Nanon Korapat Kirdpan
BIOGRAPHY
Korapat Kirdpan (Thai: กรภัทร์ เกิดพันธุ์; born 18 December 2000 in Bangkok), known as Nanon, is a Thai actor and singer. He is best known as Pran, the neat and competitive neighbour in Bad Buddy (2021), a role that also put his voice on the series soundtrack.
His list starts in 2016 with Senior Secret Love: My Lil Boy and continues with My Dear Loser in 2017, The Gifted in 2018, Blacklist in 2019 and The Gifted: Graduation in 2020. Bad Buddy followed in 2021, with Ohm Pawat Chittsawangdee as Pat, the rival from the neighbouring family. After it came The Jungle in 2023 and My Precious in 2024. The series ran for twelve episodes on GMM 25 and WeTV, from 29 October 2021 to 21 January 2022, and it is adapted from the novel Behind The Scenes by Afterday and -West-.
Music is part of the same record. He sang two of the Bad Buddy theme songs, Just Friend? and Our Song, and Just Friend? won Best Theme Song at the 27th Asian Television Awards in 2022. The series itself collected a WeTV award for Best of Thai Series, the PCA 2021 prize for Best Thai Drama, the Kazz Awards 2022 prize for Best Couple and the Content Asia Awards 2022 prize for Best LGBTQ+ Programme.
The early part of his list is a run of one credit a year: Senior Secret Love: My Lil Boy in 2016, My Dear Loser in 2017, The Gifted in 2018, Blacklist in 2019 and The Gifted: Graduation in 2020. Bad Buddy in 2021 breaks that pattern by adding a musical credit to the acting one, and the two later titles, The Jungle in 2023 and My Precious in 2024, return to acting only.
Because the recognition is split between acting and music, the page can be read two ways: Pran is the acting credit, and Just Friend? and Our Song are the songs. A viewer who first met him through the songs can watch the series with those two tracks in mind, and a viewer who came for the pairing can read Ohm Pawat Chittsawangdee’s page for the other side of it.

Nanon’s list has eight credits, and the order is the interesting part. Five of them come before Bad Buddy and two after, so the series sits in the second half of the list, at the point where a run of earlier titles turns into the one most viewers of this genre know him for.
The soundtrack detail is the one I would not skip. Most actors are credited only for acting; Nanon is credited for two songs on the same series he stars in, and one of them has an award attached to it. That makes Bad Buddy a rare title where the lead’s singing is part of how the series is remembered.
If you are new to him, I would start with Bad Buddy and listen to Just Friend? alongside it, then go back to The Gifted to see where he started.
