Noi Busakorn recounts a warm moment meeting Chompoo Araya's family in Japan, where she got to spend time with her niece 'Nong Glen' to her heart's content. She praises Glen as a pint-sized superstar who is remarkably good at keeping secrets — the song 'Kuk Kuk' had not a single spoiler leak, with Glen only mentioning she played drums. Noi reveals she is a genuine fanclub member, helping drive up views and playing the song on loop multiple times a day until it stuck in everyone's head, prompting family members to plead for her to stop. She adds that Glen's career is red-hot, with back-to-back gigs immediately after returning from Japan.

Trip moment meeting Chompoo's family in Japan? "It was really fun. We didn't actually plan it — I was in another city and saw on social media that their family was coming to Japan. So I messaged Aunt Jaeb, who confirmed they were arriving in Tokyo. We happened to be on a train from another city at the same time, so we arranged to meet up."

"It was so much fun. My child said Glen is a natural at being doted on. Pee Khun and Pee Jun acted as her guardians the whole time; she had a blast sitting with them the entire trip. We even ended up traveling back together by coincidence — everything just fell into place."

No spoilers for 'Kuk Kuk' at that point? "Can you believe she's incredibly good at keeping secrets? Zero spoilers. She only told Pee Khun and Pee Jun that she played drums."

She really is a female superstar? "Absolutely, I genuinely accept it — not a single leak. I'm so proud. The views are in the millions now, currently sitting at number one — just look at how proud that makes us. I help boost the views too (laughs). I have to support her. I play it multiple times a day, countless times. The melody is stuck in my head until everyone at home says, 'Mom, stop already.' I'm a Glen fanclub member, and everyone who meets me asks, 'How's your niece? Tell Glen we said hi.' Glen brings joy and entertainment to us adults during our free time. My sisters and I keep asking, 'Have you seen Glen today? What outfit is she wearing?'"

Auntie dotes on her niece constantly? "Honestly we don't meet that often because she has so many jobs. This Japan trip was a rare chance to dote on her. I reached out first when I saw they were in Japan, and Aunt Jaeb replied right away suggesting we meet up."

A female star this hot — you don't see her in Thailand but run into her in Japan? "She's incredibly hot right now. And the moment she got back, boom — she's working every single day. Back from Japan and straight into multiple gigs."
