This is Faye’s Q&A with the press. Minute 32:48 Reporter: Before you went to see the psychologist, were there any problems along the way between you and your former partner, and with the company? Faye: If you ask whether there were problems, there were moments of sulking or feeling a bit hurt. We worked together, spent time together, and talked all the time. But I don’t know what the actual problem was. If it was work-related, I think it’s normal to have minor hurt feelings sometimes. We never let those things affect our work, because I had a lot of confidence in my partner. We were a good team. I don’t understand what happened. Reporter: Did you ever talk with your former partner about what happened? Faye: Yes. Nong said, “I don’t know what happened either.” We both learned about that same question being raised on that day at the same time as each other. After that, we didn’t touch the topic again. We were still talking about when we’d have a new series. I even asked P’Pin if I would get to act in another series. P’Pin isn’t part of the company, but he works and talks with the executives, so I hoped I could ask him things that he might know. “If you know anything, please tell me.” That’s what I asked P’Pin. That’s all I knew. So that’s why I’ve said I didn’t know my own plan. Reporter: When was the last time you spoke with your former partner? Faye: February 9. Reporter: And after that, you didn’t talk again? Faye: Nong didn’t reply to my LINE messages. Reporter: Was there no calling, or an attempt to connect somehow? Faye: Isn’t not replying already an answer? Reporter: Even without knowing the reason, wouldn’t not knowing make you want to find an answer? Faye: And where exactly should I find that answer? Reporter: I mean, when you saw there was no sign from her of wanting to contact you… Faye: I don’t know everything about what anyone thinks or feels. What I do know is that we were planning to spend Valentine’s Day together. After that, I don’t know what happened. Before then, we were replying to LINE within seconds. Then I don’t remember the exact time, maybe a little after 9 p.m. I messaged because I hadn’t seen a reply, asking where she’d like to go, what she wanted to do: “Just tell me, I’m here and I’ll take you.” There was no reply. I thought maybe she wanted personal time or was busy with something. I’m not the type to pester; I figured she’d answer eventually. After that, there was never any reply. I didn’t dare message again asking what happened, because some people might have things on their mind, or some people just want time alone. I didn’t know. Like anyone, if you want to share, you will. Was I supposed to intrude? I really didn’t know. Reporter: So you’re still left hanging? Faye: Yes. Reporter: About what happened? Faye: Yes. Reporter: For many months? Faye: Yes. I’ve been living with not knowing — trying to find answers, getting none, and not knowing where to find them. Reporter: On what date did you terminate your contract? Faye: …I ended it around… Reporter: Before her press conference, or after? Faye: ....March. Reporter: She spoke on March 13. Faye: Right, it should have been before that. Reporter: Early March… Faye: I don’t remember the exact date. Reporter: Before or after? Faye: Probably before. Reporter: What made you decide to end the contract? Faye: As I said, I couldn’t see a path for myself. But I can tell you this: I never abandoned anyone and I mean that sincerely. Reporter: What made it impossible to just wait it out until the contract expired? Faye: It was purely about work direction, living with confusion, with questions that never got answers, with no plan. So what was I supposed to be waiting around for? I don’t know what plans the company had for anyone else, but as for me, I never knew of any plan. Reporter: Do you remember what they said when you went in to ask for the termination? Faye: I remember it clearly. Reporter: Please tell us. Faye: What I said to her was essentially: about the things I’d heard, were they true? If they weren’t true, how were we supposed to continue together? Reporter: Was this about 4E? (Faye turns to ask her lawyer if she can speak on this; the lawyer says yes.) Faye: Yes, it was about 4E. About the claims that there was fighting, that we couldn’t work together, and that I had to shut down production. I heard this from a senior, so I asked her: Did you actually say that? I didn’t know the root cause why I wasn’t in the project; when did we supposedly fight; when did I “shut down”? I don’t have the authority to shut down a production. I’m just an actress. I would never destroy my own reputation by doing something like that. So I asked: If it isn’t true, did you say that or not? If it is like that, how are we supposed to continue together? And what about my plan? Reporter: And what did she say when you asked whether it was true? Faye: She asked me who I heard it from. I replied, “Well, which senior did you talk to then?” But she didn’t give me any