As of late, GL Dramas (Girl Love) have also seen a rise in popularity. The first GL Drama in Thailand, Gap: The Series, captured the attention of drama fans worldwide, especially because of the chemistry between the main actresses — “Freen” Sarocha Chankimha and Rebecca “Becky“ Armstrong (also known as their couple name FreenBecky or FreenBeck).
After going viral for her attendance at BLACKPINK‘s Born Pink concert in Thailand, many have wondered exactly who Becky Armstrong is.
Becky Armstrong was born in 2002 to a Thai mother and a British father. Her first major television appearance was on Thailand’s Got Talent when she was thirteen.
She got her start in acting when she scored the role of an aged-up Thanya, the younger sister of the titular character Tharn, in TharnType The Series 2: 7 Years Of Love. Though this was her first role, she impressed fans with her chemistry with the rest of the cast.
Her next role came in 2022 in the drama Secret Crush On You as Fon.
This drama was the first time fans got to see her and Freen, also playing a supporting role, interact flirtatiously, setting the scene for Becky’s most significant role to date.
On November 19, Gap: The Series debuted, starring Becky and Freen as two coworkers who must overcome hurdles to preserve their love, including an age gap and the royal status of Freen’s character Sam.
With this series, Becky was also able to flex her singing skills, singing four different songs on the drama’s soundtrack.
Though the drama ended in mid-February, Becky has remained busy, making appearances and even preparing for their next set of fan meetings, where it is said she and Freen will announce their next project.
Her next project, a movie titled Love Live Love, will be released this summer.
This young star is making waves with her career, and we can’t wait to see what comes next!
