Renowned filmmaker Uncle Adirek directed the 1988 blockbuster movie, Chalui (Getting Through). Despite having a similar title, the director’s latest film, Chalui Tae Khob Fah (Lost in Seoul), isn’t related to the earlier film.
In Lost in Seoul, Tong, played by 25-year-old VJ Nachat Juntapun (Nicky), and Pong, played by 21-year-old singer Mek Mekwattana (Jesse), are two buddies who want to be professional singers. They have trouble achieving their goals since they can’t even afford their rent. They also both have a crush on Tukta (Baitoei Zuvapit), who is dating an Academy Fantasia singer named Sunshine (Por Unnop). Tong and Pong then decide to pursue their music career in Seoul, where they hope to be successful like Thai singer Nichkhun Horvejkul.
Student Weekly recently met up with Nicky and Jesse at the Transformation Films office to ask them about their acting experiences and Lost in Seoul.
