Chawarin Perdpiriyawong (Thai: ชวรินทร์ เพริศพิริยะวงศ์, born July 25, 2001), nicknamed NuNew (นุนิว), is a Thai actor and singer.
He made his acting debut in 2022 in the TV series Cutie Pie, achieving fame and being nicknamed "Son of the Nation".[1][2]
Perdpiriyawong is of Chinese descent.[3] Due to their parents' jobs, he and his older brother grew up with their grandparents.[4] On October 12, 2023, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in Chinese language from the Faculty of Humanities of Kasetsart University in Bangkok.[5]
Perdpiriyawong was first contacted through Facebook by a manager who asked him if he wanted to work in the entertainment industry.[6][7] Although he had never been interested in it, he asked his parents for advice and decided to give it a try.[4] When a subsequent acting project fell through,[4] he signed with Domundi and starred in the reality-variety show DMD Reality in 2021.[3][6] He debuted in 2022 in Cutie Pie, playing Kuea Keerati opposite Pruk Panich:[8] the success of the BL romance series shot him to stardom overnight, both in Thailand and abroad,[9] and Howe Magazine included him in the list of the 50 most influential people of the year.[10] He reprised his role in 2023 both in the sequel Cutie Pie 2 You and the spin-off Naughty Babe.[11] In the meantime, Perdpiriyawong starred in the series Mission Fan-Possible and the movie After Sundown.[12][13]
Aside from acting, Perdpiriyawong pursued a singing career: after lending his voice to the soundtrack of Cutie Pie, in September 2022 he sang "True Love" for the Thai series To Sir, With Love, writing the Chinese lyrics.[14] For his 21st birthday, he held the NuNew Magic Day fanmeet/concert, performing in front of 3,000 fans.[15] In July 2023, he released his first single titled "Anything",[16][17] ranking 12th on the Billboard Global's World Digital Song Sales Chart.[18] On September 30 and October 1, 2023, Perdpiriyawong and Pruk Panich held a sold-out joint concert at Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani: both shows were followed by 4,000 people onsite and over 15,000 online.[19][20] On November 4 and 5, he performed at Peck-Aof-Ice InFriendnity Concert as a special guest.[21]
