P'Jung, Cullen, and Dan are making waves as the new official presenters of DERMEDY skincare brand under MYU-NIQUE, operated by Varinda Import and Export. The trio, featuring P'Jung (Jeong Kyungbae), Cullen (Park Keedok), and Dan (Kim Inyeon) from the viral YouTube channel Cullen HateBerry, were unveiled at the grand 'DERMEDY Summer Lab: Perfect Balance with P'Jung Cullen Dann' event. The event introduced the new DERMEDY PH BALANCE TONER PAD in three formulas—a moisturizing and pH-balancing product enhanced with vegan PDRN for naturally stronger skin, held at Mega Plaza Bangkok's fountain zone.

Before the event began, all three shared their experiences using the products and reflected on their recent Songkran celebrations in Khon Kaen, where temperatures hit a scorching 42 degrees Celsius. They recounted getting splashed with water and covered in powder throughout the festivities, with Dan hilariously admitting he forgot to buy powder paint. When asked about their recent appearance on 'Khun Phra Chuay,' a traditional Thai cooking show—their first time on the program as a trio—the group expressed genuine excitement. Cullen praised the experience of learning traditional Thai cooking techniques, while P'Jung highlighted how much they enjoyed attempting authentic Thai culinary traditions. Dan, who regularly cooks at home, confessed he's been focusing more on Thai dishes lately and would struggle without YouTube tutorials for Korean recipes anymore.

When discussing the differences between Thai and Korean ingredients and cooking styles, Cullen noted the challenge of understanding flavor profiles with unfamiliar ingredients, while P'Jung particularly enjoyed learning to scrape coconut meat. Dan revealed his favorite Thai dishes to prepare are pad krapow (basil stir-fry) and som tam (papaya salad). The event transformed into an interactive DERMEDY Summer Lab experience where attendees could try products firsthand, participate in games, take photos at exclusive booths, and engage with multiple zones designed for discovering the perfect toner pad formula for their skin type.

Breaking: Court Grants Bail to Min Pichaya and Sam Yuranun with 1 Million Baht Collateral in D-Icon Case, Imposing Travel Ban. At the Criminal Court on Ratchadamri Road, following the Special Cases prosecutor's presentation of renowned actors Yuranun Phamormnontri and Pichaya Wattanamontri as defendants in the D-Icon fraud case, both submitted 3 million baht collateral each to request temporary release while awaiting court judgment. The court found that although it had previously denied bail during the investigation phase, the change in case circumstances warranted reconsideration. The court approved temporary release for both defendants during trial proceedings. However, given the large number of victims and substantial damages involved, the court set bail at 1 million baht and imposed a ban on traveling outside the kingdom without permission, with notification required to immigration authorities. Min Pichaya and Sam Yuranun posted 3 million baht collateral each, shocking observers who noted they faced additional charges related to multi-level marketing promotion.

Thailand is confident in its bid to host the 2030 Youth Olympic Games with stronger prospects than rival candidates, following a visit from the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) president who met directly with the Prime Minister with full backing. Multiple nations are supporting Thailand's bid, expressing confidence in the country's preparedness. Prof. Pimol Srivikrom, chairman of the Thailand Olympic Committee, along with deputy chairs Maj. Gen. Chai Pakdi Sirivat and Thana Chaiyaprasit, held a press conference updating on Thailand's progress as host candidate after Sheikh Joaan Bin Hamad Al-Thani, president of the Olympic Council of Asia and Qatar's Olympic president, visited Thailand and met with the Prime Minister on April 27.

Prof. Pimol stated that Sheikh Joaan's two-day visit had two objectives: visiting the Thailand Olympic Committee, which is a great honor as Thailand is only the second country he has visited since assuming the OCA presidency, and meeting with the Prime Minister, both of which went smoothly. The Olympic Committee discussions covered Thailand's future international role in sports, with Sheikh Joaan expressing that Thailand should host more sporting events and offer to host training camps for Asian taekwondo teams, which he enthusiastically accepted.

