What happens when seven incredibly talented individuals come together under one label?  You get VINX!  This sensational seven-member group debuted on June 2nd, 2025, under A Lot Of Tone,  From their creative process to their personal inspirations, we’ll uncover the heart and soul of VINX in this candid conversation.  Let’s get started!

Looking back on your debut with “Aiyaa,” what was the most memorable moment for you as a group?

( Claire ) – Looking back at our debut, the most memorable moment for me as a group was right before we went on stage together. We were all excited and nervous, but there was this moment backstage when we looked at each other, smiled, held hands, and said something like, ‘We can do this!’ It was such a warm and special feeling—like we were really about to step forward as one team.


And when we actually got on stage and heard the fans cheering for all of us, it felt so amazing. In that moment, everything we had practiced together felt so meaningful. It’s a memory I’ll never forget.


( Tatah ) – My debut song was such a special moment for me! I was still a little unsure and confused at times, but working hard together with friends who share the same dream made it all so heartwarming. Everyone gave their best, and that inspired me to keep shining too~!

( Bam ) – That day was the very first time our fans got to see us in person — to find out who these fairies really were. I was incredibly excited because so many people came to watch our performance. The cheers were so loud, louder than anything I’d ever heard before. It made me feel like I really wanted to give back to everyone who had been waiting for us by putting on the best show I possibly could. It was one of the days I smiled the widest, and it’s a moment I’ll never forget.

(khem) – Looking back, the most memorable moments for me are every single one along the journey to our debut day. From the very first day the group was formed, to the day all seven members stood together for the first time—everyone practiced so hard. I personally had a lot of worries, but in the end, I just tried to do my best, no matter what the outcome would be. We supported each other and gave each other strength and positive energy. I’m truly grateful to them for making every day of my life so joyful and unforgettable.


( Pie ) – Mine is all the time we are together. Since the first time we met, we practiced our song and gave it our best to make it perfect. Every time we dream about how we are going to grow as a group until we step on the stage together as V!NX. Since we all have the same dream, it’s such a powerful energy to drive our group to what we’ve dreamt.

( Sai ) – The most unforgettable moment for me was seeing so many fans waiting for us—even though they didn’t know who we were, since we hadn’t revealed our identities yet! Before going on stage, I was really nervous. But once we started performing, all of us just let go and enjoyed the moment. I could feel the excitement from the crowd, and I’m sure our fans had a memorable experience too.


The reveal of your seven members at the June 1st showcase must have been exciting. What was the atmosphere like backstage, and how did it feel to finally meet your fans face-to-face?

( Claire ) – The debut performance of all seven members on June 1st was such an exciting moment! Backstage, everyone was super nervous—our hearts were racing because we could already hear the fans cheering even before we went on stage. So many more people showed up than we expected—it was completely packed! I honestly felt like I was about to cry. When I stepped onto the stage and saw everyone smiling and cheering so loudly, it was a moment I’ll never forget.


Meeting the fans up close made me feel even warmer inside. Everyone was so supportive—they said they had been waiting for us, some came to introduce themselves, complimented our outfits, said the dance was cute, and that the song was really catchy. It made me realize that all the hard work and practice we put in was really worth it. Thank you so much to all the fans who came and cheered us on—you really gave us so much strength!


( Bam )  – Backstage, I kept thinking — is this really happening? Am I dreaming? We had been practicing and keeping everything a secret for such a long time. I started to feel the excitement the moment I changed into a Fairy outfit. I was nervous, but I just focused on doing my best and giving everything I had on stage.


I had taken a break from activities before to focus on my studies, so coming back and seeing the fans who were still waiting for me really warmed my heart. It reminded me how much I truly love being an idol.


( Khem ) – That day, I was overwhelmed with excitement and a mix of emotions. I’ve been an idol for about five years, and I was worried—would the fans accept this change? Would they still want to see us on stage? Would people be disappointed in us? Had we practiced enough? These were the questions running through my mind. But at the same time, I was genuinely happy that the day had finally come. All the members were excited and full of joy.


When I stepped on stage, I was stunned by the loud cheers and the huge crowd that came to see us. It made me so happy that I couldn’t hold back my tears. It felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off my chest, and my worries began to fade. So many fans came to congratulate us. I really don’t know how to thank them enough. Thank you for believing in us and being ready to walk beside us. Your cheers and support mean the world to us.


