Actor Blue Pongthiwat made a dazzling appearance at the launch event for the series "The Remarried Empress," where he candidly updated his relationship status and addressed the intense fan scrutiny surrounding his connection with superstar Lisa.

Blue explained that he and Lisa are close because they share the same circle of friends. He said he does not feel pressured by the public gaze and remains confident that his heart is completely single, adding with a smile that he is "available." Regarding collaborative projects, he confirmed that only work with TTT exists, and firmly denied rumors that he starred in Lisa's music video.

When asked about his heart's color, Blue quipped, "It's blue, because my fan club is called Bluda." Asked if he is currently seeing someone, he replied, "I'm taken" — meaning he's caught by his fans. On his current happiness, he said he is enjoying life, focusing on work, and preparing new music for fans. He noted that experiences gained abroad or in Thailand are equally valuable.

Pressed on whether someone as handsome as him can really be single, Blue laughed and said, "Really?" before confirming again that he is unattached. He acknowledged seeing the online buzz about his and Lisa's relationship but insisted his personal life is normal; he is currently focused on making music with his label team. He said he lives normally and does not feel stressed when photos of them together surface. "We're close because our friends are the same group," he reiterated, adding that no joint music project with Lisa is in the works and that he was not the person in her music video.
