"The Paradise of Thorns" is a super important project in Keng's career, and every day I'm grateful that he passed the audition and was able to bring Jingnah to life.
The filming delayed Khemjira's, and both Keng and Namping (one more than the other) received criticism once the film was released. The whole process brought positive things but also negative ones, to the point that KengNamping have expressed how it changed their relationship. First, Namping distanced himself from their ship to give Keng more space to flourish and be in the spotlight, while Keng saw all the support and genuine happiness that Namping felt for him, which made him realize how important his presence is in his life. The relationship had to dip before reaching a higher and more stable point, where they even hinted that Namping was willing to let Keng go so he could continue his career alone, while at the same time, Keng was determined to continue and succeed with Namping as long as he didn't let him go.
That's why KengNamping have never tried to erase or diminish anything about the movie and its promotion, and the fandom continues to promote the project to this day, and we always love and encourage their interaction with Jeff (and Engfa) cause they both maintain an excellent relationship with them.
Our only "but" is that some of you can never be normal about this.
Neither Jeff nor Keng wanted to promote the ship for their own reasons, and the production never pushed them for it (and it goes without saying that Namping isn't to blame for these decisions). It's great to keep promoting and talking about TPOT, but many of you use these opportunities to give cruel and hurtful opinions. Many of you don't even care about Jeff and his career or fans, nor do you care about Keng's opinion, and you certainly don't care about Namping, who always gets brought up to get criticized and hate on when he doesn't even have anything to do with TPOT.
Did you like the movie and the chemistry between Jeff and Keng? Great! We feel the same way. But if you're going to use this as an opportunity to offer unconstructive and hateful opinions that disrespect everyone involved, we obviously have the right to be mad and defend the artist we follow and their decisions, especially when this situation escalates every time someone outside KengNamping's and Jeff's fandom starts the conversation.
It's been two years now, and we ask you to get over it because it didn't and is not going to happen. And what you consider "a harmless post" is, for the artist and the fandom, a tiresome conversation that only fuels a hate train to the artist.
“khem is very optimistic, and he brings so much positive energy to others, just like Namping in real life.”
i have so much respect and love for the artist Namping is, he pours so much of himself into everything… no wonder there couldn’t be a better Khemjira.
some fans still throwing shade on np coz they don’t want him for keng…
then there’s keng who literally looks at namping as if he’s his whole world— unchanging, unwavering, unbothered, then and now.
🙂↕️🤲
also i want to add that i loved TPOT, the chemistry, acting, visuals and everything. I keep talking about it because its really good, but i ask people to not use this as a chance to invalidate Keng's official partner. In any worlds and any timeline, Namping will always be his best partner whether you see it or not because Keng said it himself.
been holding myself back from saying this but some of you act like Keng was held on a gunpoint when he chose Namping as his partner. He had multiple instances where if he really wanted to leave, he could. Paradise of Thorns was filmed and aired around the same time or after KNP became official. He has got all the fame then. The movie was a massive hit. He had a choice. He could have broke it there and then and moved on with someone else but he didn't. In other words, he CHOSE Namping to be the person he want to travel with in this journey, in this line of work. He chose Namping again and again and again so idk what yall are on to say this person or that person is the best partner for Keng. Keng is a fully grown adult with brains who can make his own decisions who he wants to act with and who he wants to be paired with. He has said a million times that he wants to be with Namping, he feels safe, happy and comfortable with Namping. But you have selective hearing, you don't even care about him, you just care about getting clout.
Approximate translation:
🧋: They were debating who liked the other first, Mae Hong Son or Phayao? They both liked each other at the same time, case closed!!
One reason some haters are so eager to drag them down is because they're already making a noticeable impact despite being rookies. When artists are doing well, they naturally attract both support and criticism.
What makes KengNamping stand out is their maturity and professionalism. They're so composed in the way they handle their work that people often forget they're still relatively new to the entertainment industry. Rather than relying solely on typical school-based romance storylines, they take on projects that explore deeper themes like angst, culture, social issues, and even topics that spark meaningful conversations among viewers.
KengNamping isn't your typical BL pairing. They use their platform to share their thoughts, inspire others, and bring attention to subjects that matter. Their projects encourage discussion instead of just providing entertainment, which is something not every rookie duo is willing to do.
For artists who are still early in their careers, they've already managed to leave a strong impression on audiences. Their willingness to step outside conventional formulas and take creative risks has helped them carve out a unique place in the Thai entertainment industry. Being rookies hasn't stopped them from making an impact, it has only made their achievements even more remarkable.
Khemjira the Series
Still Holding Up the Moon
Magic Lover
Uke the Series
Each series leaves viewers asking questions, what happened, when did it happen, where is this leading, how will it unfold, and who is really behind it all? Instead of spoon-feeding every answer, they challenge the audience to pay attention, analyze details, and connect the dots themselves.
What makes these projects stand out is their ability to spark curiosity and discussion long after an episode ends. Whether it's the mystery, emotional depth, cultural elements, social commentary, or complex character dynamics, they give viewers something to think about rather than simply consume.
KENGNAMPING BRAND IS BRANDING YOU KNOW 🙂↕️
