BOYFRIENDS

BOYFRIENDS was a Thai project group of ten under MBO, described as bringing together established actors, singers and models rather than trainees. The group launched on 29 September 2020 with the studio album Boyfriends.

The members were Kacha, Ritz, Gavin, Great, War, Kao, Talay, Tommy, Gulf and Perth. Talay Sanguandikul, who performs as Lay, holds a profile of his own in this catalogue.

The group ended in December 2020, which makes it one of the shortest lived acts recorded here. Its members were already working separately before it formed and returned to that work afterwards.

BOYFRIENDS was organised as a fixed term project between MBO and GMM Grammy, and its structure was unusually clear: ten performers, five duos, five songs, five music videos. The album arrived on 29 September 2020 through GMM Music, and each pairing was given a single track to carry, which meant the release worked as five short collaborations rather than one group record.

Around the music the project ran Boyfriends Challenge, a ten episode variety series of roughly five minutes per episode that aired from 31 August to 27 October 2020, alongside challenge clips and live broadcasts. Everything led to the BE MY BOYFRIENDS CONCERT on 19 December 2020 at Chaengwattana Hall, organised by The Dream and Destiny, where all ten appeared in solo, duet and ensemble sets before the project closed.
