MGR reported that the actress was visibly emotional while discussing her breakup at a Thursday press conference for her new film. Speaking with a trembling voice, she expressed: "I admit I am very sad."

"Though it’s painful, it is for the best," she continued. "I watched Nine’s press conference, and we have encouraged each other a lot afterward."

She explained that she and Nine Naphat have decided to return to being friends because they were unable to balance their romantic relationship with their careers. Nevertheless, they continue to wish each other well.

The actress extended her gratitude for the substantial support from her friends in the entertainment industry and her fans, requesting time and encouragement to focus on herself.

"We have informed both families, who understand and respect our decision," she added. "At first, my parents were quite anxious about the news since they are not from the entertainment industry. However, they eventually came to understand and continued their support as before."

"I assure you that both families respect their children’s decisions," she affirmed.
