More Than A Dream
MEN'S FOLIO Malaysia|May 2024
What does liberation feel like? Does it come from the freedom to transcend one's environment, where space no longer confines function but serves as a vacuum for imagination?
Manfred Lu
More Than A Dream

Or is it the chance to break free from the banality of the everyday? Liberation may exist in these ideals - sometimes paradoxical, sometimes forming a duality that challenges the ways of rules. Like ZEGNA Oasi Lino's journey where the world's most exquisite flax fibres are sourced from Normandy, liberation encourages expression in the truest form and with optimised results. Regardless of being amongst wilderness, or in the plainest of slates, liberation is not about being in a place, but having the right state of mind - and the comfort to do so.

For "Fourth" Nattawat Jirochtikul and "Gemini" Norawit Titicharoenrak, that lightness began when the pairing took on their roles for the acclaimed series My School President. Since then, they have emerged as standout stars together, moving faster in their careers than one could ever imagine. With the path set ahead for them and now settling into their new lives, the duo have embarked on their next feat - an inaugural fashion week attendance with the ZEGNA Fall/Winter '24 show in Milan with Men's Folio.

"FOURTH" NATTAWAT JIROCHTIKUL

HI FOURTH! WE ARE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON OUR COVER AGAIN. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN SINCE THE LAST TIME WE DID A PHOTOSHOOT WITH YOU?

A lot has happened, for sure. I was filming a new series, as well as working on a new song. 

WHEN WE INTERVIEWED YOU LAST YEAR, YOU WERE NOT SO SURE ABOUT YOUR CONFIDENCE IN ACTING. NOW — A YEAR LATER — WOULD YOU SAY THAT HAS CHANGED? 

Since the days of My School President, I’ve taken on more roles and cultivated new experiences. I would like to think — or hope — that I’m definitely more confident now.
