The JoongDunk pairing was formed when both Joong Archen Aydin and Dunk Natachai Boonprasert were cast as the lead couple in GMMTV’s 2022 Thai BL drama Star in My Mind. The pair plays Khabkluen and Daonuea, two former high-school classmates reunited at university whose romance forms the heart of the series.

Both members had signed to GMMTV separately in 2021: Dunk in January and Joong in September. The two were paired together for Star in My Mind after auditions and chemistry tests, and the series became their joint career-defining debut as a BL acting pair.

Following the success of Star in My Mind, the pair went on to lead multiple GMMTV productions including Hidden Agenda (2023), Our Skyy 2 (2023), The Heart Killers (2024-2025), Dare You to Death (2025), and the horror BL Pocong JD (2025). Their joint fandom is called Dungjang, a combination of their nicknames Joong and Dunk.

Joong and Dunk are widely recognized for their natural on-screen chemistry, with a one-centimeter height difference (Joong 186 cm, Dunk 185 cm), complementary acting styles, and consistent body language that has carried across romance, mystery, action, and horror genres.
