Toptap Jarukit Kaewmoonrueang
BIOGRAPHY
Toptap Jarukit Kaewmoonrueang (Thai: ท็อปแท็ป จารุกิจ แก้วมูลเรือง; born October 2, 2003) is a Thai actor and pageant titleholder signed to Aplan International. He is best known for playing Athip “Jay” Wanitsakitphaisan, the managing director of an entertainment agency, opposite Min Thanakorn Wichanukhor in the 2026 Boys’ Love revenge thriller Payback, a lead role and his first screen credit.
Toptap comes from Chiang Mai and studied at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna, the northern technical university based in the city. In 2022 he was named Mister Looker Thailand 2022, and he later signed with Aplan International, the Thai company that also sits among the co-production partners on Payback.
Before Payback his performance experience was on stage rather than on camera, including the theatre project The House of Mirrors. He went from the pageant stage and theatre directly into a ten-episode lead in a series adapted from a Korean webtoon.
In Payback he plays Jay across all ten episodes. The character is the company’s managing director, kept off its public org chart, and his attention to Sun, the debt-collector-turned-deliveryman trying to reach his ex-boyfriend, turns out to be neither professional nor accidental. Toptap also appears as a regular member of the companion programme Payback Behind the Scenes.
He is a Libra, born in the year of the Goat. He posts under the handle toptap.cnx on both Instagram and TikTok, and uses JARUKiTzX96 on X.
A pageant title and a theatre project made up Toptap’s résumé before he opened a ten-episode series.
Payback began as a Korean web novel by samK in 2010, listed as Payback (Novel). A webtoon drawn by Fujoking followed from June 2021, listed as Payback (Manhwa). The Thai series premiered on May 30, 2026 and its tenth episode aired on August 1, 2026 on ONE 31.
His pairing with Min is known by the ship name ToptapMinlee, with Toptap’s name first and Min’s fuller nickname Minlee second. It is a fan and press label, not a name registered by the production.
