This is following a recent event last August where, following a football game between first-year students of Chulalongkorn University where Fourth played for the team of law students, Fourth was followed around by some fans, which extended to when he used the restroom, where someone recorded a video of him and uploaded it to social media.
The social media users in question have been identified by GMMTV as Instagram user @sonpp_ and X (formerly Twitter) user @sonponthana. The incident was described by the company as “causing disgrace, trouble, and annoyance in public, as well as defamation by digital publication.”
Fans of Fourth have reacted to the news on social media, with most expressing relief and joy in the replies of the Tweet, while others have expressed frustration that such action needs to be taken in the first place, wishing that such events did not occur, to begin with.
