She is a rising star in her own right in Thailand, where she acts, sings, and hosts — according to MyDramaList, she’s got at least six credits to her name. She is also a member of the girl group Gai-A, which debuted in 2013, disbanded three years later, in 2016, and reunited just last year.
Junji was born and raised in Thailand, the daughter of a Thai father and a Filipino mother. She has two sisters.
The up-and-coming actress has been rumored to be Thai heartthrob Mario Maurer’s beloved lady for eight years now, since 2013 — however, the couple is intensely private, rarely posting photos of each other on social media.
When they do, however, it's very sweet.
Last year, Junji posted a birthday message for her beau. Junji’s mom also seems to approve of Mario, whom she took a photo with and posted on her Facebook.
