#FangirlGigs: Gulf Kanawut’s first solo fan meeting was a night full of kilig and fangirl delights

Imagine being set up to go on a blind date with someone you barely know—but they have the potential to be great. And then it turns out, the mystery human has all it takes to exceed your expectations. This is what Gulf Kanawut’s first solo fan meeting felt like.

I knew Gulf Kanawut from his TharnType: The Series drama but I had to re-discover him as soon as his solo fan meet in the Philippines was announced. From then on, I realized that he’s a shining star with lots of charm and talent to offer. And his press conference and fan meet on October 2 were proof that I was definitely missing out.

It’s been days since Gulf made a splash in the Philippines but we still can’t get enough of his breathtaking visuals, heart-fluttering smile, and undeniable charm. Allow us to revisit the highlights of his solo fan meet below.

Avid Gulf Kanawut fans—or Phiballs—know that the Thai superstar is a good-looking man. But nothing compares to the shock of seeing him in person in the intimate press conference and fan meet. 

Pictures and videos don’t do Gulf’s visuals justice if we do say so ourselves.

Gulf admitting that he wants to be a “bad boy”

You’ve heard it from Gulf Kanawut himself, folks. The actor himself revealed in the press conference and fan meeting that he wants to be a bad boy in his next acting project.

Since he kept on talking about his desire to be a villain, it looks like Gulf is determined to become a baddie in the future.

There’s no better place to show off your many talents than a fan meet—and Gulf did just that. The Thai superstar set the New Frontier Theater stage on fire with a fiery performance of his song Why You So Serious.

Gulf confessing his love for Sarah Geronimo

Sorry, Phiballs. It seems that Gulf’s Filipina ideal type is none other than Sarah Geronimo. 

Manifesting a Gulf and Sarah G. collab!

Of course, we had to ask #GulfKanawut which Filipino and Thai actor he wants to work with in the future. He revealed, “I want to try working with Sarah Geronimo.” #GulfInManila2022 pic.twitter.com/kiPYJilfHZ

If Gulf has the chance to work with Pinoy actors, he told the media that he would love to work with Sarah. He even had the chance to show off his inner Popster when he was asked to dance along to Tala at the fan meet. 

Say hello to your charming fanboy, Ms. Sarah G!

The New Frontier Theater erupted into cheers as #GulfKanawut danced along to Sarah Geronimo’s hit song ‘Tala’ with host Kring Kim.

With the help of host Kring Kim, he was able to get the steps right in one go. Hopefully, we can witness Gulf and Sarah sharing the screen together in a project soon.
