Nat Thewphaingam (Template:Lang-th, RTGS: Nat Thio-phai-ngam; 5 June 1989), better known by his stage name Natthew (Template:Lang-th, Korean: 나튜), is a Thai singer, actor, model, presenter and the winner of the 5th Season of reality talent show TrueVisions' Academy Fantasia in Thailand.
Biography
Nat Thewphaigam (stage name Natthew), was born on 5 June 1989, the second child of three siblings. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in management from the Faculty of Business Administration, Kasetsart University. His hobbies include playing the saxophone, drawing Cartoons, collecting and building Gundam robots. His motto is to follow and pursue his dreams with determination to achieve his goals. Natthew was the winner of Thailand's Academy Fantasia Show Season 5 in 2008. He acted on the BBTV Channel 7 during 2009 – 2014. Presently, he is the only the artist part of True Fantasia Group and CJ E&M.
Because Natthew's idol is Nichkhun from 2 PM, he was inspired to compete at the international level, especially in South Korea, to show that there are artists in Thailand just as talented as Nichkhun. CJ Entertainment, (a subsidiary of CJ Group in South Korea), hired Natthew as singer and artist in the joint Korean-Thai "New Natthew Project".[1]
Natthew is also involved in a number of charity works, most notably singing for the Japan Charity Live Concert,[2] South Charity Live Concert, and Clean Up Day Together We Can BIG CLEAN UP DAY TOGETHER WE CAN.[3]
Debut in Korea
Natthew, the winner of Thailand's Academy Fantasia, an audition program similar to Mnet's Superstar K, traveled to Korea as part of the Korean-Thai joint project, "New Natthew Project". Through the joint venture by CJ E&M and Thailand's CP Group, the singer was assisted by a full staff to not only make his Korean debut but with the aim for him to become a global star. In Korea, Natthew would undergo a rigorous K-Pop style training regimen to take his image beyond a ballad singer to a global star.
Natthew said about his new ventures, "I′m aiming to be recognized by Korean fans as an artist instead of remaining a foreign singer who has thought to visit Korea. I hope to become an artist that helps the exchange of culture between Thailand and Korea."
Natthew created a fan club which he dubbed "Universe," because he sees his fans like the stars that are always in the sky, even when invisible during the daytime. When Natthew faces difficulties, just as the stars are always present, his fans are always there to look to for encouragement.
New Natthew Project
Through the "New Natthew Project", Natthew evolved into a bigger star in Korea. Natthew's first Korean MV single "She's Bad" and stage debut on M! Countdown premiered on 15 November 2012. "She's Bad" is a stylish and powerful electronic piece; the song was composed by C-Luv, who composed K-pop star Rain's "Love Song". Featured in the music video for "She's Bad" are Yong Jun-hyung from Beast, and Brave Girls' Seo-a. Natthew's logo was designed by South Korean actress Jaekyung from the girl group Rainbow.[4] Natthew also performed in the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) in Hong Kong on 30 November 2012.
In April 2013, Natthew released "오 제발 (Oh Please)",[5] a single from "Nine: Time Travelling Nine Times (나인: 아홉 번의 시간 여행) Part 3", a Korean drama that broadcast on the TVN network 11 March – 14 May 2013. It's a fantasy melodrama about a TV anchorman, Park Sun Woo (Lee Jin Wook) who is in love with new reporter Joo Min Young (Jo Yoon Hee) and is given nine chances to travel back in time to solve a crime that happened 20 years ago.[6]
Projects in 2014
Since 9 June 2014, Natthew has worked in South Korea as a CJ E&M artist. He lives in South Korea where he works hard in dance and vocal training classes plus gains musical experience in his spare time with his Korean friends. From his rigorous training in vocal and dance classes, he was given the opportunity to be guest singer in the song "All of Me" during a July 2014 mini-concert by Korean bands Black Muso and Nine gray at Evans Lounge in Hongdae.
On 12 November, he pre-released a cover of Roy Kim's "Don't Know How". On 13 November, Natthew released a new title song entitled "Love will be OK (할게)" that featured Son Ho Young of G.o.d. and Park Boram. His new single was released with a show performance on the comeback stage at Mnet M! Countdown. He performed in several media outlets including The Show (SBS MTV), Show Champion (MBC), Music Bank (KBS) and Simply K-Pop (Arirang TV). On Natthew's comeback event, he received support from two veteran Korean performers, Son Ho Young and Roy Kim, plus from his friends in Korea and Thailand, especially his fan group "Universe".
Natthew is featured in the single "The Only One" by South Korean girl group Tiny-G, released by Rerun Music on 25 November 2012. Because the song was created by Tiny-G's Thai members Mint and J. Min, it seemed only natural that the duo team up with Bangkok-born singer Natthew.
Korean series
Natthew appeared in the Korean hit music drama TV series Monstar, which depicts the lives of troubled teens who are healed through the power of music. Character Yoon Sul-Chan (Yong Joon-Hyung) is the vocalist for the group "Man in Black" who carries deep psychological wounds but doesn't express his feelings. Because of his hot temper, he causes trouble; his management company then orders him to become an ideal student and he joins a music band at school while facing unexpected events.
Natthew appears in Monstar episodes 4, 7, and 8 as the 21-year-old Nawin Thammarat. Described as musically and athletically talented, Natthew's character ends up meeting Kang Ha Neul's character while busking on the streets of Hongdae. While Nawin Thammarat does not attend Bukchon High School with the rest of the characters, his path quickly intertwines with the other Monstar characters as Nawin slowly reveals his reason for coming to Seoul.[7]
