Orm Kornnaphat Sparks Debate with Her First Controversial Awards Hosting

Young Actress Orm Kornnaphat Splits Opinion After First Time as Award Presenter

Rising actress Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong stepped onto one of the biggest stages of her young career this week, making her debut as an award presenter at the Yentertain Awards 2025. 

What should have been a straightforward hosting moment quickly turned into one of the night’s most talked-about highlights – and not without controversy.

While announcing the winner of a category, Orm Kornnaphat appeared visibly nervous and tried to lighten the mood with a cheeky remark. 

She also shared a playful interaction with fans in the audience, seemingly aiming to break the stiff formalities of the evening.

Her light-heartedness didn’t sit well with everyone, though. Some viewers criticised her for stealing focus from the award recipient, arguing that a stage moment designed to honour winners should remain respectful and solemn. 

On the other side of the debate, many fans rushed to her defence. 

They pointed out that this was Orm Kornnaphat’s first time handling such a role and that her playful energy actually brought a refreshing warmth to the ceremony. 

To them, her natural and slightly awkward behaviour made the event feel more personal rather than overly scripted.

Supporters also stressed that every young performer needs space to learn. 

“She’ll grow into the role and polish her stage presence over time,” one fan commented online, echoing a sentiment that has spread across social media.

Almost immediately after the show ended, clips of Orm’s stage moment began circulating on Twitter, TikTok, and fan forums. 

Comment sections were a battleground between critics demanding stricter professionalism and admirers who found her “cute and genuine.”

What both sides agree on is that the Yentertain Awards gained extra buzz thanks to Orm’s debut.
