🌻: throughout the journey so far not every step has been easy and not every day has been beautiful. but we probably would never have come this far if Dunk hadn’t met Joong that day 🤍
to my MJ i’m grateful for every piece of advice you’ve given me. thank you for your patience and determination. and most importantly thank you for fighting alongside me since day one. whether it was on days when everything went smoothly or on days when things didn’t turn out the way we had hoped we got through it all together and made it to today. over the past 5 years we’ve watched each other grow and gone through so many things that probably no one could understand as well as the two of us. i want you to know that getting to work together laugh together get tired together and achieve success together has truly been such a good and meaningful period of time for me my friend
Dunk would like to thank every single fan both #ดุงจัง (dungjangs) and #dunkdunk as well as everyone who has always given love and support to Dunk and Joong from the very first day until today.
Dunk has felt and been aware of all the love everyone has given. whether it is a little encouragement messages sent to the smiles laughter or even the tears today everything truly means so much to Dunk. Dunk knows that this journey has not involved just the two of us but also everyone who has joined us on this journey and created so many memories together. everyone’s love and support have never been a small thing to Dunk. and without all of you there probably would be no JoongDunk who could have come this far. Dunk wants everyone to know that the love you have given has never been in vain. Dunk keeps every moment in his heart and no matter what the road ahead may be like all of you will always be part of the most beautiful and precious memories to Dunk
thank you for loving us so much. Dunk loves everyone so much too. Dunk wants to hold everyone tightly in his arms.
even though our career paths may change from this point onward Dunk hopes that everyone will continue to give love and support to both Dunk and Joong just as before
please grandmas and grandmothers continue to dote on and be kind to Jaidee Dunk’s son too. Jaidee was born from JoongDunk’s love and Daddy Dunk definitely won’t let Jaidee feel lonely. daddy will take you to school every day and take you to play football and learn Thai dance often okay?
thank you to all the respected seniors who gave us the opportunity to get to know each other grow together and create good memories together throughout the journey we have shared so far. this also includes everyone who has worked behind the scenes and been part of this journey
Dunk is very sorry and deeply saddened that our career paths may not continue in the way many people had hoped. but Dunk wants everyone to know that what has changed is only the way we work. my love my friendship and goodwill that Dunk has for Joong remain exactly the same unchanged.
lastly …
my MJ i want to tell you this: wish you luck in every step you take and in everything you choose. if i could turn back time and do it all over again i would still choose to have #จุงดัง JoongDunk be part of my life just as before

🌞and i also want to thank all the fans here so so much for always supporting us. i honestly never thought that these 2 kids would be able to make everyone love them this much. do we really deserve to receive this much love? or maybe i’m just speaking from my own feelings… feel like everyone is justfar too kind. i also don’t know what i should do… like… i really don’t know what i could do to give back everything that everyone has given me. i feel like i probably won’t be able to repay it all in this lifetime. i just want to say that everything everyone has brought to us whether it’s projects LED projects or even small and big projects of any kind… i want you to know that your artists have seen all of it. and there is truly not a single thing that has no value to us. it really really means so much to us. why don’t you believe me? i swear. so thank you all so much. and i hope everyone will be happy. no matter what happens i want everyone to be happy. i always tell everyone that no matter what i want you to love yourselves very much. cause on the day that everyone truly loves themselves that means i get to see my fans loving themselves… i get to see you all loving yourselves. i really don’t know what else to say anymore
🌻love you so much rak mak
🌞speaking as an artist i truly don’t want my fans to have to struggle even for a single day. thank you
🌻: love you

Part 1: A little message to my DungJangs. 🤍
My loves,
I’ve been sitting here for a while, trying to find the right words, and I genuinely don’t know where to begin.
I know many of you have been waiting for me to say something, especially because I’ve received so many messages asking me not to stop writing JoongDunk stories.
And I want you to know that I see you. I read your messages, I see how heartbroken everyone is, and trust me when I say that I understand exactly how you’re feeling because I’m sitting here feeling the same way.
I don’t think I’ve fully processed today’s announcement myself.
JoongDunk have been such a big part of my life, especially when it comes to writing. I’ve spent so much time creating stories, characters, families, and entire worlds around them. I’ve met so many wonderful people because of them, built this little community with all of you, and found so much happiness in something that started with simply loving two people together.
And now I’m sitting here wondering what happens next.
I think what hurts the most is that I always knew nothing lasts forever. There is no such thing as a guarantee that a ship will continue forever, and I was always aware of that.
I just never thought it would end this soon.
Only a few months ago, I saw Joong and Dunk in person for the very first time at their fan meeting in Rome. I still remember how happy I was, how excited I felt, and how much that experience meant to me.
And now, only months later, we’re reading an announcement that their journey as a pair has officially come to an end.
It’s honestly heartbreaking.
But I also want to say something very clearly: I respect their decision.
Whatever their reasons may be, whatever direction they want their careers to take, they deserve to make those choices without having to carry the disappointment or anger of thousands of people on their shoulders.
I personally believe that ending their professional work as a pair doesn’t automatically mean they’ve stopped being friends or caring about each other. The connection and memories we’ve witnessed don’t suddenly become meaningless because their work together has ended.
But at the same time, we don’t know everything about their private lives, and we don’t need to.
I just wish them both happiness, success, and everything good that life has to offer.
Now, about my stories.
I’ve thought about this a lot today, and I’ve come to a decision.
For now, I will continue writing JoongDunk AUs. 🤍
I know that might surprise some of you, especially because I genuinely don’t know how I’m going to feel when I sit down to write my next chapter.
Writing about them while knowing we probably won’t be getting new moments, interactions, or projects together anymore is going to hurt.
A lot of my motivation and inspiration came from seeing them together. Their chemistry, their friendship, their little moments, and simply watching them being JoongDunk.
And I don’t know yet what writing will feel like without that.
But there’s another reason I don’t want to stop.
You.
I’ve already seen people leaving the fandom, and I completely understand that decision. Everyone processes things differently. Some people will want to move on, some will need distance, and others will want to hold on to the memories a little longer.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of those choices.
But I’ve also seen so many of you asking me to please keep writing. Telling me that my stories have become something you look forward to, something that makes you happy, something that allows you to escape into another world for a little while.
And I keep thinking about how much we’ve already lost today.
My brain might be wired differently but if this words from Dunk was after that decision was taken, it actually felt sweeter because he was not talking about their public partnership anymore and he still wants Joong to be with him in every chapter in his life 😭