( Tatah ) – Of course, it was my very first time, and I was so excited that I even felt like I had to sneak into the event in disguise! Since I’m usually behind the scenes or just an attendee, everything felt new—and I probably acted a little awkward without realizing it.
Backstage, I couldn’t sit still at all. I kept walking around, repeating the same moves again and again.

And the very moment I stepped on stage, it felt like my heart completely stopped. I never imagined that so many people would look at me and smile like that.

I really thought it would be a wonderful beginning, but honestly, I just couldn’t contain my excitement—haha!
But in the end, once I got to meet everyone and talk with them, I felt so much more at ease. Looking back, that day became such a warm and unforgettable memory for me.

( Pie ) – The clearest feeling before I step on the stage was so happy that we will finally perform as V!NX and it’s the time that we finally show our effort. When we step on the stage the fan was cheering very loud although it was not a surprise that I will transfer to V!NX but they are still happy and surprise to see me in the new group. Our fans enjoy our song and the stage so much they also have ear worm from our song.


( Sai ) Honestly, I was really worried before going on stage since it was our very first performance. I didn’t want anything to go wrong—like sound or lighting issues, or making a mistake myself. But before we went out, we all held hands and shouted, “We can do it!” three times together. That moment gave me so much confidence and made me feel like this would be the best day of the year.


Even though our performance wasn’t perfect, I could see that everyone was happy and having fun. After the show, meeting our fans face-to-face was amazing!

I was surprised by how many people came to see us, including new fans and even people who had never heard of a Thai J-pop group before. It made me really proud, and I hope V!NX can help introduce even more people to Thai J-pop in the future.

What was the most challenging aspect of preparing for your debut, and how did you overcome it as a group?

( Claire ) – For me, the biggest challenge in preparing for our debut was singing. It’s something I haven’t been very confident about—especially singing in front of a big crowd. Honestly, I’m still not completely used to it, but I’ve been practicing every day, and little by little, I feel like my voice is getting more stable and I’m starting to gain a bit more confidence.


What really helped was practicing together with my group members. Everyone was so supportive and would give me advice on what worked and what sounded better. That encouragement made me more willing to use my voice and step out of my comfort zone.

And when we finally got on stage and I heard the fans cheering, all that fear started to fade away. I still want to improve even more, though—because singing is something I really want to get better at for everyone who’s waiting to hear us perform.


( Bam ) – One of the most challenging aspects was building physical strength. Singing and dancing at the same time takes a lot out of you, so we had to prepare ourselves with extra training and exercise to be able to perform on stage for long periods.

There was a time when I got sick and couldn’t sing as well as I wanted to. I felt quite down about it. But the other members were always there to cheer me up and make me smile, and thanks to them, those negative feelings eventually faded away.


( khem ) – The most difficult and challenging part of preparing for our debut, for me, was honestly  everything.

This was such a big change in my life. I was more involved in building the group from the very beginning, so every step felt like a new challenge,whether it was shaping the group’s concept or getting through all the intense training. On the outside, I might seem like someone who’s full of confidence. But the truth is, I didn’t feel confident at all. What got me through was practicing over and over, and more than anything, the support and encouragement I received from the other members.

Everyone was so supportive, always lifting each other up. I was really afraid I wouldn’t be able to lead everyone toward the dream we all shared. But even when I doubted myself, the others never gave up. They kept trying their best and kept believing in one another.

That kind of trust and teamwork,from both the members and our amazing staff,was what helped us overcome everything. I’m really grateful for that.


( Tatah ) – The biggest challenge for me… was actually myself! Before debuting, I had no experience at all—I had never been on stage, never held a microphone to sing, never danced, and I’m usually a pretty quiet person too. When I joined, I realized how talented everyone was, and I felt that I had to catch up with them no matter what.


I didn’t know how things would turn out, but right before debut, I came to a big realization… I move very slowly! That became one of my biggest struggles. I spent a lot of time learning how to make my movements stronger, training and practicing really hard—almost like a character in a battle anime!


Another challenge was learning how to stay calm when so many eyes were watching me, even though I was really nervous inside. But in the end, I was able to make it through thanks to the incredible support and guidance from our experienced seniors. I’m really grateful, and looking back, I’m proud I kept going.


