They hope their World Tour has a taste of tequila

Thanks to their success, their production company Be On Cloud decided to create a band integrated by the cast of KinnPorsche called Cumulus. The name’s meaning comes from the formation of puffy clouds we can usually see in the sky. Exactly as how we see the adorable cast, right?

As a result of thei popularity of this series full of boys’ romance, action and HOT scenes, their fame surpasses the sky not only in Thailand, but also in Latin America, where the cast can’t wait to visit during their world tour.

KM: Can you tell us more about your upcoming world tour? Which country in Latin America would you like to visit the most and why?

Mile: I would like to spoil everything (laughs), but I think I can’t right now. But, I promise you the world tour is going to be really fun. There are many countries I want to visit, like Brazil, Colombia, Peru… And Mexico!

Mile: I want to try the native and real Mexican food. I actually love it. When I had a chance to be in the States, my host family was Mexican, so they gave me a lot of good Mexican food. I miss it.

KM: Did you have a favorite Mexican dish?

Mile: Many, but I liked fish quesadillas.

KM: Let’s go for a shot of tequila!

Mile: I know about the big tanks of tequila you have in Mexico, I want to try some of that.

Apo: At the moment, we’re still in the negotiation stages of the world tour. So, if possible, we would like you guys to help promote KinnPorsche in your country and raise the opportunity of us going to see you.

KM: What made you decide “I have to try out” for the casting of KinnPorsche?

Nodt: I think this is a big chance in my life to grow, and I’ve never been in a TV series before, so I said to myself why not? I have to join!

KM: What surprised you the most about the script?

Apo: The characters in KinnPorsche they’re all like real people, it’s not just like your regular kind of drama, where you just have 100% good people, 100% bad people, there’s always a little bit of gray in all the characters.

The significance of the story for them and the hardest moments

The series is an adaptation of the novel รักโคตรร้าย สุดท้ายโคตรรัก (Rạk khotr r̂āy s̄udtĥāy khotr rạk), which translated literally would mean: A love so terrible, by Sittichai Panya and Patchanamon Teesucharoen, who used the pseudonym Daemi.

About their conexion with the characters of KinnPorsche, Perth, Tong and Apo showed us a new side of them: 

KM: How similar do you think you are to your character?

Tong: Oh my God! I’m so much like Tankhun! What I like about him the most is the love he has for his family and friends. ¡Levante la mano quien es Team Tankhun!

KM: What scene was the hardest to film and why? 

Apo:  There were actually a lot of scenes that were hard to shoot, not just one scene, because there are a lot of different factors when shooting a TV series, like for example, the environment, the different actors we’re working with, lights, cameras and stuff like that. 

How the pandemic affected KinnPorsche The Series

KM: What has been one of your most difficult times as an actor and how did you get through it?

Perth: I think one of the most difficult times for me was the Corona situation around the world. There was a time when we had to isolate ourselves at home and I was stuck there with no work. So that was probably the toughest time of my life. But luckily I waited for the pandemic to finish, and I got this great opportunity to be a part of KinnPorsche and it got me through it.

The actor also commented on how his YouTube channel helped him stay positive in those tough times. In his videos, he teaches his fans about Thai culture: the language, food, traditions and even about BL. Don’t forget to check him out trying Mexican candy!

KM: Perth and Nodt., how did you feel about your characters leaving the series so soon and in such heartbreaking ways? 

Perth: For me, personally, I didn’t feel like it was really that fast. Personalmente no sentí que fuera tan rápido. But I die in one way and Big, Nodt’s character, dies a different way and it was really fun to shoot, to be honest.

Nodt:  I felt like something was gone for me, as if my friend had died, and I had to live alone from now on.

Even when Nodt said this with a smile, we, as well as him, will miss Big a lot the rest of the series!
