Among global celebrities, Thai superstars Phakphum Romsaithong and Nattawin Wattanagitiphat created an unprecedented stir. They were greeted by a massive legion of local fans, who lined the streets of Colaba, screaming their names and holding up posters.

In Hello! Magazine India:
While not new to anyone familiar with the world of BL dramas that has only expanded since the pandemic, Mile and Apo sparked a curiosity in many, especially because of the grand welcome they received at the Mumbai airport, with fans queuing up for hours to catch a glimpse of the stars, and the interest they garnered online despite being surrounded by some of the biggest names in the fashion and entertainment industry.
So who are Mile and Apo?
Mile Phakphum Romsaithong and Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat are actors from Thailand, most popular for their roles as Kinn and Porsche in the hugely successful BL series KinnPorsche (2022).
The success of KinnPorsche catapulted the actors into global stardom with a fandom that expanded across the globe, as evidenced by the warm welcome they received by hundreds of fans in Mumbai. Aside from collecting awards and covers of all top magazines in the country, the main lead actors from the drama also scored a coveted Dior ambassadorship that led them to be invited for the label’s pre-fall 2023 ready-to-wear showcase in Mumbai recently.
(wait really?! did Hello jump the gun and leak that information before it was meant to be released, or maybe they misunderstood, or is that how we're gonna find out???)

Mile in Badhombre, a Spanish publication, in their best dressed of the week. (the difference is in the details) this is a sign I need to shut up about how I think Dior is ugly I guess...
And of course many of the usual places that have now been covering them like Harper's Bazaar SG (Thank you Kenneth Goh), Vogue Thailand, Vogue HK, and Dior directly on their IG and Twitter accounts.

Hi anon!
Do you have specific magazines in mind? Because JK has been featured in three magazines (including digital Vogue HK) during solo era, and Tae has been featured in seven magazines (including V/ICON coming next month) during CH 2. 😅
In the meantime, I do have seven posts that include several of their latest magazine photos if you're interested ☺ TK really do have so many parallels!
