The JoongDunk pairing began in 2022, when GMMTV cast Joong Archen Aydin and Dunk Natachai Boonprasert as the leads of Star in My Mind, part of the studio’s “Star and Sky” double-drama season. Joong played Khabkluen, a university student reunited with his former high-school junior Daonuea, played by Dunk; the two also appeared in supporting roles as the same characters in the companion series Sky in Your Heart, which aired the same year. Both actors had signed to GMMTV separately in 2021, Dunk in January and Joong in September, before being paired together for the production.

Following the drama’s strong reception, GMMTV continued to pair the two, casting them as leads in Our Skyy 2 and Hidden Agenda in 2023, then in the crime-romance series The Heart Killers across 2024 and 2025. They followed that with the mystery-thriller Dare You to Death, which premiered in December 2025, and are set to reunite in the upcoming How to Survive My CEO, announced by GMMTV for 2026. Alongside their scripted work, Joong and Dunk have recorded a series of joint OST duets for GMMTV Records and released the standalone single “Eyes On You” as JoongDunk in March 2026.

<p>JoongDunk's chemistry has carried across genres rather than one register. In <em>Star in My Mind</em> and <em>Sky in Your Heart</em>, Joong and Dunk played the same characters, Khabkluen and Daonuea, building a slow-burn campus romance around a one-centimeter height difference, Joong at 186 cm and Dunk at 185 cm, that fans reference at joint fan meetings. In <em>The Heart Killers</em>, the pair shifted into an action-comedy dynamic, with Joong's overprotective assassin Fadel clashing with Dunk's cheeky mechanic Style, while <em>Dare You to Death</em> recast them as an investigative duo trading procedural banter instead of romance. Their consistency across romance, comedy, and mystery has been reinforced by a string of joint OST duets recorded together for nearly every production since 2022.</p>
