Mandee Work Co., Ltd., the management company behind DOMUNDI, has confirmed that Jimmy Karn Kritsanaphan and Ohm Thanakrit Chiamchunya will no longer continue as an on-screen pairing, marking the end of one of the label’s most recognisable duos. The announcement, released on 3 April 2026 via official social media channels, signals a strategic shift not only for the two actors but also for upcoming projects tied to the pairing.
In its statement, the company made clear the decision was reached mutually, with both parties weighing their individual career directions and future opportunities. The tone was measured and deliberate, emphasising professional understanding rather than any abrupt fallout.
For an industry where fixed pairings often define fan engagement, the wording suggests a calculated move rather than a reactive one.
The immediate impact is already visible. Mandee Work confirmed that the upcoming “Magic Lover Series” will undergo a cast adjustment, with replacements expected to be announced shortly.
While details remain under wraps, the change inevitably reshapes audience expectations, particularly given how closely the project had been associated with the JimmyOhm pairing.
Industry observers will be watching closely to see whether the production pivots creatively or simply recasts within an established framework.
For many viewers, Jimmy Karn and Ohm Thanakrit became synonymous with their roles in “The Next Prince”, where their on-screen chemistry translated into a strong and loyal fanbase.

Their separation therefore represents more than a routine management update; it marks the end of a commercially viable pairing that had proven its appeal across both domestic and international audiences.
A portion of the fanbase has expressed understanding, echoing the company’s emphasis on individual growth and long-term career planning.
Others, however, have reacted with disappointment, pointing to the abrupt nature of the announcement and the lack of clarity surrounding future projects.
On social platforms, discussions have ranged from speculation about behind-the-scenes decisions to cautious optimism about what new pairings or solo roles might bring.
There is also a broader conversation unfolding about the lifecycle of fixed pairings in Thai series culture. While such partnerships can rapidly build popularity, they also risk limiting creative range.
In that sense, the separation of Jimmy Karn and Ohm Thanakrit may reflect a wider industry trend toward flexibility and reinvention, particularly as actors seek to expand beyond established screen identities.
Mandee Work’s closing remarks focused on gratitude, thanking fans for their continued support and encouraging them to follow both actors as they move forward independently.
It is a familiar note in official statements, yet one that carries weight in a moment where audience loyalty will inevitably be tested..
The coming weeks will be decisive. Casting announcements for “Magic Lover Series” and the next confirmed projects for both actors will shape whether this transition is seen as a risk or a reinvention.
For now, the end of JimmyOhm stands as a reminder that even the most popular screen pairings are ultimately subject to change.
What do you make of this split—strategic move or missed opportunity? And will you still tune in to “Magic Lover Series” after the casting change, or was the original pairing the main draw?
