Well-known television host Noom Kanchai recently commented on DJ Man’s interview where he accused a fellow celebrity of extorting 14 million baht. The online community is abuzz with speculation, with many believing they have identified the individual in question.

“If you don’t give me and Baitoey 7 million baht each, you won’t survive. You can write my name down, and I’ll come visit you. I’m with the official. They said it like that, and we had nothing left that day.”

The situation took another twist when Noom Kanchai posted on his Facebook page, describing the interview as “intriguing.” He asked DJ Man whether he had received any offers of assistance before entering the legal battle. DJ Man responded that it was even more painful because the person involved was from the same industry.

“This person always manages to escape the law, even though we can all see it. They were involved in our case too and demanded from us.”

DJ Man further explained that the individual reportedly asked for 7 million baht each from him and Baitoey, totaling 14 million baht, to ensure their safety.

“They said we wouldn’t survive otherwise because they knew us well. I didn’t mean to say this, but I don’t want this person to do the same to others. It’s terrible.”

The emotional distress was evident as DJ Man spoke of the betrayal by someone from the same field.

“It shakes you to your core when you realise a colleague can do this. They always seem to get away with everything. We’ve acted together before, and it shouldn’t be that way, especially when we’re already struggling.”

Noom Kanchai, in a previous post, also added to the speculation by asking, “Who are they, Man? I am really familiar with this.”

Following these statements, internet users have been fervently trying to guess the identity of the celebrity DJ Man alluded to, with many claiming they have figured it out, reported KhaoSod.
