Nichkhun and 2PM have no time to rest

But he’s hardly ever in Thailand for more than a few hours before he has
to get back on a plane and return to Seoul. The best his family can hope
for is a quick hug in the hotel room.
Since joining 2PM, Nichkhun’s longest visit back home was for the production of “Rak Jed Pee Dee Jed Hon”, the omnibus movie project to celebrate the seventh anniversary of film studio GTH. It’ll be released in July.
Nichkhun says he wishes he could spend more time in his homeland. And
his 2PM bandmates are anxious to have an extended Thai holiday, maybe
with Nichkhun as their tour guide.
But who knows when they’ll ever get a break? The Korean boys will all
have to report for military duty – that’s the best chance for them to
relax. And then, hopefully, Nichkhun can take a little R-and-R as well.

Stars feel the heat
Actress Bongkot “Tak” Kongmalai, under fire for her Facebook message
that the death of lese majeste detainee Amphon “Akong” Tangnoppakul was
“karma”, was chased recently by red-shirt supporters, who came out in
force to drive her and a film crew from a movie location in Pattaya.
She was shaken by the incident, but says she’s not the least bit fearful.
Now another celebrity has entered the fray. Singer Phatchara “Fluke the
Star” Dhammol came out in support of “Uncle SMS”, taking to Twitter
with angry messages to the police and the judiciary that decried the
20-year jail term imposed on the ailing Akong. His tweets were
deemed as rude, damaging his superstar image and resulting in cancellations of his shows.
Some people may think in a country where differences of opinion are not
tolerated, it’s best to keep your mouth shut. Well, some politically conscious
celebrities, like Tak and Fluke, beg to differ – fear not, you’ve got the right to
speak out. That’s democracy.
