In the bustling heart of Thailand’s entertainment scene, a young prodigy by the name of Chawarin Perdpiriyawong, affectionately known as NuNew, shines brightly. Born on July 25, 2001, in the vibrant city of Bangkok, NuNew stands tall at 173 cm, embodying the quintessential image of a rising star. With a dynamic flair for both acting and singing, he has captivated audiences not only in Thailand but throughout Asia, becoming a cherished icon of talent and charisma.
NuNew’s journey to fame is a story worthy of the big screen. His breakout role as the charming Kuea Keerati in the popular Boys’ Love series “Cutie Pie” catapulted him into stardom. Fans were enamored by his portrayal of the sweet, musically gifted character, and the electrifying chemistry he shared with his co-star, Zee Pruk. This series was a launching pad that introduced NuNew’s multifaceted talents to a wider audience.
But acting was just one facet of this multitalented star. By 2025, NuNew had ascended to greater heights with his lead role in “The Next Prince Series,” a Thai romantic action drama that resonated with viewers far and wide. This series not only showcased his acting chops but also highlighted his vocal prowess through the acclaimed soundtrack, “Above”. With each note, his voice soared, proving his versatility and unwavering commitment to his craft.
The story of NuNew is one that began with promise and a touch of the extraordinary. His early years were a blend of ordinary pursuits—school, games, and cartoons. Yet beneath this was a bubbling passion for performing arts, particularly singing. Even as a child, NuNew would eagerly participate in competitions, driven not by the lure of fame but by his love for the art.
His professional odyssey took off when he signed with Domundi TV, a company renowned for producing crowd-pleasing BL dramas. It was here that his talent was truly recognized, culminating in the life-altering role of Kuea in “Cutie Pie”. It was a part that brought immense visibility and paved the way for his burgeoning career.
July 2023 marked a pivotal turn in his career when NuNew unveiled his first solo single, “Anything”. The ballad was a heartfelt tribute to his devoted fans, aptly expressing the gratitude and aspirations that fueled his journey. This momentous occasion was followed by his inaugural solo concert, “DREAM CATCHER”, a significant milestone that further solidified his standing in the music industry.
NuNew’s journey has not been without its challenges. “Try and fail, but don’t fail to try,” he often muses, echoing the resilience he’s shown throughout his career. Despite his passion and participation in numerous competitions, NuNew initially viewed himself as just another boy with dreams and a love for art.
When the opportunity arose for him to enter the entertainment industry during his first year at university, it was both daunting and exhilarating. With limited experience, gaining recognition was no small feat. It was a slow, painstaking process of auditions, workshops, and more, only to face a devastating setback when a major project he was involved in was suddenly shelved. For many, this might have been a sign to give up, but not for NuNew.
“After that, no one really noticed me, and I almost gave up,” he candidly shared. “Some might say it was too early to feel that way after just one project, but I kept going. Looking back, I have no regrets about holding on and continuing to move forward.”
His persistence bore fruit with the highly anticipated “The Next Prince Series” in 2025, which saw him step into the glittering shoes of a determined crown prince. Starring alongside Zee Pruk, who plays his loyal royal bodyguard, the series is rich with intrigue and romance. After three years in development, it received critical acclaim for its engaging plot and the sparkling chemistry between its leads.
Both actors relished the collaboration, as they shared, “We were thrilled from the beginning, constantly imagining how everything would come together. We also had the chance to work with respected senior actors, and we believe fans will be truly impressed.”
In the end, NuNew’s tale is one of hope and resilience. “Every cloud has a silver lining,” and for NuNew, perseverance through failure and rejection carved out the path to his success. Each challenge transformed into a stepping stone, helping him evolve into the megastar adored by fans today. As he continues to enchant audiences, NuNew stands as a testament to the power of following one’s dreams, proving that with talent and tenacity, even the loftiest of skies can be within reach.
I think NuNew is incredibly talented, but I can’t help but wonder if the hype around him is more about the ‘Boys’ Love’ trend than his actual skills.
BL series are definitely a big part of his popularity, but his vocal talent is undeniable. Have you heard ‘Anything’? It’s amazing!
I have to admit, ‘Anything’ is pretty good, but still, trends can inflate careers unfairly.
‘Anything’ is an anthem for fans! His skills go way beyond trends. Watch his live performances; they’re mesmerizing!
Isn’t it problematic that people are glorifying someone from such a specific genre? It seems like BL series are just a shortcut to fame without real acting challenges.
That’s not fair. It’s a legitimate genre with complicated storylines. NuNew and his co-stars take their roles seriously.
I guess genres have their own challenges, but I still worry it limits the real growth of an actor.
BL or not, his performance in ‘The Next Prince Series’ shows he’s more than a genre actor. He’s got range.
Every genre has its value. BL dramas tackle themes like acceptance and representation, which are crucial.
NuNew’s journey is so inspiring! From setbacks to solo concerts, he’s proof that resilience pays off.
Indeed, his persistence is remarkable. But is it just me, or does every young star seem to have a ‘setbacks’ story now?
True, but maybe that’s because the industry is really tough and these stories are quite common.
It’s impressive how NuNew has balanced acting and music. Not many can do both well.
Right? It’s rare to find someone who can genuinely excel in multiple areas. He’s like the Thai triple threat.
I think NuNew’s career is heavily driven by social media influence. Without it, he’d just be another actor.
His concerts are a testament to his popularity, though. They sell out super fast!
Popularity and talent aren’t the same. Social media has inflated a lot of average artists’ fame.
I don’t think his success is due to just sheer luck or trends. His dedication to his craft is evident.
Are there more actors like him in Thailand? It seems like a booming industry for sure.
Absolutely! The Thai entertainment scene has been growing, with a lot of rising stars similar to NuNew.
Why does everyone only talk about his success? Actors like him should also focus on education.
Maybe he already does? We can’t assume he isn’t just because he focuses on his career.
Since when do looks and charm overshadow hard work? Acting is about skill people!
There’s more to him than just looks. His performances have depth.
The transformation from ‘ordinary’ life to a star sounds quite orchestrated to me.
Most successful careers are, but it’s the talent and the effort that cement the journey.
The chemistry with his co-star is nothing short of electric. That’s a huge part of his appeal.
His voice in the soundtrack ‘Above’ is heart-melting. Anyone can relate to his songs!
Stories like his are so rare nowadays. It’s refreshing to see someone stick to their dreams despite the odds.
