Career

edit

Tanapon made his acting debut as Breeze in the 2017 drama series Soul Call. In 2018, he became widely known for his portrayal of Ae Intouch, the male lead in the Thai BL series Love By Chance alongside Suppapong Udomkaewkanjana who played the role of Pete Pitchaya. Their performance in the series helped them gain fame and fans all over East and Southeast Asia and parts of Europe, America, and Latin America.

TEMPT, a six membered boy-group, was introduced on 5 January 2019. All six members acted in the series Love By Chance and the original line-up consisted of Katsamonnat Namwirote, Rathavit Kijworalak, Kirati Puangmalee, Napat na Ranong, Siwat Jumlongkul, and Tanapon. The meaning of their group-name is to attract, convince and captivate: convince others with their talents, attract the attention and captivate the love of people. Due to schedule conflicts TEMPT debuted without Katsamonat and Siwat on 24 July 2019 with their first single "Tell Me... Is This Love" (ใช่...ใช่ไหม). They made their first comeback on March 18 with their second single "Be With Me Tonight". The band was managed by AttractorTH.[1]

In November 2019, he played the role of Krit in The Stranded, produced by GMM Grammy's Bravo Studios and H2L Media Group in association with Netflix Studios, He starred in the series together with Papangkorn Lerkchaleampote, Chutawut Phatrakampol and Oabnithi Wiwattanawarang.

In 2020, Tanapon relived his character as Ae Intouch on Love By Chance 2: A Chance to Love, this time in a supporting role.

On 13 July 2020, Tanapon left his management AttractorTH along with Rathavit Kijworalak and Napat na Ranong due to an "internal matter," insisting there were no hard feelings behind the decision; he then worked as a freelancer for a year.

In 2020 he joined a 10-member collaboration boy group under MBO called Boyfriends, which consist of him, Kanawut Traipipattanapong, Noppakao Dechaphatthanakun, Talay Sanguandikul, Rueangrit Siriphanit, Sapol Assawamunkong, Sittichok Pueakpoolpol, Gavin Duval, Nontanun Anchuleepradit and Wanarat Ratsameerat. He was paired up with Rueangrit Siriphanit and they released their first single "Hello Doctor" (อาการงี้) in September 2020.[2]

In October 2020, it was announced that he would star in the movie Tell the World I Love You together with Suradet Piniwat. It was supposed to be released on Valentines Day 2021, but was later moved back to 27 January 2022.

On 4 April 2022, Tanapon was announced as the newest GMMTV's talent through its official Instagram and Twitter.
