NEXT SCENE:intermission

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT OUR LIVES are mapped out before we are born? There is no way to corroborate the speculation, but it is an interesting perspective to ponder. From a secular point of view, your destiny lies in your hands and can be moulded by your choices. Conversely, to many, life is predestined and governed by fate. TV and social media sensation Krissanapoom Pibulsonggram sits on the fence.

While he was blessed with serendipitous encounters that worked in his favour, like getting approached for his first acting role while modelling for an event more than a decade ago, the 27-year-old still had to work his fingers to the bone. His achievements are a testament to his hard work. While fate could have played some part in his accomplishments, his tenacious disposition should also take some credit.

Today, Pibulsonggram, nicknamed JJ but also known by his stage name Jaylerr, has starred in a myriad of TV series and films and released music. He even launched his first entertainment agency, QOW Entertainment, co-founded by his girlfriend – all thanks to his ability to take the reins of his life. Curious, we talked to the Thai heartthrob on his endeavours and where his passion truly lies.

What’s the difference between Jaylerr and JJ? And which do you prefer?
