On September 20, 2024, K-pop and Thai drama fans were thrilled to witness the unexpected crossover between Gulf Kanawut Traipipattanapong and BTS’ Jin. For fans of both artists, it felt like two worlds were colliding.

Gulf, a popular Thai actor and model, shared his excitement about meeting the global superstar.

“P'Jin is really cute. I had a chance to chat with him a little bit. Since he’s very famous, it was a bit hard to get close to him. But I did get the opportunity to talk to him a little. He’s really cute. I said good to see you and I even snuck in a 'love you so much,'” Gulf shared.

Though their conversation was brief, Gulf made the most of it by expressing his admiration for the K-pop idol, who responded with an acknowledging laugh and "thank you." Clips of this interaction circulated online, further fueling the excitement among fans.

During a subsequent fan signing event of the TRASH TO TRAVEL company, Gulf humorously interacted with fans regarding his encounter with Jin. When asked which hand he shook with the BTS member, he playfully pointed to both his hands. Fans eagerly asked if they could shake it too, to which Gulf teasingly denied, keeping the moment to himself.

The exchange went as follows:

Fan: "Gulf, which hand you holding Jin?"
Gulf: "Both hands"
Fan: "Let me hold it"
Gulf: "No, no"
