Did the K-pop industry already find its fifth-generation it girl? We think so! Do you know who Natty is? If not, then you’re in luck as we are about to take a look into the new (and old!) career of the KISS OF LIFE member, Natty. The idol and her styling have been going around and viral among K-pop fans, and we’re here to keep you updated with them!
The Idol Career of Natty
Who is Natty, if you may ask? If she caught your eye right away as a member of KISS OF LIFE, here’s something you should know: She isn’t new to the idol industry. Natty had participated in a few survival shows in the K-pop world, but didn’t make it to the final lineup.

- She was a former JYP Entertainment trainee, which led her to participate in the survival show, SIXTEEN. Yes, the show where the third-generation girl group TWICE was birthed. Unfortunately, in the last episode, the young trainee was eliminated.
- It didn’t stop there for the Thai idol trainee. Natty joined another reality show, Idol School. Her luck in participating in these shows isn’t that great, as she missed this opportunity to be a part of the girl group, fromis_9. By episode 11, she was eliminated from the show.
She signed with S2 Entertainment in 2022 to continue her activities. This happened after being with Swing Entertainment since 2020, where Natty debuted as a soloist with the single, NINETEEN. For older K-pop fans, her name has always been watched out for, especially with her idol potential ever since joining SIXTEEN at 13 years old.

- In July 2023, Natty debuted with S2’s girl group, KISS OF LIFE. It consists of four members, including Natty, Julie Han, Belle, and Haneul. Currently, Anatchaya Suputtipong (her birth name) is the main dancer, lead rapper, and sub-vocalist of the group.
With a training period of almost ten years to be part of a girl group, she easily takes the all-rounder title for KISS OF LIFE. At the young age of 11 years old, Natty pursued her idol dreams at SM Entertainment, moved to JYP, and then joined SIXTEEN. Ever since K-pop fans knew that she was a promising star, and perhaps, this 5th-generation is set to be hers!
The Thai K-pop Idol’s It Girl Energy
While being admired for her talent and visuals, the audience can’t help but admire and be in awe of her styling. Compared to other KISS OF LIFE members, Natty has been on the revealing side of styling. However, there was a certain piece of clothing that earned mixed reactions from fans.
In a jacket-behind photoshoot for their album Born to be XX, Natty showed off her fitted and revealing black dress. Although most people and supporters loved the confidence she embodied when she wore the dress.

Throughout their music show performances and promotions, this isn’t the first time that Natty was styled to show off her physique. And, of course, this does not only happen to her. Even other KISS OF LIFE members have worn showy styles of clothes.

Although K-fans have found this quite inappropriate for a rookie girl group, other fans said that it’s not like she dresses that way all the time. Natty didn’t go viral because of her style; sure it is one thing, but almost everyone finds the young idol attractive and full of talent.

Natty’s a 2002-born idol, making her the right age to wear something of her liking. If she is comfortable and she likes the style, it shouldn’t be a problem. Honestly, ‘it’s not too much,’ the dress still covered her body enough, and it was for a photoshoot. We’re positive that it probably didn’t take long before she changed into another outfit. Well, fans started to joke about how this issue gives off a 5th gen it girl energy from Natty.
knetz being negative towards natty. 5th gen it girl on the rise!!! https://t.co/kNxy95ZkJQ pic.twitter.com/UoHMPNjHmo