answer. Reporter: Did she try to keep you? Ask you to stay? Faye: Not at all. She would have signed it that very day, even. But I had some pending work, so I finished that first. Reporter: When did it take effect? Faye: March 31, not March 1. I’m not great with numbers. Reporter: From September to March, they said there was harassment toward the former partner and former company, and conflicts. What’s your view? Faye: Let me put it this way: some things weren’t explained, and questions weren’t addressed. As you all saw, my mental state was shattered. Healing takes time for some it’s not long, for some it’s two months, for others ten years or five years. Everyone’s healing timeline is different. I felt that if speaking would hurt someone emotionally, especially the fans, then I wouldn’t speak. But as time passed, the impact grew on people around me, on the fans’ emotional state, and on my own. That’s why I’m speaking today. Reporter: During that period, did you face anti-fans? Faye: I don’t see them as anti-fans. I see them as people who didn’t understand. I still respect them. I was hurt just like the fans were; I felt the same. I don’t see them as anti-fans, and I’m not angry, because I know some things came from misunderstanding. That’s all. Reporter: Were you harassed? Faye: What kind of harassment? Reporter: Being followed to different places, for example. Faye: Yes, but it’s been resolved. I believe in the fans’ love for us. I just asked for personal space, and they understood. Reporter: Many people link your going solo to the idea that Nong confessed her feelings for you, so you decided to split. Is that true? Faye: Link it how? (Reporter clarifies): They link it to Nong confessing real feelings for you, which made you uncomfortable. Faye: I wasn’t uncomfortable at all, everyone. What people saw came from genuine feelings. We’ve always been clear that we’re good partners and good PhiNong to each other. We once had good feelings for each other — so why shouldn’t we still be on good terms? I wasn’t uncomfortable. We were together, worked together. Naturally, we’d have good feelings for each other and be good partners. There was no discomfort. Reporter: So even with Nong saying she felt more than just a partnership, no discomfort? Faye: No discomfort. Reporter: You knew how Nong felt? Faye: Nong only said she had good feelings. I told her I had good feelings too — good feelings for each other. Reporter: She confessed… Faye: The “confession” didn’t specify what kind of love or what it was. That was never said. It was only that we had good feelings for each other. Reporter: Are you sad that your pairing became so popular amid the new wave of yuri couples and then suddenly stopped? Faye: Am I sad? I think I feel more sorry for the fans’ feelings. Reporter: What do you think about being attacked by your former partner’s fanbase? Faye: As I said, there are things I never spoke about. If there were misunderstandings, today I’d like people to look at my side too. I don’t wish anyone ill. People have the right to love different artists. If fans defend the artist they love, that’s not wrong. But please don’t spread untrue things. Don’t say things that harm others. I’m speaking now because there has been an impact. I had never spoken up before. There were problems and consequences: some gigs were canceled, some things were reported. Maybe because of confusion or because I myself had never spoken up. Reporter: Why wait so long? They spoke early in the year, but you’re speaking at the end. Faye: I thought about it a lot. I tried so many times to speak. I really tried, but my mental state wasn’t ready. Even at Timeless Love, I told the fans I would speak, but when I saw their faces, I felt that sometimes the truth might hurt someone, especially me. If I spoke, I’d be hurting too. Some things take time to process. Today, I feel strong enough to speak. With this statement, I’m not attacking anyone. I’m not hurting anyone. I’m speaking from my perspective and about what actually happened. Reporter: After people hear your reasons, do you think the impact on your work will decrease? Will the direction turn positive? Faye: I don’t know. What I do know is that I’ve spoken from my side. Many people were curious and wanted me to speak. Feelings are delicate. Today I’ve overcome myself to speak, and I’ve cleared up at least some questions. I’ve done my best. Reporter: How will you prepare yourself if you have a new partner but many fans can’t move on from the former one? How will you communicate? Faye: First, I want to empathize with the fans. I understand the love and attachment to the former partner, the characters, the story. I understand. But as an actress, I need to bring new work to the fans. As for a new partner, let time decide. How we’ll work together, what the new pairing will be like, please stay tuned for the future. Reporter: Are you worried about starting your own company, whether work will come in? Faye: Worried? I