Net Siraphop Manithikhun

Net Siraphop Manithikhun (Thai: เน็ต สิรภพ มานิธิคุณ; born July 8, 1997) is a Thai actor, singer, and model signed to Domundi TV, whose artist roster he joined in 2020. He is best known internationally for his lead role as King in the 2023 Boys’ Love drama Bed Friend, and since 2024 he has formed the NetJJ on-screen pairing with JJ Radchapon Phornpinit, the couple at the centre of Domundi’s 2026 historical time-travel series Love Upon a Time. Before NetJJ he was one half of NetJames alongside James Supamongkon Wongwisut, a partnership that ran from 2022 to 2024.

Net was born in Bangkok on July 8, 1997, the middle of three brothers. He completed his secondary schooling at Assumption College in Bangkok before continuing his studies in the United Kingdom, and earned a bachelor’s degree in international business from Coventry University’s London campus. That training shows up well outside his screen work: he owns the Bangkok restaurant Aunglo by Yangrak and the clothing label LoveNN, and his family runs a food business of its own.

His screen career began early and entirely outside the BL genre. In 2013, at sixteen, he appeared as Net in the comedy-horror Make Me Shudder, returning for Make Me Shudder 2: Shudder Me Mae Nak (2014) and Make Me Shudder 3 (2015), and playing Paeng in Dangerous Boys (2014). Domundi TV introduced him to its artist roster in late 2020, and his first work under the agency came through the company’s variety and reality output, Sound Check and DMD Reality in 2021, before a two-episode arc as Top in Y-Destiny (2021) moved him into series acting.

His breakthrough arrived with Bed Friend (2023), where his performance as King opposite James made him a recognised BL lead across Southeast Asia. He followed it with The Middleman’s Love (2023), the travel format Y Journey: Stay Like a Local (2023), Catch Me Baby (2022) as Captain, and a return to film as Paeng in Dangerous Boys 2 (2024), a decade after the original. From 2025 he worked steadily alongside JJ Radchapon: Black Valentine (2025) as Bomb, The Next Prince (2025) as Calvin, Khemjira (2025) as Kachen, Zomvivor (2025) as Earth, and the lead role of Tinnaphop “Phop” in Love Upon a Time (2026).

Net’s music output is tied to his dramas rather than a solo discography: “Feel Fan” with James for the Bed Friend soundtrack (2023), “Only One Word” for The Middleman’s Love (2024), and a duet with JJ Radchapon on the Love Upon a Time soundtrack (2026). He stands 176 cm (5’9″), weighs 63 kg (139 lbs) and has blood type O. He speaks Thai natively and is fluent in English after completing his degree in London. His 2022 Howe New Generation Award marked the point at which the industry began casting him as a lead rather than a supporting player.
