Nene Royal, whose father is Mr. Nong and mother is Mrs. Chuanpis, opened up to the media for the first time. She was surprised to learn that she has 10 endorsements, and there might be more. She revealed that she cried when she heard the song “Nene Nai Naem Mak” (Nene is very cute). Her husband, Mr. Thanin, gave her father a car, hoping that Nene would have a comfortable ride. Nene Royal gave her first interview to Thai media after winning America’s Got Talent at the “Welcome Nene Royal: Win The World for Thailand” event, organized by Siam Piwat and the private sector at Siam Paragon.
On Oct 4, 2026, during the welcome ceremony at Siam Paragon, she shared, “Today, I’m excited and very happy that everyone has come to welcome me. I was shocked to see the crowds on both sides of the road. I didn’t expect it to be like this. I’m very happy. Everyone called out my name, and I said hi and thanked everyone. I’m very touched.” Recalling the day she won, she said, “I didn’t expect them to announce my name as the champion. I was shocked and couldn’t stop laughing. At first, I practiced what I would say if I won, but when they announced it, I was stunned. (Laughs) Before the final round, I just wanted to give my best performance. I didn’t think about winning. I planned to keep performing my songs. My dream is to perform on concert stages and make everyone enjoy my music. I’m currently working on new songs.” Regarding the 10 endorsements, she said, “It’s true. I was shocked. I saw many foreign celebrities endorsing products, and I didn’t expect to be one of them. I’m very impressed.” When asked if she thought there might be more than 10 endorsements, Nene whispered, “I don’t know. We’ll have to wait and see.” About the condo she received, she said, “I don’t know the value. It hasn’t been disclosed yet. Recently, I also received a car.” On managing her time, she said, “I have a schedule for studying and rehearsing. I have to balance my work with my studies. I want to thank my younger self for working hard and bringing me to where I am today. I will continue to practice and strive forward.” She added, “I’m proud to be called the ‘daughter of the nation.’ I feel honored and touched. Thank you to everyone who supports me. I want to be the daughter of the nation.”
When asked if she was used to her fame, Nene said, “Not yet. I still tell myself, ‘Hey, we’re not famous yet. We’re not famous yet.’ I want to tell everyone that if you want your dreams to come true, you have to be determined and practice a lot. Don’t give up.” She continued, “I’ve listened to ‘Nene Nai Naem Mak’ many times. It’s a song I love. It reminds me of when I was a kid, just starting out, and now my dream has come true. Whenever I hear it, I get a little teary. I go to school, and my friends play this song. It’s amazing.”
Her father, Mr. Nong, revealed, “I’m very proud. I didn’t expect this day to come. I feel overwhelmed. When Nene won, I didn’t expect her to be the champion because her competitors were very strong. That day, I was stunned. I couldn’t speak. I just fell down automatically. We were all together—me, her mother, and Nene. We all fell down. When I fell, her mother fell too. (Laughs)” Regarding the contract, he said, “I don’t know yet. They haven’t sent anything. We’ll have to wait for an email. Naturally, we’ll have to sign a contract with America’s Got Talent.”
When asked what he was most worried about regarding fame and money, he said, “I’m worried about everything. If no one helps, I can’t handle it alone. It’s too fast. We need a team to screen the work. For overseas work, we’ll have to consult with them. For some work in Thailand, we’ll have to inform them and consult with them first.” Mr. Thanin, the husband, said, “The car is old, so I want Nene to have a comfortable ride.” Mr. Nong added, “We have to dedicate ourselves to her. We have to give her our personal time. We have to give her our all because we’ve decided to support her dreams. We have to sacrifice everything for her. Being by her side as she pursues her dreams, we have to be her strength. She has brought so much change to our family that I can’t even describe it. Today, she has exceeded our expectations. I want to thank everyone because what I saw, what I thought, what I created (pauses, tears flowing, Nene teases her father not to cry) has become a reality. My daughter has made the whole country love her. It’s like we’ve entrusted the whole country to love and take care of her. Thank you very much. (Sniffles, tears flowing)” Mrs. Chuanpis said, “I’m very happy. She has worked hard. When they announced it, I was shocked. It was like a miracle. I was very excited. Thank you everyone very much.”
