Who are Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat?
I've seen this question repeatedly, especially after the latest Paris Fashion Week rankings. And now, apparently, even their numbers are being questioned.
So perhaps it's time to talk about who they are, what they've achieved, and what these results actually mean from a marketing and PR perspective.
First, let me introduce you to LingOrm, if you don't know them. 👌
Two Thai actresses, Two different personalities, each building her own career, identity and influence.
Together, they've created something extraordinary: a loyal fandom crossing borders, languages, cultures and markets.
Two consecutive sold-out concerts at IMPACT Arena, attracting fans from around the world without a massive promotional campaign.
Products selling out almost immediately, even during a period of economic uncertainty. That's not just popularity. That's real consumer influence.
And who said their audience is limited to GL fans?
Their appeal goes far beyond one genre. Families, different generations, LGBTQ+ communities and straight people like us all connect with them.
Because their chemistry is rare. Natural, and impossible to manufacture. They have a warmth that makes people feel comfortable, welcomed and emotionally connected, regardless of language or background.
They don't need everyone to belong to their community. They make everyone feel like they belong.
And brands recognise that power: turning attention into trust, affection into loyalty, and influence into commercial value.
This is their era. Not because someone gave them a place, but because they earned it. 🤍
And now, Paris Fashion Week SS27
According to Lefty and Karla Otto:
Orm Kornnaphat $112.3M EMV
Lingling Kwong $88.8M EMV
Together, more than $200M in Earned Media Value, accounting for approximately two-thirds of Dior's total media impact, through 36 combined posts.
And yet, some people are still asking whether their engagement is real.
Let's talk about that.
1) Their fans buy likes. It's all bots
Every celebrity account attract fake accounts, automated engagement and suspicious followers. This is not something exclusive to Thai entertainment, K-pop or any particular fandom.
But we need to understand how professional analytics work.
Platforms such as Lefty use AI and statistical models to evaluate audience quality, detect suspicious accounts and assess performance.
No system is perfect, and impressions are not impossible to manipulate. But dismissing an entire campaign as fake simply because its results are extraordinary is not serious analysis.
And here's my question.
Did bots invite LingOrm to Paris Fashion Week?
Did bots create the international magazine coverage?
Did bots become professional photographers, editors, journalists and industry insiders producing content about them?
Did bots make brands repeatedly recognise their commercial potential?
You can question a number. You can examine a methodology. That's perfectly reasonable.
But you cannot erase an entire ecosystem of measurable activity simply because you dislike the result.
2. They only ranked because they posted too much.
Yes, LingOrm published 36 posts combined. And yes, content volume can contribute to EMV.
But posting more does not automatically guarantee the highest ranking.
Look at Lefty's London Fashion Week SS27 rankings.
The artists ranked 2nd and 3rd published only two posts each, while those ranked 4th and 5th published three posts each.
Yet the artists with fewer posts generated higher EMV.
This proves an important point: posting more does not automatically mean generating more impact. It's not simply about quantity, but about the performance and value each post creates.(1)