just focus on doing my job the best I can and creating quality work. I believe the fans who are waiting are my only source of strength. I give my all every day without pressure or expectations, just being happy with my work. Reporter: How far along is your series? Faye: The script is nearly complete. There will definitely be something to see next year. The good news is: as an executive of Fabel Entertainment, I’ve signed a partnership with Moongdoo Production to produce a series for the fans. I’m happy to have quality people working with us, talented people joining in. It’s a win for the fans, and a happiness I want to give to them and to myself. And it won’t be just one project. I’m determined to make projects for the fans; seeing their smiles is the ultimate goal. Reporter: When will we get to watch it? Faye: Next year. Reporter: Mid-year? Faye: Early in the year, people will say I’m spoiling things. Reporter: When will it be ready to air? What phase are you in? Faye: We’re in the preparation phase. But next year for sure. Reporter: Ready to introduce a new partner? Faye: The fandom’s long-awaited “daughter-in-law” is coming. We’re preparing to launch a new series, definitely. Once Fabel and Moongdoo are collaborating, we’ll be working closely together. Reporter: Anything you’d like to add? Faye: Today I’ve spoken from my perspective, and I’m glad to have cleared up the questions people had. Next year there will be good things for fans to follow and enjoy. I’ll do my very best. Thank you to the seniors, to everyone in the industry, to my lawyer, to the fans, and to the media. Things are clear now, I feel at ease. Reporter: If anyone spreads fake news, sue them. Faye: I hope we can all understand each other. I don’t want to sue anyone, but I have to protect myself and those around me. Whatever the issue, I always tell my fans that I take responsibility for my actions and my words. I just want everyone to hear my side. #FayePeraya

I will translate only the parts where Faye was speaking. I will not translate the parts spoken by Pin or the reporters’ Q&A, because I couldn’t hear them clearly. Pin’s microphone and the reporters’ voices were not audible. Faye refers to the other person as น้อง “Nong” and เขา “Khao (she)” without mentioning a specific name. Therefore, whenever she says “น้อง,” I will translate it as Nong, and whenever she says “เขา,” I will translate it as she. 🔸Faye’s Statement Faye: First of all, good afternoon to all the seniors and members of the media. The matter I’m about to talk about today has been ongoing for a while now, and it has affected my work and the people around me. Today, I’d like to share my side of the story. I must admit that I was emotionally shattered, completely broken, to be honest, but I am finally ready to speak now because I have become stronger. 🔸About Work Looking back, I can say with confidence that I have always given my best and been sincere in my work with my former company. The partners I worked with were professional and supportive. We were always able to talk things through whenever problems arose. Everything went smoothly, and we never had any issues. I truly believed we were good partners all along. Whatever happened, we always held hands and worked together. 🔸About the Relationship Since we joined the same company, though I joined first, I can honestly say we were like "PhiNong" (พี่น้อง). The feelings I had for Nong were genuine; she was an adorable and important person to me. There was never a day that I felt we couldn’t talk if something went wrong. Of course, sometimes we misunderstood each other or got a little upset, but those moments never affected our work, not even once. That is, until February. Before Valentine’s Day, we talked about where to have dinner, whether we should bring our dogs, and which restaurants allow dogs, so we could make plans. I still don’t understand what happened. On February 9, I texted her, asking if she had decided on a restaurant. Since that day, she hasn’t read my messages. She hasn’t replied once. I truly don’t know what happened. Before that, we were still updating each other about our daily lives, rehearsals, meals, everything. So what changed before Valentine’s Day? I really don’t know. 🔸About “4E” This is something many fans have been wondering about, and so have I. I was never informed whether I would be cast or not. Fans started speculating because of emojis, sunflowers, and bubbles, and they could probably guess what it meant. I only knew as much as everyone else did. I wasn’t part of any discussions between the company and the seniors. One of the seniors called and asked, “Why aren’t you joining the project?” I replied, “No, that’s not true, I really want to join.” They told me, “It’s okay. There will be another opportunity for us to work together.” Another senior also called and asked, “Did you two fight so badly that you can’t work together anymore? Was the whole production canceled because of that?” And I can say clearly that was never the case. We never had a problem that stopped us from working. I always complimented Nong for her talent. However, as for the reason why it is this way, I honestly don’t know. What I can confirm is that I really wanted to be part of 4E. 