Digital Cover: Aimm Sanpetch Kunakorn: A Rising Star Ready to Make a Big Impact in the Entertainment Industry!

"...It's rare to find someone unfamiliar with Aimm Sanpetch Kunakorn, the charismatic twenty-year-old heir of Doo Sanya Kunakorn, who has established himself as a prominent figure. #legend_th has selected him as our first digital cover model, showcasing the elegance of Citizen watches that seamlessly complement various personalities and fashion styles..."

After earning a bachelor’s degree in biology from Loyola Marymount University in the United States, he seamlessly transitioned into the entertainment industry. His charismatic presence, captivating smile, and lifelong passion for performing paved the way. Seizing the opportunity, he embarked on his acting career under the guidance of Channel One, which has some exciting work in the pipeline for us to look forward to. "I've had a long-standing interest in acting. As a quiet person who enjoyed being alone as a child, I have watched a lot of movies and TV shows, mainly dramas. With my father as an idol, I was keen to try working like him. I wanted to stretch myself as an actor by taking on a variety of roles. Despite my shyness and fear, I never expected to have the opportunity to be an actor, but when the opportunity came, I wanted to try it. The characters I wish to play are quite different from my true self. I want to do new things rather than simply be myself. My current projects are in the final stages of planning and will begin shooting soon. I joined workshops with other performers. I recognise that acting is a creative profession, yet there is a systematic approach to it. Each performer interprets their role, which can lead to different outcomes. I’m also excited when I look back and realise how far I’ve come. There are so many techniques involved, and most of them delve deeply into psychological principles. I never imagined it would reach this level. It’s truly a deep learning experience, and it turns out I might like acting more than I originally thought.”

He has a deep passion for acting and greatly admires the performers he watches in television shows. Eventually, he dreams of using his acting skills in a variety of ways in the future. "There are numerous actors out there, but one that I enjoy is Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad. He played a chemistry teacher who is in the final stages of cancer, and he tries to find money to support his wife and child. To do this, he turns to selling drugs. The story has a dramatic twist, showcasing his range as an actor, from being a good person to becoming a bad one. I think his balance is excellent; he doesn’t overact but still conveys deep emotion with subtle changes, like a shift in his gaze or a furrowed brow. His performance is incredibly emotive.

As for my acting right now, I’m in the workshop phase. As a newcomer, I have to be focused every time.  I've experienced trouble hearing the other actor's lines. I can understand their delivery and respond appropriately, but I feel as though I have lost my character, There is always dread and tension. Therefore, I need to be mindful while performing. To give the best performance.”

Given that he is the son of Duu Sanya Kunakorn, it's no surprise that many people have high expectations for Aimm's work. Although he is a newcomer to acting, he strives to deliver his best in every role he takes on. "I appreciate everyone's interest in me, even though I haven't yet produced any work. It's another motivating factor that drives me to do my best. Aside from performing, I have tried modelling, which I enjoy. I want to try everything since I don’t have much experience in acting. I try not to reject anything as I want to explore all possibilities and then decide what suits me best or what I’m good at. If I’m genuinely interested, then I’ll focus on it. In the entertainment industry, my father always teaches me to stay true to myself. Most of his advice is about how to conduct myself rather than specific concerns. He might be a bit protective, but not excessively so. He gives me a lot of freedom because he trusts that he’s prepared me well."

#legend_th in the perspective of Aimm has to be the one who influences others in various aspects of life. “The first person who comes to mind is Bruce Lee, who established a legacy that lasted beyond his lifetime. His influence extended beyond the performing arts to society as a whole."

 He may have a captivating smile, but his personality sets him apart from the typical figures in the entertainment industry. "I'm not the one to explain myself publicly. If I can make a choice, I don't want to talk about myself. But, if I must clarify, I am an introvert who enjoys being alone." If he had chosen a different career path, in the future people might have easily recognised him as a charming and talented veterinarian. But after we all see Aimm's modeling skills today, rest assured that the entertainment industry will continue to offer him many opportunities ahead.
