Thai entertainment stars Tutor Krabanjorn and Yim Parinya Pon have spoken out about an alarming stalking incident that occurred while they were traveling to Guangzhou, China for the "TutorYim Fan sign" event. The pair was followed intensely by fans from the airport through various locations including restaurants and their hotel, marking what they describe as their most serious encounter with overeager admirers.
On May 19, while attending the screening of their series "Chim Chae" at Lido Connect Hall 2, both actors opened up about the harrowing experience. They explained that fans tracked them from dawn until night, following them so closely that they felt unsafe and were unable to leave their hotel room to eat breakfast or visit the gym—activities they normally do while traveling. Yim described being startled by fans getting uncomfortably close, sometimes walking dangerously near them with phones pointed at their faces. Tutor recounted that fans would follow their car and get so close while walking that their feet would bump into each other, nearly causing them to trip.
Both actors emphasized they understand fans' affection but strongly urged them to meet at official scheduled events instead. They expressed concern not only for their personal safety but also for their public image and the safety of other people in public spaces who could be accidentally hit by overeager fans. While acknowledging that their security team attempted to manage the situation, they stressed that this level of stalking directly impacts their quality of life and ability to conduct normal daily activities. Tutor noted that while most fans understand appropriate behavior, a small minority are motivated by wanting to watch their everyday lives—seeing them eat breakfast or go to the gym—which he finds invasive and unsafe.