Regarding the Prime Minister's meeting, Pimol explained it focused on strengthening bilateral relations and Thailand's bid for the 2030 Youth Olympic Games. Sheikh Joaan expressed hope that the games would remain in Asia and offered full support, while the Prime Minister listened and inquired about details including the selection timeline and process. The International Olympic Committee will select the host at its assembly on June 25, 2026, in Lausanne, Switzerland, with three finalists: Chile, Paraguay, and Thailand.

The Prime Minister called in the Minister of Tourism and Sports and other officials to receive detailed briefings, pledged his commitment, and scheduled further meetings. When asked about obstacles, Prof. Pimol noted issues with government guarantee letters and accommodation guarantees for 5,000 rooms, though the Youth Olympic Games organizing committee understands due to the government transition. Thailand has significant advantages including excellent tourism infrastructure, culture, and accessibility, with many nations wanting to send athletes to train there.

Police have filed serious corruption charges against the former abbot and former chanting master of Wat Bang Khlan in Phetchaburi's Po Thale District for embezzling 9 million baht from amulet sales. The investigation, jointly conducted by the Buddhist Clergy Department and the National Anti-Corruption Commission, expanded the case after discovering that the suspects and others conspired to conceal money from amulet sales, failed to record it in the temple's accounts, and secretly transferred it to personal bank accounts.

On April 27, 2025, Deputy Police Commander Charoon Kiati Pankaew and Buddhist Clergy Police Chief Prasong Chaleimpan summoned the defendants to hear the charges. The accused are Phra Khru Pisuddhi Warakorn, the former abbot, and Phorn Pan Peng, 73, the former chanting master. Both face charges under Criminal Code Section 147 (embezzlement), Section 157 (misconduct in office), and violations of the Anti-Corruption Act.

Deputy Police Commander Charoon revealed that the case stems from internal temple conflicts lasting over 11 years, before complaints were filed regarding financial irregularities related to the production of "Luang Pho Ngern" amulets in late 2022, intended to fund construction of a Thai-style pavilion. The investigation uncovered several serious irregularities: over 9 million baht from amulet sales was not recorded in the temple's account books; shell accounts were used to receive amulet pre-order transfers instead of the temple's account; and when questioned, the defendants claimed the money was used to purchase land for the temple, but only 190,000 baht in actual land purchases was found, with the remaining funds unaccounted for.

Additionally, investigators found that temple funds totaling approximately 9 million baht were used to hire lawyers to pursue cases against villagers who investigated and opposed the abbot's administration. Investigators determined that these actions constitute organized corruption using official positions for personal gain and unlawfully misappropriating temple assets, with the "Luang Pho Ngern Foundation" within the temple allegedly serving as a mechanism to benefit the suspects' associates.

Both defendants initially denied all charges, but police assert they have clear financial evidence and transaction trails, and will pursue the case to the fullest extent of the law.

"A temple must be a place that strengthens people's spirits, not a source of profit for certain individuals," Deputy Police Commander Charoon emphasized.

On April 27, 2025, police from Muang Krabi station detained a 45-year-old male passenger from Chonburi province and interrogated him overnight following a disturbance aboard Air Asia flight FD 4401 from Krabi to Suvarnabhumi. The passenger made prohibited statements while boarding, causing the pilot to order a temporary halt to the flight at Krabi International Airport at 1:30 AM. Police released him on 80,000 baht bail, secured by his wife's bank account, before he returned to Chonburi.

The private airline's legal team is pursuing additional civil charges against the passenger for the damage caused and the resulting four-hour flight delay.

The passenger, an employee of a company in Chonburi, was traveling to Krabi with approximately 30 colleagues. While storing luggage in the overhead compartment during boarding, he made remarks in the nature of "move over carefully, watch out for bombs." Unaware that such statements constitute prohibited language on aircraft, airline staff immediately notified the pilot and coordinated with police to conduct a search and detain the passenger.
