Now, Build has caught the attention of Ahgases online again, but for the wrong reasons.
Build’s alleged private messages were leaked, exposing his joking about China and insulting GOT7’s Jackson Wang. The messages began circulating months ago but have resurfaced, sparking outrage from Jackson’s fans.
Build Jakapan, Thai actor, insults Jackson Wang with severe insults, please inform TeamWang and not support Build Jakapan@JacksonWGlobal#BuildJakapanApologizeToJACKSONWANG#BuildJakapan #บิวจักรพันธ์ #บิวกลับมาทําไม #บิวทําร้ายร่างกายผู้หญิง pic.twitter.com/uCod73b8fg

According to Thai netizens, Build criticized Jackson’s appearance. He used the slang word “larb.” While this is known as a regional dish of Thailand, it has become a discriminatory insult used to mean “ugly.”
It’s a regional dish of Northeast Thailand. which (not all) Thai people tend to discriminate against people from this region that they’re not good-looking. Saying ‘larb’ was racist to people from Northeast Thailand and insult to Jackson.

A few days ago, Build posted an apology via Twitter. He confessed it was his private messages and expressed regret for his words.
ผมจึงอยากจะบอกทุกคนให้รู้ว่า ตอนนี้ผมไม่ได้เป็นแบบนั้นอีกแล้ว ผมเสียใจ และหลังจากนี้ผมจะระวังการใช้คำพูดและไม่ทำให้คนอื่นเสียความรู้สึกอีก ต่อให้ผมขอโทษกี่ครั้งก็คงทำให้ความรู้สึกที่ดีกลับมาไม่ได้ ผมเข้าใจดี และหลังจากนี้ไม่ว่าอะไรจะเกิดขึ้นอีก ผมขอโทษจากใจตรงนี้ครับ 🙏🏻

About private chat in the past and things that I inappropriately said that hurt other. Till now I’m very sorry and guilty. I would like to apologize to everyone I mentioned and didn’t mention. I apologized to took responsibility for what I did to people I referred to. So I want to let everyone know that I’m not like that anymore. I regret it. And from now on I’ll be careful with my words and I won’t upset other again. No matter how many times I apologize, it wouldn’t be able to bring back the good feeling. I truly understand that. And later whatever will happen, I sincerely apologize here.

Even his former on-screen partner, Bible Wichapas Sumettikul, unfollowed Build on Instagram since the messages were leaked. Bible is known to be a fan of Jackson Wang.

It seems like the era of #BibleBuild has finally come to an end after Bible Sumettikul unfollowed Build Jakapan on his Instagram account.
No one's sure why Bible did this but some are speculating that this is Bible and + pic.twitter.com/5zxGB8vXHB

Build has been on indefinite hiatus since KinnPorsche co-creator Poi Patchayamon Theewasujaroen accused him of cheating, abuse, and scamming during their two-year relationship. The actor said, “I want everyone to be patient while we go through the legal process. I believe the truth will prevail in court, and the justice system will bring me justice.”