( Pie ) The most challenging thing for me is to do the work apart from the idol part. This is the first time I work on the process of forming an idol group and participate in most of the process which takes a lot of time and effort. The workload is extremely much more than expected but we all help each other, everyone did their part within what they can do and we trust each other so it’s not beyond our ability.

( Sai ) For me, the most challenging part was definitely dancing, since it’s never been my strongest skill. But I was surrounded by the incredible support of my V!NX members and our dedicated staff. They patiently trained with me, offered encouragement, and always looked for ways we could all improve together. As a group, we listened to each other and brainstormed openly, making sure every voice was heard and valued.


What truly helped us overcome every obstacle was the bond we shared. Whenever things felt overwhelming, we would come together for a group hug, and in those moments, it felt like we created our own kind of magic. That sense of unity and love gave us the strength to face any challenge, and I believe it’s what made our debut so special.


Now that you’ve had some time to reflect, what are you most proud of regarding your debut?

( Claire ) – Now that I’ve had some time to reflect, what I feel most proud of about this debut is simply being able to stand on stage again. Being back as an idol, getting to meet all the fans again—whether they came to see us in person that day or sent their love and support online—means the world to me.


I can still remember the sound of the cheers echoing in my head. It was exciting, heartwarming, and incredibly empowering. I feel so lucky to have this chance to do what I love again. This time, I’ve made a promise to myself to stay as long as I can, to give it my all, and to grow as an idol together with everyone.


( Bam ) – I feel much prouder of myself now — and I’m also incredibly proud of all the members and the entire V!NX team. Everyone gave their best in their own roles, and I really admire that. I’ve grown to love this version of myself because I’m genuinely happier and smile more easily. Elder Wood even said that when I sing and laugh, it’s like light shines from me. I feel so happy every time a fan comes up to me and tells me they love seeing me smile and looking truly happy.


(Khem) – I’m so proud of everyone our team, the members, myself, and of course, all of our fans. Without any one of them, this group wouldn’t feel complete. Everyone played such an important role in turning everything we’ve planned and dreamed of into reality.
I’m truly, truly thankful to each and every one of you.


From now on, I’m ready to keep growing and improving myself together with all of you. I promise to give it my very best, always.


( Tatah ) – I feel like I’ve taken a big step in overcoming my fears.
Normally, I tend to keep to myself and stay in my own quiet little world. I’ve never been very brave when it comes to trying new things, and I usually only show my bright, cheerful side to people I’m close to.
But after debuting, it feels like I’m starting to become real friends with everyone—and that makes me so happy!


( Pie ) – I am proud of myself for not giving up my dream of being an idol until this day that I truly smile from the bottom of my heart on stage. I am also proud of the members since I saw them from day 1. They practice very hard, develop themself and finally they really shine on the stage, we all smile happily and the fans really enjoy the stage.


( Sai ) – Looking back on our debut, I’m most proud of how dedicated we all were, even when things got tough. We supported each other and made it through as a team. When I think about that day, I remember seeing myself—Sai from V!NX—truly enjoying the moment on stage, shining with happiness alongside my group and our fans. Seeing everyone have such a great time together is something I’ll always cherish.


As a seven-member group, how did you come together and what is the dynamic like within the group?

( Claire ) – At that time, a scout reached out to me and invited me to audition for the company. When I found out it was a company I really liked, I felt excited to give it a try. I was really lucky to pass and become one of the seven members of the group.

The atmosphere within the group is really warm. Everyone is so kind, funny, and just being their true selves. Being together feels like we’re constantly sharing positive energy—it’s like getting healed every day. We help each other during practice and have so much fun when we hang out. It makes all the hard work feel worthwhile because I have these wonderful members walking alongside me. I feel very lucky to be part of this group.

( Bam ) – I was invited to audition, and since I’ve always loved J-pop and idols, I was really excited. My personality is cute, cheerful, and a little mischievous — just like a fairy — so it felt like a perfect match.
To me, the atmosphere within the group feels like a garden full of fairies. Each member has their own unique charm, but we all get along harmoniously.

Every time we meet, it’s all smiles and laughter. Everyone helps each other with everything, and it creates such a wonderful environment. It doesn’t feel like work at all — it feels more like spending time with people I enjoy being around.


