| Nanon Korapat and Joong Archen Victims of Defamatory Meme, GMMTV Takes Action |
Things just got real over at GMMTV HQ, as the agency has officially clapped back at a wave of dodgy online content dragging two of their top stars – Nanon Korapat and Joong Archen – into unwanted controversy.
If you've been online lately, you might’ve seen a meme making the rounds claiming the two actors donated $2 million to the LGBTQ+ community, complete with a made-up quote that reads: “I hope they find a cure soon.”

Not only was the image entirely fabricated, but the line’s twisted wording sparked serious backlash, as netizens read it as mocking or dismissive – stirring accusations of homophobia.
Needless to say, it didn’t sit right with fans or the actors themselves.
🛑 GMMTV Steps In: “We Won’t Let This Slide”
 |
On Instagram, GMMTV dropped a firm statement defending Nanon, followed by a similar note for Joong the next day. The company made it clear:
“These false and misleading claims have seriously harmed the artist’s personal and professional reputation. We demand an immediate halt to any further sharing of this content – or we’ll take full legal action.”
GMMTV didn’t mince words, stressing that they will not tolerate any more fake news, online harassment, or attempts to drag their talents into baseless messes. They also confirmed that they’re ready to pursue civil and criminal proceedings if the situation continues.
🧠 Joong Speaks Out Too
Before the agency jumped in, Joong Archen himself had already hinted at taking matters into his own hands. He posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“Should I take legal action, or just let it go?”
Fans quickly rallied behind him, pushing for real consequences and asking the agency not to just talk the talk, but also walk the walk.
🗣️ Fans Want Action, Not Just Words
With two of GMMTV’s brightest stars caught up in this, fans are flooding comment sections demanding that the agency follow through. Many are tired of seeing celebs targeted by fake narratives, and they’re calling on GMMTV to set a proper example by holding the culprits accountable – especially as the original post came from a foreign account with significant reach.
📢 Official GMMTV Statement on Nanon:
“It has come to our attention that certain individuals from international communities on social media have made false and misleading statements involving Nanon Korapat. These statements distort the truth and misrepresent the artist’s values. This misinformation has misled the public and caused serious damage, subjecting him to unjust criticism and harm.
We hereby demand an immediate stop to all posting, sharing, or dissemination of such content. If this behaviour continues, we will pursue the strongest legal measures available – both civil and criminal.”
💬 Tonboriday Take:
In an age where fake info spreads faster than facts, GMMTV’s sharp response is a long-overdue reminder: just because it’s online doesn’t mean it’s fair game. Protecting artists from slander, especially when it involves sensitive misrepresentations, isn’t just a PR move – it’s basic human decency.
Let’s hope the agency follows through and sets a new standard in how these situations are handled. Because at the end of the day, Nanon and Joong deserve better – and so do their fans.
