We know a top star when we see one. On June 15, voting lines opened for the “Outstanding Asian Star” category of the Seoul International Drama Awards (SDA) 2024 on IDOLCHAMP. The SDA is a prestigious award that honors excellence in television dramas worldwide. This category includes nominees from six Asian countries: Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and, of course, Korea. The actor holding down the top spot in Thailand, receiving enormous amounts of votes with every passing hour, is none other than Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat, who has captivated fans not just in Thailand but across the globe. Here’s what we know about the outstanding actor.
Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat, also known as Gun and Gun Atthaphan, is one of the brightest stars to come out of the Thai acting industry. He is signed to GMMTV. Gun was born on 4 October 1993, which makes him thirty years old at the time of writing. His birthplace is Bangkok, Thailand. In addition to his career as an actor and host, Gun Atthaphan is also highly educated.
He was previously studying Business Administration at the University of Bangkok. Despite the immense success he is achieving as a superstar, he is continuing his education earnestly and was most recently reported to be studying Political Science at Ramkhamhaeng University. The multi-hyphenate is also a model, singer, owner of a clothing brand named “GENTE” and co-owner of another fashion brand “Too Cute To Be Cool”. Needless to say, he is truly multitalented and an absolute creative genius.
Gun’s talent and knack for acting were first recognized by his mother, who wholeheartedly supported his endeavors. By only 9 years old, in 2003, Gun Atthaphan was a winner of “The Boy Model Competition”, which kickstarted his acting career. The next year, he got his first major acting role in the Thai folklore soap opera “Gomin” and instantly shot to fame. Very soon, he became a household name and started appearing in films like “Slice” as well as more dramas. By 17, he was an award-winning actor. Talk about being a prodigy!
Gun Atthaphan started gaining critical acclaim globally in the last decade, with some of his most popular works being “The Blue Hour”, where he delivered an exceptional performance in the emotionally complex and layered role of Tam. Internationally, his film won him the “Best Actor in Feature Film” award at the 21st Chéries-Chéris Film Award and the “Best Lead Actor” award at the 29th MIX Copenhagen Award.
While fans and critics showered Gun with love and appreciation, the actor quickly moved on to his next project, “Senior Secret Love: Puppy Honey”, and once again, created a mega-hit. It was this show that birthed the iconic duo OFFGUN, comprising Off Jumpol Adulkittiporn – his “Senior Secret Love” co-star, and himself. OFFGUN went on to star in many more dramas like “Our Skyy”, “Not Me”, and most famously, “Theory of Love”, which won the two several “Best Couple” awards. OFFGUN became such a phenomenon that they even got their own TV show called “OFFGUN Fun Night” and released music together!
Meanwhile, Gun continued to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry with works like “The Gifted”, which added more awards to his ever-growing collection. Some of Gun’s latest works include “Midnight Museum” and another OFFGUN BL series “Cooking Crush”, among other projects. OFFGUN are set to appear together again in the upcoming series “The Trainee”.
