Netizens Get Their Wish as “Fei” Joins “4 Kings II” — Look and Style Are a Perfect Match for “K Kanok”

He's the actor that netizens have been pointing to, insisting that this character and this look were an absolutely perfect match for the big-budget film “4 Kings II” from Neramitnung Film together with Shinesaeng Ad.Venture. So this time, director Phut–Phutthiphong Nakthong has treated fans by bringing in the cheeky-looking actor Fei–Phat Eksaengkul to be one of the film's eight leads.

Fei said, “When Phut invited me to be in the film, I wasn't surprised, because I already used to hang out with the 4 Kings gang. The team had hinted before that if there was going to be a 4 Kings II, we'd talk — because there were netizens who wanted to see me in this film. I play 'K Kanok,' a hot-headed guy with a lot of energy. He doesn't feel the need for revenge, but he loves confrontation — he likes violence, gets an adrenaline rush from it, and doesn't feel like he has any responsibilities weighing him down that he needs to worry about. He's not afraid of going to jail, because his parents will bail him out — he can solve everything with violence. But it's not mindless fighting; he actually plans out how he's going to strike. He represents an ordinary, laid-back teenager who just wants to be with his friends and enjoy each day — not evil, not good, just 'you hit me, I hit you back,' that kind of thing.”

“Playing K Kanok isn't actually that hard, because I used to be a bit of a troublemaker myself back in the day — just not to the extent that K is. Like, if this kind of thing happened to me personally, I'd only feel this much about it, but if it happened to K, he'd feel way more than that. For example, if the coffee doesn't taste good, I'd just be like, fine, get another cup — but if it's K, it'd be more like, “Hey! Why does this coffee taste bad?!” — something like that. K finds it a lot harder to reason things through.

So being K isn't hard, it just takes a lot of energy. As for what makes this film's script interesting — it's not just a story about kids fighting, lashing out at every little thing. The story has a strong narrative backbone, touching on friendship, family, and various relationships. At first, I worried that if it focused too much on kids fighting, it might create the impression that fighting is a good thing. But in the end, the film shows that when you do these things, you have to pay a price for it — it's not saying you shouldn't fight, but the outcome depends on the choices you make. You might lose friends, lose family, even lose your future,” said Fei–Phat.Get ready for the ultimate cheekiness of “K Kanok,” brought to life by “Fei–Phat,” today at 19:00 viawww.youtube.com/watch?v=7IWxsMK_rDMAlso catch “ 4 Kings II” on 30 November, together in cinemas.