🔸Phone Call with P’Took (4E) Faye: Today, with the kindness of the senior from the team behind 4E, I will make a phone call to speak with her. Faye: Hello, P’Took. We’re in the middle of a press conference right now. Could you please help clarify this issue? I want everyone to hear it directly from you. P’Took: What would you like me to talk about? Faye: About 4E, whether it’s true that I didn’t want to take part. P’Took: Of course. I’d be happy to. It’s now 2:00 PM on November 9. Greetings to everyone who’s here to listen to Faye. When I decided to invest in 4Elements, I intended for you to be in the project. However, the owner of Faye’s company later informed me that they wanted to withdraw her participation. The reason given was that they were concerned the two might not be able to work together smoothly and couldn’t take responsibility if any issues arose. Reporter: But the other side said they were never contacted about the project. P’Took: Wouldn’t it be strange to withdraw from something you were never invited to? If they requested to withdraw, that means there must have been an invitation in the first place. P’Took: Faye, I wish you all the best. Faye: As everyone now knows, I found out at the same time as the public did. But I never once said I didn’t want to be in the project. I’ve always wanted to. When the news came out that one pair had withdrawn, I hoped it wouldn’t be us. I always held on to the hope that I would be part of the project. 🔸About “Breaking the Pair” This topic has caused a lot of misunderstanding. Let me explain what really happened. One day before our fan meeting in Thailand, the company arranged for me, Nong, and the company owner to meet with a psychiatrist. The question they asked was: “Faye and Nong, can you imagine yourselves working separately if the pair were to be split?” That was the question I was given. I replied, “As an actress, my job is to act. If I need to play a rock, I’ll be a rock. I can do it.” After that, they asked me to see the psychiatrist again, but I refused. Because the first time, right before our fan meeting, it didn’t make me feel good at all. I needed all my strength then, so many fans were waiting for us. I had to stay strong. But I didn’t go back again, because it really hurt me emotionally. People misunderstood, thinking I wanted to split the pair or abandon Nong. That was never my intention. We only had one project together, and we even received an award as a duo. So why was the “split” blamed on me? Didn’t the company know about this? Why did the impact fall solely on me? That’s something I really want to ask. 🔸About Contract Termination Now, regarding why I left the company, this has been a big question. It began when the company called me in to discuss changing my contract from the old version to a new one. They said, “Please read and sign it today.” I replied that contracts are sensitive and important, so I needed time to read it carefully. Later, I reviewed it, made some edits, and sent it back. I said, “Honestly, the old contract is fairer.” They said, “Okay, then we’ll keep the old one.” But there was never any talk about future plans, nothing about what’s next. To me, everything felt dark and uncertain. The only path I could see was my own. We never discussed any plans, even though I asked several times; I never got an answer. That’s why I decided to end my contract. This career is my life. But if there’s no future, then there’s no happiness. Waking up every day without a goal is not living. So the only way forward was to walk my own path. I never intended to leave anyone behind, and I never planned this. But after leaving, I was completely devastated. Still, I received so much support from people inside and outside the industry, and especially from my fans. That strength helped me heal. Everything people have misunderstood. I hope they can now hear from my side. I never wanted to hurt anyone. That’s why I decided to end the contract. Even on the day I left, I still had good feelings. She once said to me, “If one day you do well, I’ll be happy for you.” So we parted on good terms, and I choose to remember only the good things. We’re like PhiNong in the entertainment industry. I never meant to harm anyone. I’ll just keep focusing on my work, creating good projects for my fans. My fans are my only motivation. Without them, I wouldn’t be standing here today. Finally, I want to thank all the fans and senior figures who have always supported me and given me opportunities. From now on, if I see or receive any message that defames me or damages my reputation and affects my work, I will take legal action to the fullest extent, with no compromise. Thank you very much for listening. #FayePeraya
