi House. Last year they were both accused of harassing cast members including Barcode T. who was a minor at the time. At the same time Build Jakapan was accused of abusing his ex girlfriend (and supposedly other women too), which led to him resigning from Be On Cloud and from being an actor altogether for the time being. It is unclear whether or not the accusations are true but most pieces of evidence point against him. The case will be continued in court.
