#BlackmoresFizzersxJimmySeaNamtan
💬 Q&A — How is the workshop and behind-the-scenes work for your new series project, “I Will Always Save You”, going so far? Where are things at now?
💜 Jimmy: We’re currently still in the process. I expect the behind-the-scenes team will keep giving fans regular updates about what we’re doing each day.
💜 Jimmy: I think our team has actually been updating things really quickly. For example, we had just finished a workshop less than 15 minutes ago, and they had already posted an update for the fans to let them know what we’d been doing. They’re really fast!
💜 Jimmy: As for the details of the story, we might be able to answer those questions after it airs.
🩵 Sea: Yeah, we want to keep them as surprises.
🤎 Namtan: Oh! So you’re playing a “Luk Thung” singer too, Sea?
🩵 Sea:Yes! I have to play a “Luk Thung” singer.
** NOTE: “Luk Thung” (ลูกทุ่ง) — A traditional Thai popular music genre, often known for its distinctive melodies.
🤎 Namtan:Ooh… I guarantee you’re going to have tons of “Mae Yok” fans following you! Just wait and see — you’ll have garlands made of money hanging around your neck!
🩵 Sea: Absolutely! Starting with one from you, Mae Namtan. 😊
🤎 Namtan: Get ready to practice catching them!
** NOTE: “Mae Yok” (แม่ยก) — A Thai term for devoted fans, traditionally referring to older female fans who strongly support and often financially support performers.
🎤 Host: So that means you’ll definitely get the chance to sing Luk Thung songs too, right?
🩵 Sea: Yes, that’s right.
🤎 Namtan: Ooh, I’m excited for you! I already love Luk Thung music myself, and I’ve never had the chance to see him as..
🩵 Sea: You could say we’re both originally from Ayutthaya.
🤎 Namtan: Yes! We’re both from that Luk Thung culture, so naturally we connect with this kind of music. I’m also curious to see what it’ll be like to see a Luk Thung singer who looks this handsome!
🩵 Sea: (strikes a handsome pose) 😎
🎤 Host: And what are your expectations for Sea?
🤎 Namtan: I expect him to have a really soft singing voice. I’ve actually never heard him sing genuine, organic luk thung before — like proper, authentic Luk Thung.
🤎 Namtan:You’re going to have your own Luk Thung song coming out too, right?
🩵 Sea: Yes… Oops!! (surprised) 😳 I don’t know. I don’t know! (pretending to deny it)
🤎 Namtan: Of course you will!
🎤 Host: Sea, why don’t you try acting a little sweet and charming for all your Mae Yok fans?
🩵 Sea: “Grrr…” (does a dramatic Luk Thung-style vocal run) Let’s just leave it at that for now. I’ll save the real flirting for the series. ☺️

🎤 Host:
What about your character, Jimmy? How much can you reveal?
💜 Jimmy: I’ll give you a hint: “Inspector Jae.” Let’s just leave it at that for now.
🤎 Namtan: Really?
💜 Jimmy: To be honest, when I went to watch the “Junior–Mark” concert, I didn’t even know who Inspector Jae was. I only found out about him after that day.
** NOTE: Someone took a photo of Jimmy sitting in the audience during the concert, and people online joked that his serious posture and appearance made him look just like Inspector Jae.
🎤 Host: So you had actually seen Inspector Jae on the internet before?
💜 Jimmy: No! People online were teasing me, saying that the way I dressed and sat made me look like Inspector Jae.
💜 Jimmy: I had never even heard of him before, so I thought, “Who is this guy? Who is Inspector Jae?” So I searched for him — and then I discovered…
“Oh my god, this is fucking identical!”
🗣️ Everyone: Hahahahaha!
