Blue Phongthiwat has become another hot new face capturing attention, particularly after his stage performance at OLYMPOP2 went viral, earning him the nickname 'handsome god's favorite' from fans. The young artist recently spoke at the HONOR 600 Series flagship smartphone launch at Emspherium shopping mall, expressing embarrassment and gratitude for the fan support. He revealed he is fully committed to his music career and preparing to release an album under LOVEiS label within this year, while confirming he won't abandon live performances and is eager to tackle deeper, more challenging dramatic roles.

Recalling his OLYMPOP2 experience, Blue expressed how much fun he had, noting it was his first year performing at the event as a professional artist and that he was still new to the T-Pop industry. He appreciated meeting and collaborating with fellow artists like Thad from ATLAS, Phoo Thatchai from BUS, Alex from DICE, and Tul from Domundi. The basketball game during the event was also entertaining, though Blue joked that the makeup artists made him look fairer than usual.

Regarding the attention he receives, Blue admitted feeling shy, saying he often doesn't realize when cameras are capturing him, but he's delighted seeing the support on social media. When asked about future collaborations, he remained optimistic but non-committal, suggesting there may be opportunities ahead.

For his music career, Blue shared that he and LOVEiS are preparing an album project for release this year. He works closely with the label, contributing his own ideas and preferences about song styles and dance elements. He mentioned they're about 20 percent into the process and hopes everyone will enjoy the final product. While he couldn't reveal the genre or confirm any featured artists yet, he assured fans that music releases are definitely coming this year.
