Getting to Know Tomo K-OTIC I-SPY Magazine MAY 2009
A lot of people became curious about Tomo Visawa Taiyannont, 1 of the 5 members of K-OTIC when he was in the headlines of being of Ploy Cherman’s new boyfriend. After hearing the news Tomo came out to clarify the news saying that “No, I’m not her boyfriend and I’ve never considered dating her.” After hearing this I decided to side with the handsome guy myself. After a while I thought hmm a cute guy like this who can dance well what girl wouldn’t want to be his girlfriend. But who is this girl holding a piece of paper and calling herself Tomo’s fan (fan has multiple meanings in Thai but in this case the person is insinuating that it’s a boyfriend/girlfriend meaning). Let’s see what kind of “fan” she is.
Hello Tomo, my name is Pop Paap.
That’s a cute name. You’re name should’ve been Poppy so that we can be in the same group (smiles)
I want to introduce myself first. I’m a member of your fan club Tomo Team Club (TMTC) and I’m very proud to be apart of TMTC and I’ll forever be a TMTC member.
Thank you for liking me and joining the fan club. All the support and love I get from the fans sort of makes me feel like I should take extra care of myself and that I should work harder for you guys. Right now there is a lot of people expecting a lot of us and there is a lot of pressure coming all around us and I promise that I won’t let you Pop Paap down or anyone else down.
Well … I wanted to tell you that this card here is a Limited Edition card that can’t be found anywhere. I put a lot of effort into it and I have never done something like this before so it isn’t that pretty. But I made it from the heart and even though the writing might not be perfect I tried my best so I can do this for you.
I don’t see anything wrong with this card, I think it’s a pretty card. The idea of your card came from your heart and it’s a cute card actually. And on the back of the card it says “incredible” so that means you really are a true fan since this came from the meaning of K-OTIC.
K = Kick Ass (Koen)
O = Outstanding (Kenta)
T = Terrific (Jongbae)
I = Incredible (me)
C = Chaotic (Poppy)
And if you weren’t a true fan of the group then you wouldn’t have known this. And I actually want to thank you for making this card and putting all of your efforts into making it, it means a lot to me.
I love you so much, you are my idol. You can dance really well, and you have a lot of talent and you also have a good body.
The good body is from working out. When I lived in the states I was always going to the gym doing push ups and playing basketball. Working out is something I like to do and it isn’t something difficult to do either. If there happens to be a day where I can’t make it to the gym that day then I’ll just run laps around my house. But right now I’m not that satisfied with my body, I think I’m too skinny plus I think I get it from my mom since she’s really tiny too. No matter how much I eat I can never get fat so I have to constantly eat a lot of proteins so I can gain more weight.
I have a lot of your pictures in my room and I printed some out and I also have a huge poster of you hanging in my room too. It’s sort of like a mini picture museum of K-OTIC in my room.
That’s awesome, I’ve never knew or heard of anything like this before. I’ve never been told that a fan has picture of me all over their room before. I’ve only known fans where they would see us at concerts and they would take 1,000 pictures per member so 2 members would be 2,000 pictures (laughs). It’s like the capture every movement I make and on the TMTC website they would immediately post em up for the rest to see. At times I would save the pictures that the members took of me and I would print them and take real good care of those pictures because it’s a good memory that was captured by my fans.
I loved your hair and red skinny jeans during your first albums promotion.
(laughs) I never thought that anyone would actually like it. I didn’t think of doing that, the company suggested it. I thought the red pants were a bit much since it was so bright but I took one for the team so it would fit the concept of that album. I care more about how the group looks as a whole instead of worrying about how I personally look like in the group.
I’m following your work with the latest K-OTIC album “Blacklist” and I really love the songs on it.
If you ask me, I personally love the song “Rai Tae Ruk” the most off of the album. I like the melody and the lyrics to the song a lot. The lyrics are exactly like the title of it, even if you don’t treat me that well and is bad towards me I will still love you. I think this is close to real life but I think I have a limit to it unlike what was said in the song. Like if she treated me really really bad then I would break up with her (laughs).
At this time I think I’m going to follow you guys to each event as much as I can because after the new year I have to focus on school and the exams coming up.
That’s good, you should stop following us at the events and focus more on your schoolwork, I want you guys to focus on studying and your education. We won’t run off anywhere and once you are done with school then you can come and see us. There was this one time when I went to go film a commercial and there was a fan who skipped school to come see us and I felt really bad. So I told that fan that next time I don’t want to see them again because they are missing school and I said that the fan can see me after they are done with school. The fan was still really young and I think just started high school too. And the fan promised me that they won’t skip school anymore.
I want to actually see K-OTIC just once because it’ll probably be the happiest day of my life. If I see you I’ll probably want to hug you.
If you have that many pictures of me in your room then I’ll hug you myself.
The weather isn’t so great right now and I want you do take care of your health and I want you to know that I will support you and K-OTIC. I might not be a real important or significant person but I just want to be 1 more person to support and love K-OTIC.
All the support and love that I’ve received has the most meaning to me and is also important to me.
I want to thank you so much for cheering me on and I want you to pass the message on to the other fans as well. If I’ve ever disappointed you guys then I apologize because at certain events there are a lot of people and I could’ve missed a couple of people when greeting you guys. Or if we are in a rush and our team rushes us to our van, it doesn’t mean that we don’t want to stop and talk to you guys, I just want you to know that I as well as the other members do want to stop and chat but during that situation or time we weren’t able to.
