Reporter: How are things going with N’Atom?
Faye: Well, Nong is a gift to Fabel. Thank you to Nong for becoming part of Fabel and for choosing our company. It wasn’t easy for us to have her join us. We approached her, but we weren’t the only ones. We’re a small company, while many big companies, five, six, even seven or eight, also contacted her after her contract ended. At the time, we were concerned about her health and wondered whether she would be able to take on acting work. When we talked, Nong shared that she had trained very hard back then and had ongoing health issues, but she truly loves acting and wanted to try acting. So we’re very grateful that she trusted us and chose to walk this path together with us. It took three rounds of casting, and by the time everything came together, it felt like the right fit in every way.
Reporter: How did you manage to convince her to work with you?
Faye: Honestly, we never expected that Nong would choose us. When we asked her, she told us that many companies had contacted her, but she hadn’t decided yet. We went through several casting rounds. It wasn’t just the Fabel team; many directors and people from different teams came to watch, and everyone agreed: this is the one.
Reporter: So she’s your new shipping couple?
Faye: Yes, she’s my new partner, my current partner.
Reporter: What kind of chemistry sparked between you?
Faye: Nong is very cute and very bright. Being around her feels uplifting. At first, I didn’t even say this myself, but the team told me, “Nong is really cute and so bright,” and that made me realize, yes, she really is. We were looking for someone who feels fresh, bright, and has a lot of passion. Once we sat down and talked, it felt like we were heading in the same direction.
Reporter: How many candidates was she selected from?
Faye: We held three rounds of casting. She was chosen from many candidates; there were quite a lot.
Reporter: So she has officially been selected?
Faye: Yes, officially.
Reporter: How has it been working together?
Faye: She gives it her all. We’ve just started working together and only recently got to know each other, but it feels like we’ve known each other for quite a while, even though we only just met. That made me feel that Nong is very friendly, easy to get along with, but she also seems to have her own side to her. As we continue working together, I think we’ll become even closer.
Reporter: When will fans get to see you making public appearances?
Faye: We’ll need to wait until there’s actual work to show first so fans can get a first look and a little preview. Everything is still very new, both for Nong and for Fabel. Fabel itself is still very new. Even though I’ve been an actress before, being a producer and making a series myself is new to me too. I listen to all feedback and keep developing step by step.
Reporter: Atom will be acting in the series as well?
Faye: Yes. I’m not worried about other aspects. She can sing, perform, and dance; she’s very versatile. Most importantly, she truly loves acting and genuinely wants to try it. This project is a change for all of us. It’s exciting, fresh, and a gift for Fayemily, for Nong’s fans, and for Nong herself.
Reporter: Will there be any workshops or ice-breaking activities?
Faye: Yes, there will be acting workshops to prepare everyone.
Reporter: When can we watch Broken of Love?
Faye: Very soon, early this year. Filming isn’t finished yet. So far, we’ve been in the preparation stage. We announced the pairing because we had just finalized it. There’s been script reading, preparation, building the team. Filming is already underway and ongoing, depending on the production team and director.
Reporter: So early this year for sure?
Faye: Yes.
Reporter: Filming is already in progress?
Faye: Yes, it’s currently in production. We’ll announce the exact schedule through the Fabel page.
Reporter: You’re handling many roles, how do you manage your time?
Faye: As a producer, everyone helps prepare the work. I do many things, but scheduling isn’t a problem as long as we manage well and have a clear timeline.
Reporter: You’re going to Milan at the end of this month?
Faye: Yes, I was invited by Ferragamo, and previously I attended the Milan Fashion Show with MaxMara.
Reporter: And then you’ll come back and continue working?
Faye: Yes, yes.
Reporter: How is the keyboard-warrior (online harassment) case going?
Faye: Legal notices should be reaching many homes soon both in Thailand and internationally. I didn’t want to do this, but when fake news is being stirred up, there comes a point where action is necessary. Now that Nong is part of Fabel, I must protect her from things that aren’t true. If it affects our work, I won’t tolerate it. Words spoken carelessly have consequences; there’s a price to pay. Before the blessing ceremony, notices should already be reaching the homes of those with bad intentions. Some new rumors are simply untrue and go too far. If anyone crosses the line and targets people in my company or those under my care, I absolutely will not accept it.
Reporter: If it doesn’t stop, will there be more action?
Faye: Yes. If it doesn’t stop, there will be more. It’s gone too far.
Reporter: How many people are involved?
Faye: Many people. Some cases are quite serious because they damage reputations. This has been a long-standing issue. I’ve been in the industry for a long time and didn’t want to handle things this way. Many people don’t even know the full truth behind what they’re talking about. Some things, please know the facts first before speaking. Spreading untrue information has consequences; there is always a price to pay. Even if we don’t know each other or don’t like each other, attacking and damaging others is not right. We’re adults. We’re educated people. We shouldn’t say things that harm others. At the same time, I understand another side of it—some people may be dissatisfied with their own lives, needing to vent or hide their own struggles. But no matter what, actions still come with consequences.
Reporter: Finally, any message for fans regarding Atom?
Faye: Please show Nong lots of love. We’ll create many projects and lovely moments for fans. We have many ideas planned. I’m truly happy to have Nong with us. Thank you to Nong, thank you to all the fans for the warm welcome, and thank you to Nine Entertain.