( Khem ) – I was chosen by the team and the company to be a member of the group and also to find other members. It was quite a challenge because we didn’t have an open audition. But in the end, we found the right people, and I’m so proud of every single one of them.


Everyone shares the same passion whether it’s our music style or our way of working so the energy and drive we have together is really powerful. Being around them makes everything feel bright and full of life. We’ve built such a strong bond, and everything feels so natural and connected.


We’re all very open with each other, too. Whenever there’s a problem, we can talk about it honestly and solve it together right away. It really feels like this is V!NX.


( Tatah ) – We slowly came together—maybe you could even call it fate.


I was actually a fan before, so finally meeting everyone felt truly magical, like it was meant to be. We’re like puzzle pieces with similar personalities that just happened to fit perfectly. Being together is so much fun, and some days we just can’t stop laughing. It’s been such a joyful experience!


What are some of the unique strengths each member brings to VINX?

( Claire ) – For me, each member of VINX has their own special talents. Everyone has unique strengths that really complement each other well. As for myself, I feel most confident in dancing, and that’s something I can help the other members with, whether it’s the dance moves or the rhythm.


Besides that, the other members have a variety of talents too. Everyone has their own charm and unique qualities that make our group much stronger. Together, we form a well-balanced team that supports and pushes each other forward.


( Bam ) – Each member of V!NX is like a piece of a puzzle that fits together to form a bigger picture. We all have different strengths, but we complement each other really well. As for me, I see myself as more of a supporter — someone who helps the other members whenever they need it. When it comes to performance, I’m most confident in my singing. I feel like it’s something I do well, and I really like the version of myself I see whenever I sing.

( Khem ) – Everyone in V!NX is so talented and has their own unique charm.
No matter what it is, we always grow and improve together as a team. I think one of the biggest strengths we all share and what really makes the group stand out is how deeply we understand each other.
We’re not afraid to speak up or share our thoughts, and that honesty helps us move forward together.


If you ask me what my personal strength is… honestly, I don’t think there’s anything particularly special. (laughs)
I’m someone who can do a bit of everything, but I wouldn’t say I’m the best at any one thing.
Still, maybe that’s a good thing in its own way.


I just hope I can be a little source of comfort and support for the members, even if just a little.


( Tatah ) – To me, everyone in ViNX is incredibly talented in their own unique way.


Some have years of experience as idols, and everything they’ve been through gives them such a special charm. And it’s not just what you see on stage—behind the scenes, we also have so many amazing members who are skilled in production and planning, built from years of experience. I really admire how thoughtful and detail-oriented everyone is.

They’ve shared so much with us—from the basics, to how to carry ourselves professionally, and even little tips and tricks that make our work smoother.


What I love the most is that each of us has a different kind of charm, and yet, we all fit together so perfectly.

( Khem ) the leadership, she has the way to lead all members with empathy and she always listens to all of us before judging. That’s the reason we all trust her
Sai: she always cares about the little details so she helps to correct the chore

( Sai ) : she always cares about the little details so she helps to correct the choreography a lot.
Bam: She has a powerful voice so we can rely on her when recording and on stage.
Claire: Although she is the youngest in our group, she takes a lot of responsibility at work and her calmness makes the atmosphere around her comfortable.


( Tatah ): She is an extremely yellow character with a fresh atmosphere and her liveliness always makes us smile. Also she helps V!NX a lot in art work.


( Bew ): She is also the one who cares about little details in our work process and her smile is very bright.
So when everyone gathers together it makes our group have a strong passion with a lively atmosphere.


( Sai V!NX ): That’s a tough question, but l’d love to share about Claire from VINX. Since dancing isn’t my strongest skill, Claire has always been the one to guide me-she patiently teaches, explains, and supports me whenever I feel unsure. I’m truly grateful for her help and encouragement. She brings so much warmth and care to our group, and I really appreciate having her by my side.


As for my own strength, I focus on helping our VINX members build stronger muscles and core strength, so we’re always ready to sing and dance with full energy on stage. Supporting each other in these ways makes us a stronger team, both physically and emotionally.


What kind of music do you hope to create in the future, and what are some of your musical influences?


