The much-anticipated excitement exploded for Thailand’s top reality show. True Academy Fantasia 2026. The first-week concert almost set Cloud 11 ablaze with the fiery dreams of all 12 contestants. As expected from the AF stage, the thrill was even more intense than anticipated, with many surprises unfolding just in the first week.
The atmosphere of the opening concert carried the theme "My Style," where contestants unleashed their best singing and dancing skills before the principal, judges, and fans who packed the hall. Each contestant showed remarkable progress after just one week in the academy, impressing trainers from the Voice, Dance, and Acting classes with their dedication.
The stage fun began with the season’s host, "Pee Doo - Sanya Kunakorn," who kicked off the first concert by leading all 12 dream chasers in the show's theme song, joined by a special surprise guest. "Noom - Kanchai Kamnerdploy," the mystery judge and an important figure who would protect the contestants and help them continue.
The music roared as V1 JJ - Chanita Baisamut performed the powerful song "Speak Honestly," eliciting loud cheers from the audience. Next came V8 San - Kawikal Paoin, showcasing full-step dance skills with "Anything Else I Forgot to Say?" Then V5 Yuri - Jiaranai Julalanant brightened the concert with the song "Accidentally."
The eldest contestant, the burly V12 Jackie - Phempat Suwatthaveechai, sang "Can't Erase to Forget," drawing massive cheers and applause for his determination. Following him was the petite yet cool and talented V4 Pang - Pattarida Kamhaeng with the song "Wrong to Trust." At this moment, “Pee Noom Kanchai” stunned everyone by granting protection to her, bringing her to tears.
Next was the young man from the North, V11 Namo - Jakarin Sirimaneephat with "I Warned You." Then handsome V2 Phone - Thanaphat Saiman from Lampang performed "Surrender," and the first half closed with V7 Focus - Rinlita Niwatworakul stirring the stage with "To Love or To Hate."
The second half began with young V9 Kingkaem - Metika Lasharoj delivering the trendy "Vroom Vroom." Her talent caught the eye of our mystery judge, “Pee Noom Kanchai,” who wanted to grant her protection. However, as the excitement peaked, the protection was ultimately given to V10 Ohm - Natthaphan Pakdinorong, a contestant flying in from abroad chasing his dream, performing "Secretly Keeping Feelings Inside Black Ray-Ban Glasses."
Now only two contestants remained after the host, “Pee Doo Sanya,” announced the votes. Former girl group member and solo artist hopeful V3 Music - Jidapa Kongthanaphakdee sang "Cat Lady," followed by the closing act, the popular young man from the South, V6 Beam - Kanat Waiyarat, with "Deep in the Heart."
But only one could remain. At the tense finale, the host closed voting and called the three contestants with the lowest votes to the edge of the stage, creating a tense, tear-filled atmosphere. The three named were V8 San - Kawikal Paoin, V7 Focus - Rinlita Niwatworakul, and V2 Phone - Thanaphat Saiman. Then the mystery judge “Pee Noom Kanchai Kamnerdploy” announced his final decision to protect V4 Pang - Pattarida Kamhaeng. This meant one of the three would have to pack up and leave True AF 2026.
However, as always, True AF 2026 delivered surprises. The principal and judges decided to give all contestants the opportunity to continue learning, so this week all 12 dream chasers returned to the house together.
