Jackie Jackrin Joins GMMTV, Releases Final EP Track
Thai singer-actor Jackie Jackrin has released "Until We Meet Again," the final single from his EP "How I Feel?" marking the end of a nine-year career chapter. In a candid interview, he revealed his decision to close his self-managed label OTH Entertainment and sign with major entertainment company GMMTV as an actor, describing the move as a rebirth and a new true starting point in his life.
After nearly nine years in entertainment, multi-talented artist 'Jackie Jackrin' or 'Jackie' Jackrin Kungwankiatichai, who has undergone many changes and growth phases, recently released his fourth single "Until We Meet Again" as the final track of the album "EP.02 How I Feel?" Today the artist opened up in an interview about the song's creation and his decision to end his role as Artist Management at his own OTH Entertainment to join GMMTV as an actor.
What inspired the song "Until We Meet Again"? Jackie: "This song was inspired by feelings of longing, looking back at past stories and wondering what I truly miss. Reflecting on experiences with people, family, friends, and fans made me want to convey that feeling of missing someone through this song. It's about meeting someone, perhaps saying goodbye, but still hoping to meet again someday on a beautiful day. Previously I released songs about happiness, sadness, anger, and this latest one is about longing — placed as the final track to close the album. If you listen in sequence, you'll understand the story. Each song was made during different phases of Jackie's life. EP.01 was about encounters, talking about people around me. This EP focuses more on looking at myself and how I feel."
Which life phase does this song represent? Jackie: "Right now. It's a life transition for Jackie. After the group (TRINITY) ended, I started as a solo artist, founded my own company, managed myself, until now — another growth step deciding to join a new home at GMMTV. This song is like the final chapter capping my life in the previous phase."
How many years in the industry? Jackie: "Nearly nine years. Many transitions. I've always been ready to accept change. I feel every change makes us grow."
What were you like on day one? Jackie: "Very young, clueless. Couldn't speak well. When asked questions I'd barely talk, waiting for others to answer. Today I speak better. Still remember those feelings — I was more of a follower, like an introvert who couldn't speak well, lacked confidence because I didn't know what impact my words might have. Until today, gradually becoming more mature and changing continuously. Honestly, I wanted to change myself too. Felt I had to rely on myself."
After nine years, what are you like today? Jackie: "Today feels like being reborn. A life transition where I feel the previous phase was like kindergarten — learning experiences. Now is the true starting point of my life. Starting my own company was one starting point; this is another new beginning."
What never crossed your mind would happen? Jackie: "Probably life planning. Before, I never seriously planned my life. Mostly others decided for me. Reaching today, after running my own company, living and working more independently, thinking for myself and getting to know myself more — I feel I should do what's truly me."
Which version of yourself do you like? Jackie: "I like every version. If I had to pick a favorite, it's now. Because today I've been through so much, feel strong, have overcome difficult points. Believe that if I face more difficult points in the future, I'll get through them too."
Do you look brighter now than when running your own company? Jackie: "Back then was high pressure. Felt like medicine..."
