EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW | Magic Move Stars Tan Pitchawat, Sprite Patpong & Focus Yanin on Acting, Inspiration and Their Global Journey
Thailand's next generation of screen talent is stepping confidently onto the international stage.
Following the growing success of Magic Move, actors Tan Pitchawat, Sprite Patpong, and Focus Yanin have quickly captured the attention of audiences across Asia. Produced by Moonlight Glow, the series has introduced viewers to three charismatic performers whose authenticity, dedication, and natural chemistry continue to resonate with fans both at home and abroad.

Fresh from promotional activities in Japan, the trio joins OTS Magazine UK in collaboration with INSTYLEASIA for an exclusive conversation about life beyond the camera. From their favorite memories of Osaka to the discipline required to succeed as professional actors, they reflect on the lessons that have shaped them, the artists who inspire their ambitions, and the message they hope international audiences take away from Magic Move.
As Thai entertainment continues to gain worldwide recognition, Tan, Sprite, and Focus represent a new generation of artists embracing global opportunities while remaining grounded in gratitude, perseverance, and genuine passion for their craft.
Osaka Through Their Eyes
During their recent visit to Japan, each actor experienced Osaka differently, but all three were captivated by the city's welcoming atmosphere and unforgettable hospitality.
Tan Pitchawat
"What stood out to me most was the kindness of the people. Everyone was incredibly warm and welcoming. I also fell in love with the food—especially the fresh sashimi and squid, which were absolutely delicious. Even on sunny days, the weather felt comfortable thanks to the cool breeze, making the city a wonderful place to explore."
Sprite Patpong
"I really enjoyed Osaka's atmosphere. The mornings were cool and refreshing, making it such a pleasant place to spend time. The city itself feels very comfortable and easy to live in, with so many beautiful places to visit. Most importantly, meeting our fans there made the experience even more meaningful."
Focus Yanin
"I have to mention the desserts, especially the matcha ice cream! It was so good that I found myself eating it almost every day. Beyond the food, I loved the city's overall atmosphere. Everything felt vibrant yet relaxing at the same time. Above all, I was touched by the kindness of the people and the incredible support we received from our fans."
The Discipline Behind the Spotlight
While audiences often see the glamour of acting, the trio explains that success on screen is built upon preparation, discipline, and constant self-improvement.
Tan Pitchawat
"One of the biggest challenges is maintaining complete focus throughout filming. Every scene requires careful preparation, and understanding the script is essential to bringing a character to life in an authentic way. At the same time, actors often work long hours, so taking care of yourself and getting enough rest whenever possible is equally important."
Sprite Patpong
"There's pressure every single day, but I choose to see it as something positive. Every challenge becomes an opportunity to grow, improve, and become a better version of myself. That mindset helps me continue moving forward."
Focus Yanin
"I believe discipline is one of the most important qualities an actor can have. We need to manage our relationships with our team, our responsibilities, and our own personal development at the same time. Balancing everything requires commitment, self-control, and effective time management."
A Letter to Their Younger Selves
Looking back on their childhoods, each actor shares the advice they wish they could have given themselves before beginning their journey into entertainment.
Tan Pitchawat
"I would tell my younger self to be brave enough to start earlier. I always knew what I enjoyed doing, but I waited longer than I should have. Looking back now, I realise that taking the first step sooner might have allowed me to grow even faster."
Sprite Patpong
"I'd simply say, 'You've done well.' If your heart tells you something feels right, don't be afraid to pursue it. Don't spend too much time worrying about whether you'll succeed or fail. Sometimes the most important thing is simply having the courage to begin."
Focus Yanin
"I'd remind myself that whenever life feels difficult or exhausting, it's often because you're working towards something meaningful. One day, the very challenges you're facing will become the achievements you're most proud of."
The Artists Who Inspire Their Journey
Behind every performer is someone who inspired them to dream bigger. For Tan, Sprite, and Focus, those influences extend beyond borders.
Tan Pitchawat
"My biggest inspiration is Ten from NCT and WayV. As a fellow Thai artist, seeing someone who trained in South Korea and successfully debuted internationally—including in Japan—is incredibly inspiring. His journey shows that with determination, it's possible to overcome cultural and language barriers."
Sprite Patpong
"I don't really have one specific role model. Instead, I admire K-pop groups as a whole. Watching their performances, professionalism, and dedication motivates me to keep improving my own skills and to always challenge myself."
Focus Yanin
"For me, it's Natty from KISS OF LIFE. I recently listened to her story and was deeply moved by everything she experienced before achieving success. Her journey reminds me that perseverance is just as important as talent and that hard work will eventually be rewarded."
Introducing Magic Move to Global Audiences
Before concluding the interview, the trio shared a special invitation for international viewers discovering the series for the very first time.
Tan Pitchawat
"Together with Sprite and Focus, we're proud to be part of Magic Move. We hope audiences around the world will enjoy watching our story and supporting everyone involved in the series. Magic Move is currently available on iQIYI and through Moonlight Glow's official YouTube channel. We hope you'll join us on this journey."
Whether speaking about resilience, discipline, or the courage to pursue their ambitions, Tan Pitchawat, Sprite Patpong, and Focus Yanin represent a new generation of Thai performers embracing opportunities beyond their borders. Their stories reflect the changing landscape of Asian entertainment, one where authenticity, determination, and cultural exchange continue to shape tomorrow's global stars.
