The Rise of New Chayapak: A Journey to Stardom in 'Gelboys'
New Chayapak Tunprayoon transitions from a student with unclear ambitions to a prominent actor with the lead role in the upcoming series 'Gelboys'.
New Chayapak Tunprayoon, known simply as New, is a burgeoning Thai actor and singer whose rise to fame has captivated audiences both online and off.
Born on October 30, 2000, in Bangkok, Thailand, New has gained significant attention for his lead role as Four-Mod in the eagerly awaited iQIYI original series 'Gelboys', set for release in 2025.
New's journey to stardom has not been straightforward.
Initially, he underwent several name changes during his youth, a reflection of his early struggles in academia and social expectations.
In a light-hearted recounting of his past during an interview, New shared humorous tales of his school days, where he often found himself asleep in class or rushing to complete assignments at the last minute.
This behavior led his parents to rename him 'Chayapak,' which translates to 'a person loved by many.'
In his early years, New expressed a lack of proficiency in sports, academics, and even his favorite video games.
He once identified business as a potential career path, following in his father’s footsteps, but without a clear passion of his own.
His experience at Suankularb Wittayalai School saw his academic performance decline, influenced largely by his desire to socialize with friends.
Nonetheless, he values those high school memories, noting their significance in his life.
As he approached the end of high school, New felt a pressing need to find direction.
He enrolled at Srinakharinwirot University, majoring in cinema and digital media.
This decision marked a turning point in his life.
During his university years, he participated in the Nadao Academy's Star Trainee Programme, where he auditioned for acting roles.
He made his debut in the series 'I Promised You The Moon' (2021), a sequel to the popular BL series 'I Told Sunset About You.' This role connected him with Boss Kuno, the director of 'Gelboys.'
While honing his craft, New interned as an assistant on the production of 'Paradise of Throne' (2024) and appeared in various independent projects, including roles in the horror film 'The Antique Shop' (2022) and the drama 'Thank You Teacher' (2023), where he worked alongside notable actors like Cherprang Areekul.
His portrayal of Four-Mod in 'Gelboys' has been described as charismatic and authentic, closely resembling his real-life persona.
This role has garnered him considerable recognition in the entertainment industry.
Additionally, New showcased his musical talents by performing in the series' original soundtrack, 'Red Flag.' His co-stars have lauded his professionalism, highlighting how he meticulously prepares for his roles, a significant departure from his earlier academic habits.
New Chayapak's evolution from a student with unclear ambitions to a recognized figure in the entertainment industry reflects his dedication and passion for acting, earning him admiration from peers and fans alike.
