Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul[3] (Thai: นิชคุณ หรเวชกุล; RTGS: Nitchakhun Horawetchakun; born June 24, 1988), better known mononymously as Nichkhun (Korean: 닉쿤), is a Thai American[4][5][6] rapper, singer, songwriter, actor and model who is currently based in South Korea as a member of the South Korean boy band 2PM.

Early life and family[edit]

Nichkhun was born in Rancho Cucamonga, California, U.S. to Thai Chinese parents and is a dual national of Thailand and the United States.[7][8][9] His maternal grandparents emigrated to Thailand from Hainan, and he has said that he has extended family and distant ancestors from Guangzhou.[8][10] His mother, Yenjit Horvejkul (née Mekworewut), is the chief executive officer of her family's pharmaceutical business, Union Medical, which imports pharmaceutical products from abroad and is a major government contractor.[11][12][13] He comes from a wealthy background, which earned him the nickname "Thai Prince" in South Korea.[11] The second of four children, Nichkhun has an older brother Nichan Bert (born September 11, 1986),[14] and two younger sisters, Nichthima Yanin (born July 22, 1990)[15] and Nachjaree (Chereen) (born October 20, 1994).

After moving back to Thailand, the family resided in the Bangkok suburbs and Nichkhun and his siblings attended Thai-medium schools. He had no inclination towards the performing arts as a child and was a competitive badminton player.[16] At the age of twelve, he boarded at Wanganui Collegiate School in New Zealand for a year and a half and was sent to attend Etiwanda High School with his brother in Rancho Cucamonga, California.[a] He was scouted by a scout manager of JYP Entertainment at the Los Angeles Korean Music Festival as a high school senior and offered a trainee contract, despite having no background in singing or dancing.[19] In 2006 he moved to South Korea for training, becoming the first non-ethnic Korean trainee at the company. He first appeared through Mnet's Hot Blood, a program that showed the intense physical training that 13 male trainees had to go through for the opportunity to debut in either a four-member ballad group (2AM) or a seven-member dance group (2PM) under JYP Entertainment.[20]

Career[edit]

The Viu Original drama revolves around Manasaporn's character who concocts a special tea so that she can make her boss (played by Nichkhun) fall in love with her.[64][57] The highly-rated drama won several awards at the 2020 Asian Academy Creative Awards, including a Best Supporting Actor (Thailand) for his role.[65]

2021–present: Hollywood debut[edit]

In 2021, Nichkhun and Hwang Chan-sung made special cameo appearances in Vincenzo to support their bandmate Ok Taec-yeon.[69] He featured in the single "How Cute is This?" (น่ารักอะไรเบอร์นี้) by Thai pop star Saksit Vejsupaporn, his first time rapping in Thai, but was unable to participate in the music video as tightened COVID-related restrictions prevented him from returning to Thailand.[70]

In 2022, the horror movie Cracked was finally released after having production repeatedly delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He then starred in the Viu Thailand original series Finding the Rainbow as one of the three protagonists alongside Sushar Manaying and Itthipat Thanit. His role as Thai-American businessman Wilson won critical acclaim and he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 2023 Asia Contents Awards & Global OTT Awards.[71]

Nichkhun starred in the Hollywood film The Modelizer, a romantic comedy directed by Keoni Waxman, alongside Byron Mann, Rayssa Bratillieri, Dominika Kachlik, and Kenneth Tsang. It was filmed on location in Hong Kong.[72] Originally titled Hong Kong Love Story, it was renamed The Modelizer and released through Vertical Entertainment on July 14, 2023.[73]

Impact and public image[edit]

Nichkhun is the first Thai national to debut in a K-pop idol group and achieve success.[74][75] Prior to his debut, the "foreigners" in the industry were predominantly either of partial Korean parentage or ethnic Koreans from the North American or Japanese diasporas. He is often mentioned as a pioneer as his popularity in South Korea further contributed to the Korean Wave (Hallyu) in Thailand, which was still an emerging market for K-pop at the time of his debut.[76][77] In 2012 he was awarded the Kerd of the Year, which recognizes the most popular and influential Thai celebrities chosen by host Woody Milintachinda and voted by the public.[78]

His public profile as a member of 2PM has made him one of the most recognizable faces in the Korean entertainment industry who hail from Southeast Asia.[79] He has been cited multiple times by South Korean and Thai government officials in diplomatic talks and was appointed the Goodwill Ambassador for the 2018 Thai Festival held in Seoul to celebrate 60 years of formal diplomatic relations between both countries.[80][81][82] Due to his fluency in English besides Korean and Thai, he has featured in tourism campaigns and presented travel documentaries sponsored by the Tourism Authority of Thailand.[83][84]

Personal life[edit]

As a male citizen of Thailand, he was subject to the military draft lottery in 2009 and subsequently received an exemption from military service as his home district had met the required quota.[85][86]

On July 24, 2012, Nichkhun was involved in a vehicular collision with a motorcyclist in Gangnam. It was reported that the singer had been driving under the influence of alcohol when he crashed into a motorcycle. His BAC measured at 0.056%, thus his license was suspended. Nichkhun personally apologized for the incident, resulting in him taking a hiatus from the entertainment industry.[87]
