On-stage, she is acclaimed by many to be in the ‘front’. Who would know how many tears she had to shed to reach this point?

By being the Number 1 idol group in Thailand, many doors in the entertainment world are open to BNK48. If we have to create a list of members ranked by their characteristics, looks, abilities, and confidence –  those who have been a Senbatsu member for every main song up until now, and are accredited with many other works outside the group – that list must include Patchanan Jiajirachote AKA Orn BNK48.

Here I am, here I am 😅

Helloooo to all of my cute fans… I would like to thank everyone for sending all the encouragement. Since I was not here for a month, you all must miss me horribly, right~? 😉 To send all these cookies, it must be your way of saying, ‘We miss you,’ and to support me as you always do.

Thank you. Thank you for making me know I still have all of you by my side. Thank you for helping and supporting me on the day I fell down, and if your day to fall ever comes, I’ll be here as well…

Let’s all fight together~ I want to see every one of you living happily, and it would be fantastic, if your happiness is seeing or being the cause of others’ happiness as well. Because right now, we can be each other’s happiness.

Love you lotsss 💕💕💕💕💕💕

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Music was raised in a family with gamer parents who allowed their child to play games and used that opportunity teach her English alongside. For her, playing games is the best family activity.
  • Aside from being an idol, Music also dreams to work in the legal field as per her Grandpa’s expectations.
  • For Music, the word ‘Center’ isn’t just standing in the middle, but it means trying harder than anyone else to best communicate the meaning of that song.
  • Music believes the duty of an idol is to send love to everyone. Meanwhile, the love fans reciprocate is used to fuel her love again. Ultimately, it becomes a never-ending cycle of love.
  • Underneath her cute and cheerful image, Music has hidden a serious and intent side to work and life that few people know about.

‘Puzzled face, mic incident, canine teeth, bright smile, rarely speaks but never fails to make fans laugh, Pikachu’

These are what probably comes to fans’ mind when we talk about Praewa Suthamphong or Music BNK48. A 17-year-old idol, one of the top members who debuted as center of the first single ‘Aitakatta’, who received as much attention as the Captain, Cherprang Areekul.

Almost a year has passed since then. Music has excellently delivered love to all and has been everyone’s lively “Miss Sun” all along.

Hard work, competition, and high expectations combined are too heavy a burden for a 17-year-old girl to bear. All along she has chosen to hide those feelings, without anyone noticing, behind her smile and those little canines of hers. However, that was until she revealed what was on her mind (via VOOV live on 28 January 2018) along with tears she couldn’t withhold. Fans were dismayed at what was happening to their Sun that has shone on them all along.

On the other hand, critics accused her of many things. Some said she was crying crocodile tears, some said she was too weak to be an idol, and etc. Luckily, THE STANDARD had the chance to exclusively talk to Music before that incident, and the conversation we had immediately made us understood that ultimately, she isn’t someone else. She is a girl, a cute, lively, serious, with delicate feelings, and a very honest to herself kind of girl.

Not sure what the definition of idols are for others, but for me, I think ‘honesty to oneself’ is one of the interesting qualities for idols to have in the present.

CHERPRANG
IS
EVERYTHING

EVERYTHING : DAZZLING IDOL / CHERPRANG BNK48

I’m ready! A firm response from our ‘model’ to our team after asking for her status during dressing up.

When it came the time to walk down the stairs towards the giant tunnel, as the steps were steep and the lights were dim, our staff were worried about our model’ safety. However, while she was walking down, our cameraman got busy shooting right away! The sight before our eyes was our model in STREETWEAR, looking exactly like we want her to be in EVERYTHING. As she started posing for the camera whilst naturally descending the stairs, we could all feel it truly came from her inner. Her energy reached all the staff and all our worries dissipated. Inside our hearts, one question appeared: ‘Is this cool model standing in front of us really ‘Cherprang Areekul’, the Captain of BNK48?’

Music : Woooooo~ Thank you so much for all the support from everyone. When I saw that our app was updated to have themes of ‘Member of the Week’, I felt the competition rising again.

Now that’s BNK48 6th Single Senbatsu General Election is over with, how do you feel? Relieved? Any worries?

Mostly relief. Just from not having stress any longer. I was stressed. The fans were stressed. It was a somber period when the General Election was approaching. When it was over, even though I didn’t get the rank I wished for, I was relieved.

Moreover, my rank isn’t worse than it currently is. What’s important is that this is something my loving and supportive fans gave me, without any influence from the management or anyone else. And I’m also glad to have a chance to dance in this song.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Noey has been a shy person ever since she was a child. Even though she loved to dance, she wasn’t brave enough to show that skill to anyone and went through her daily life like any ordinary child. It was when she reached 20-year-old that she started to think she needed to have a dream that mattered, and her answer was being a member of BNK48.
  • Noey chose to study Industrial Microbiology in university because she was interested in the wonder of living beings.
  • Noey only received the chance to be Double Center with Music BNK48 in ‘Shonichi’ which was a song about perseverance, and her biggest dream right now is to perform her duties to the best of her abilities to make BNK48 stronger.
