Karn Natcha Opens Up About Playing GL for the First Time After Channel 7 Contract Ends, Takes on FC Role for "Nam Taan-Film"
Actress Karn Natcha joins NORTHSTAR agency for her first GL series after leaving Channel 7, taking on a masculine lead role in "Nam Taan-Film" and adjusting her acting style and appearance for the challenging new character direction.
After her Channel 7 HD contract ended last year, actress Karn Natcha Ratjayangkananth is fully diving into a GL series while officially launching her career with the NORTHSTAR agency. Fans are eager to see how far she can push this new character direction.
On April 24, the actress appeared at the NORTHSTAR FIRST LIGHT LINE UP 2026 press event at CenterPoint Studio, where she discussed the opportunity. "This is my first project with NORTHSTAR, and it marks my official debut with the agency and launch of my new series," she explained.
When asked how she connected with NORTHSTAR, Karn revealed: "It actually goes back to director Bee, someone I've worked with before. He told me he saw the 'me' (masculine energy) in me and asked if I wanted to try casting for a GL series. At first I wasn't sure, but I decided to audition with NORTHSTAR, who was open to casting at that time. I auditioned and got the role."
Regarding her knowledge of GL series, Karn admitted she's a fan of the couple Nam Taan and Film, even attending one of their fan meets. "I liked Nam Taan because she's funny, and I watched their series Pluto, Tales, Stars, Love. I felt they were both incredibly talented actors, so I went to the fan meet."
When asked if she fell for Film as well, she laughed and confirmed: "Yes, I got hooked on both of them."
About the director suggesting she had a "me" (masculine) energy when she prefers "ke" (feminine) energy, Karn joked: "I'm actually a 'ke' person and refused. Yuro is still a 'ke' too!"
Regarding this new role, she expressed that it's challenging and fresh. "Since entering the industry, I've only played heterosexual dramas. Now I have to adjust many things—my look, my acting style. I'm naturally bold, but I still have soft femininity. Once I entered the GL world, I became a tall woman, a bigger presence, especially compared to my co-stars like Pik and Mimi who play smaller characters."
She added that she's had to drop some sweetness from her image and change her wardrobe from skirts to pants. "The story itself is complex and challenging because every character has reasons for their actions. At first I didn't understand why my character did certain things. It's quite intricate, so I've had to study hard and discuss extensively with director Bee and Film to get it right."
