Popular Actors’ Sudden Break-Up Announcement Sparks Deep Concerns 

When a major update in a star’s career is needed, their company will usually issue an official notice. These can range from announcing a hiatus to sharing project updates to revealing disbandments or cancelled events.

Recently, the announced break-up of a popular couple sparked viral commentary from netizens.

It is not uncommon for actors and actress to be paired together during their careers for projects. This is especially true for BL and GL (boy love, girl love) actors in Thailand, who end up appearing in multiple projects alongside their assigned partner and gain huge popularity.

Actors “Winny” Thanawin Pholcharoenrat and “Satang” Kittiphop Sereevichayasawat first appeared in My School President together, and subsequently Our Skyy 2 and We Are.

On March 3, GMMTV announced that the partnership between the pair would be ending officially following a mutual decision.

Many fans shared mixed feelings about the announcement, which came as a surprise due to the planned projects announced for the two this year. Support was also offered for the pair’s solo endeavors.

i’m so confused because they got a project right for gmmtv2026? like in the line up. so, is it a sudden decision or what? https://t.co/6zQbBHUsMh

I mean… aren’t they still active like other CPs? Still lots of events? Still have series coming out?! And even amidst all that busyness, something like this actually happens? Really shows nothing’s guaranteed😭

I’m so sorry for their fans, this must be super tough🥹🤍 https://t.co/AgtgQR8QNS

just let me be sad, angry, and dissapointed. i don't want to hear some fans say "we have to support their decision" OF COURSE I DO, BUT I'M HEARTBROKEN. they are one of my source of happiness for the past 3 years! how am I supposed to function after this??? https://t.co/d5es231MHb

Another question that arose was what would happen to the mascot of the couple, Samruay. Many acting pairings have been given a “child” in the form of a mascot that attends events and promotes the stars both in group activities and separately.

While it is not an actual “child,” the mascot is a real person whose career could also be affected by the sudden split, which added additional concerns.

I think for the first time, we are going to see what happens to a mascot if their parents get divorced… 😯😦In any case, from what I’ve read, they want to focus on their solo careers. I truly wish them all the best! https://t.co/r7IlhgG8pY

idk but gmmtv artists showing comfort and sympathy to Ruay is like a way of them comforting the fandom, in an alternative way. Samruay represents WS fandom and there is also a person inside that mascot that needs comfort too. Even the actors itself comfort Ruay.

We wish the best to Winny, Satang, and Samruay in their future endeavors!
