Ship Breaks in OhmFluke
Ohm Thitiwat and Fluke Natouch maintained a close friendship, but they officially ended their on-screen partnership in 2023 and began pursuing separate acting projects.
The popular Thai BL duo parted ways after completing their time with Studio Wabi Sabi. By mid-2023, fans noticed that the pair had stopped making regular joint appearances.
As a lead pairing, Ohm Thitiwat and Fluke Natouch won over fans with their sweet chemistry. Audiences widely praised their dynamic, and the duo starred in recurring projects such as Close Friend and Close Friend S2. Their popularity continued to grow as they appeared in projects including Oh! My Sunshine Night, Between Us, and 609 Bedtime Story. However, the partnership ended in 2023 when both actors chose to follow separate career paths.
After the split, Ohm starred opposite Guide Kantapon in a 2023 miniseries. More recently, GMMTV recruited him, and he now stars alongside Fluke Jeeratch in the romantic comedy My Romance Scammer.
WinnySatang
GMMTV officially announced that Thai actors Winny Thanawin and Satang Kittiphop have mutually ended their work as a fixed pair. The separation was a mutual decision so they can focus on their individual career paths and personal goals, though it came as a major surprise to many fans. Released on March 2, 2026, the statement confirmed that the two would no longer be promoted as a duo. Their upcoming lead series My Professional Boyfriend, which had a pilot trailer, was canceled and its trailer was removed from the official GMMTV YouTube channel.
Additionally, their prior projects together included My School President, We Are, and That Summer. Despite the end of the romantic pairing, they were still scheduled to appear together at previously booked engagements, such as their L’Oreal event. The announcement blindsided the BL (Boys’ Love) community, as many fans were eagerly awaiting their new series. Fans are currently uncertain about the future of their official couple mascot, “Samuru,” as this is the first major fixed pair to separate after receiving a full-blown mascot.

In Only Friends: Dream On, Aou Thanaboon and Boom Tharatorn took over the characters. In MU-TE-LUV: 9 Temples, Surf Patchara and Java Bhobdhama assumed the roles originally assigned to Ohm and Leng.
The breakup attracted significant public attention. Many fans and community observers reported that Leng faced intense online criticism and cyberbullying from sections of the fandom who preferred Ohm’s previous on-screen pairings and resisted the new partnership.
Both actors have since moved forward with their careers. Ohm has taken on several new projects, while Leng has pursued new opportunities and individual endeavors.
