Who is Fourth Nattawat Jirochtikul?

A Law student as well
Despite his success in entertainment, Fourth is serious about education. He gained admission to Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Law and is focusing on Business and Technology Law - perfectly aligning with his real-life experience managing brand partnerships and IP.
Launching Nu Mo Ne
In 2023, Fourth added "fashion entrepreneur" to his resume with the launch of Nu Mo Ne, a clothing brand that blends cozy loungewear with bold, playful Thai aesthetics. His latest line, Fate & Destiny, is filled with zodiac signs, lucky charms, and a healthy dose of fan-service flair.

WWE legend John Cena joins 'Attack on Bangtan' trend—The ultimate ARMY flex
John Cena, known worldwide for his powerhouse WWE career and booming Hollywood presence, has a softer side that's become just as iconic: his public love for BTS. On June 25, Cena showed his love for the group once more on Instagram. In the post on The Late Show's official page, he joined a TikTok trend and sang along to BTS's Attack On Bangtan song. The video quickly reminded the world that he was still a huge fan and part of the ARMY. Over the years, Cena hasn't just name-dropped the seven-member K-pop sensation for show. He's repeatedly credited the band and their fans, the BTS ARMY, with inspiring him during a time of personal uncertainty. Speaking with a mix of sincerity and enthusiasm, Cena has openly acknowledged how BTS's music and message shifted his mindset, as well as how he found comfort in the unlikeliest of places. Cena's 'moment of weakness' and bodyguard offer During various interviews, Cena has described how BTS helped him embrace vulnerability and self-worth. In an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he explained that it was BTS's 2018 album Love Yourself: Answer that pushed him to express messages of self-acceptance online. This was something he hesitated to do, fearing how it would be received from a 'larger-than-life' WWE figure. He stated: 'I really gotta thank K-Pop, gotta thank BTS for supporting me in a moment of weakness, and turning it into a passion of mine.' That admission set off a wave of support, revealing a side of Cena fans rarely see: the man behind the 'Never Give Up' slogan struggling with self-worth. Cena's books and their Army-based inspiration Cena said the BTS ARMY's support made a profound difference. 'These books exist because the BTS Army was brave enough to support my vulnerable moment,' he said to Ellen, referring to the motivational titles he later published. Both Be a Work in Progress and Do Your Best Every Day drew inspiration from the themes BTS advocated. His love for the group has been strong for a long time, even having once quipped on X (formerly Twitter), 'I've had a little trouble keeping up lately but does @BTS_twt @bts_bighit need a bodyguard? Crazy because I've been touring with them for years, they just can't see me.' He later referenced the tweet in a 2020 episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, "I tried out to be their bodyguard and I didn't even make it." John Cena: 'J-Hope Is My Guy' at fan expo Cena's love for BTS is also quite specific. He has repeatedly declared his admiration for the group's rappers, especially RM and J-Hope. At the 2025 Fan Expo Dallas, Cena stated during a fan Q&A, ' J-Hope is my guy.' He added that BTS 'found me at the right time in my life.' He admitted he was not a general K-pop fan but connects with BTS and their music personally, 'I don't necessarily like K-Pop. I gravitate towards BTS.' While he hasn't attended a concert, he emphasized that it's the group's message—not the fanfare—that resonates most with him. He also detailed why BTS in particular resonated with him, praising their blend of flawless choreography and open emotion: 'They reached a 48-year-old dude who was struggling with self-worth,' he said. That candid admission reminded ARMY that BTS's message of self-love can cross any divide.

K-drama star Chae Soobin × Bollywood's Siddhant Chaturvedi? Yup, that just happened — and the full #SidSoo Crocs film is finally here
When Crocs dropped a 30-second teaser starring K-Drama sweetheart Chae Soobin and Bollywood's very own Siddhant Chaturvedi, fans collectively lost the plot. The chemistry? Electric. The rain? Endless. The vibe? Soft, slow, and seriously romantic. Edits, fancams, and 'what is this crossover and why am I obsessed?' tweets flooded timelines. Now, after days of non-stop 'WE NEED THE FULL VERSION,' Crocs India has finally dropped the complete film — and #SidSoo is once again sending the internet into full monsoon meltdown. Set in a cinematic world where the monsoon is both backdrop and character, this film brings together the best of two storytelling powerhouses — the emotional depth of K Dramas and the dramatic flair of Bollywood — for a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers tale that feels straight out of your rain-soaked daydreams. Siddhant plays the brooding, buttoned-up tycoon who thinks he's in control — until Soobin's free-spirited, heart-on-her-sleeve energy quite literally storms into his life. The glances are stolen. The umbrellas are shared. And the rain? Always perfectly timed. But it's not just the story that's catching everyone's eye — it's the fashion-forward styling and emotional footwear game. Soobin wears the Classic Platform Clog in White, adorned with delicate pink floral Jibbitz and charms that spell out 'I Rain' — serving cherry blossom in the monsoon realness. Her look is soft, playful, and totally in tune with the poetic rainscape she lives in. Siddhant, meanwhile, keeps it classic in the Black Classic Clog, styled with eccentric metallic Jibbitz™ — edgy, unexpected, and totally in sync with his character's cold-on-the-outside, melting-on-the-inside energy. And then comes the moment — Soobin gifting him a Korean heart Jibbitz. No dialogue. No big declarations. Just quiet emotion… and a charm that says everything. The response? A full-blown monsoon of emotions. Fans are calling it 'the crossover of the decade', and the #SidSoo ship name has officially taken over the internet. From rainy-day edits to dream-casting spin-offs, the fandom is locked in. Bottom line: Crocs didn't just serve a campaign — they gave us a whole rainy season feeling. Innocent, cinematic, and full of heart, this film is everything we love about love — with better footwear. #SidSoo stans, this is your season.
