In a dramatic turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the Thai entertainment industry, IDOLFACTORY Co., Ltd. has officially confirmed a complete restructuring of its executive and artist lineup—centered around the resignation of Mr. Suppapong “Saint” Udomkaewkanjana from every major position he held within the company.
While corporate transitions happen often, the scale, speed, and tone of these announcements have turned this case into one of the most talked-about entertainment shake-ups of the year. And to add an unexpected twist—rumors are swirling that Saint has been spotted entering the GMMTV building. Could a new chapter be forming?
Let’s break down everything.
IDOLFACTORY announced that Saint has formally resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer and has returned all company shares he previously held.
The company states that the process is fully completed and final.
Following his departure, all executive control—including strategic decisions, governance, and operational oversight—now falls exclusively under Mr. Kachen Sodpho, who assumes full leadership of the company as CEO.
IDOLFACTORY emphasized its commitment to:
- Corporate governance
- Transparency
- Operational efficiency
The company is also moving forward with required legal filings regarding the change in executive structure with Thailand’s Department of Business Development.
In a separate announcement signed by Saint himself, he confirms that his contract as an artist and actor with IDOLFACTORY has been officially terminated, effective 13 November 2025.
Saint states that:
- All coordination for previous work assignments may now be conducted directly with him, until he appoints a manager or representative.
- The announcement serves as formal notification to ensure clarity for industry partners and fans.
This marks a clean and complete separation between Saint and the company—not only as an executive but also as talent.
A third announcement shows Saint stepping down from his position as Director of IDOL FACTORY Co., Ltd. and HONEYCOMB 9999999 CO., LTD.
Key points from his statement:
- His resignation is effective 13 November 2025.
- The decision does not affect management, governance, or strategic direction of either company.
- Mr. Kachen Sodpho continues to oversee all executive, managerial, and strategic processes.
- Saint cites increasing professional obligations that prevent him from contributing meaningfully to board duties.
- He mentions that limited availability could lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations, so stepping down was necessary to avoid confusion.
With these three announcements, Saint has officially severed all business, executive, artistic, and directorial ties with IDOLFACTORY.
The coordinated release of three official documents within such a short span naturally raises questions.
Why did all resignations finalize on the same date?
Why publish three separate announcements instead of a joint statement?
Is this simply a strategic reset—or part of something bigger?
Fans and industry watchers are buzzing with speculation.
Adding even more fuel to the speculation, buzz escalated rapidly today after a video surfaced showing Saint entering the GMMTV building. While neither Saint nor GMMTV has issued any statement, the footage has instantly intensified industry chatter.
No official confirmation has been released—but the evidence alone has ignited a wave of discussion online.
If true, this could signal a major shift for Saint, especially following his complete departure from IDOLFACTORY and the return of all his shares. Fans and insiders are now questioning what comes next:
A possible acting contract with GMMTV?
A new management partnership?
Or could Saint be preparing to launch a new company of his own?
For now, nothing is confirmed. But with the timing aligning just days after his resignation from every executive and artistic position at IDOLFACTORY, the entertainment industry is watching the situation extremely closely.
This triple-announcement exit marks one of the most significant corporate and artistic transitions in recent BL industry history. Whether it signals a new creative direction, a personal reset, or a major upcoming partnership, one thing is clear:
Saint’s next move is going to be big — and all eyes are on GMMTV.