( Claire ) – In the future, I hope to create songs that are diverse and have their own unique style. I like songs with fun and cute rhythms but that also carry deep and soft emotions. I want my songs to make listeners feel happy and want to listen to them over and over again.
As for my musical inspirations, I’m personally inspired by artists like Cutie Street, AVAM, and Fruit Zipper. It’s not just their cute and lively sound, but also the energy and sincerity they convey through their music. They make me believe that music can connect deeply with people. These inspirations motivate me to improve my singing, dancing, and overall performance so I can bring the most joy to our fans.


( Bam ) – I want to create music that anyone can enjoy — songs that heal the heart. No matter what someone is feeling, I hope our music can bring them happiness, just like how V!NX wants to be by everyone’s side through every moment in life.


Personally, I really admire AKB48, =LOVE, and FRUITS ZIPPER. Their music gives me so much energy and inspiration as an idol. They make me want to grow and improve, and I hope one day I can shine like they do.


( Khem ) – In the future, I’d love to explore more variety in our music while still keeping that bright and cute energy.
Maybe we’ll even try some slower or sad songs from time to time ,so the members can grow and challenge themselves in new ways.


As for me personally, I really love the music style of groups like the 48 Group, =LOVE, ≠ME, Fruit Zipper, and Cutie Street. They’ve been such big inspirations to me, and honestly, they’re a big part of why I’m here today. That kind of music really reflects who I am.


I enjoy listening to all kinds of J-pop, but if I had to choose artists who truly inspire me and influence the direction of our group, it would definitely be those I mentioned.


Their songs are always so cheerful and full of energy—but there’s also a strong and powerful feeling underneath it all.
I really hope that someday, we’ll have the chance to perform or work together with them. That would be a dream come true! (smiles)


( Tatah ) – I really love songs that sound like anime OSTs! Something like Hanae’s music—or even songs in the style of LiSA are really cool too! Personally, I also get a lot of musical inspiration from Cutie Street.If I ever get the chance to try those kinds of songs in the future… that would be super exciting!


( Pie ) I hope we can continue the lively music and easy listening music so everyone can listen to our song. I hope someday we can produce very good music like Kawaii Lab. and other mainstream Jpop idol.


What advice would you give to aspiring artists who dream of debuting in the music industry?

( Claire ) – Hey friends who dream about becoming artists! I just want to say, don’t be scared to try new things and never ever give up! Everyone is special in their own way — just trust yourself and put your whole heart into it.


Keep practicing, have fun with it, and always listen to the advice from the people around you. But hey, don’t forget to take good care of yourself too! Get plenty of rest, enjoy yummy snacks to keep your energy up, and don’t forget to smile lots!


Every tiny step you take is actually a big win! No matter what happens, remember you’re never alone. You’ve got friends and fans cheering for you every step of the way. So keep shining bright! Your dreams are super beautiful and waiting just for you to grab them.


( Bam ) – I encourage anyone who dreams of becoming an idol to go for it. Dreams are what drive us to wake up every day with purpose and give our all in everything we do. Being an idol has taught me so much — it’s not something you find easily, and it has shaped me into who I am today.

( Khem ) – To anyone who dreams of becoming an artist, an idol, or being part of the music world just remember, every journey always starts from zero. If we never take that first step, then zero will never become one.We only live once, so don’t overthink it!


Just try for yourself, even just once. You might discover what happiness truly feels like, and what it means to really love yourself. It’s okay to feel scared or unsure. You’re not alone we’re always here, cheering you on. Just be brave, and be yourself. Give your all to every opportunity that comes your way.


There will be people who succeed, and people who face setbacks but what matters is that you try to follow your heart..
Keep this in mind: You can do it!


( Tatah ) – Actually, I only just made it through that moment not too long ago—the time when the dream I had always wished for finally came true. So to anyone out there with a dream… I really want to say just go for it!, you won’t regret giving it a try.


Sometimes, fear can sneak in and make us doubt ourselves. But hey, I’ve been there too! I truly believe that when your heart is in it, the right opportunities will find their way to you. Keep believing in yourself, I’m cheering you on!

(Pie): Just don’t give up your dream. Maybe you won’t succeed in the audition or debut in the first place but someday you will find the place that fits you.


( Sai )  My advice is simple, but it comes from the heart: “Never let go of your dreams. Hold on tightly to the passion you felt on your very first day, even if others tell you it’s impossible.

There will be challenges and doubts along the way, but if you truly love what you do and give it your all, your dedication will carry you through. Trust in yourself, keep moving forward, and one day, you’ll see your dreams come true.
