Controversies
In May 2025, a contractual dispute arose between Grand Ivory Records (GIR), the management agency of Chisanupong Paungmanee (Smart), and Headliner Thailand (HLN) together with Tailai Entertainment, which co-managed Smart and Boom during the series production.[6]
On 12 May 2025, WeTV Thailand and Tailai issued a statement claiming that GIR had unilaterally terminated its collaboration, refusing to participate in further activities related to the “SmartBoom” pairing. GIR responded with official statements asserting that the termination was legally compliant, citing repeated contractual violations, and denied obstructing joint activities. GIR emphasized Smart's exclusive representation by Grand Ivory and criticized failures to provide access to his Chinese social media accounts (Weibo and RedNote).[6]
On 22 June 2025, Grand Ivory announced the end of its cooperation with Headliner Thailand, confirming exclusive representation of Smart. Meanwhile, WeTV and Tailai declared suspension of support and investment in Smart, while continuing development of Top Form focusing on other cast members.[6]
On 13 June 2025, WeTV announced a lawsuit against Smart and his agency, Grand Ivory Records, citing breach of contract.[7]
