"Jay Chanathip" performed the ‘Joey Meow’ gesture at fans' request during a post-Thai League match service, teasing “Patrick” to take a break as he’s busy creating content.
20 Mar 2026 GMT+7 — A viral moment that brought smiles as "Jay" Chanathip Songkrasin, the key playmaker of "The Rabbit" BG Pathum United, shed his intense on-field image to deliver a cheerful 'Joey Meow' gesture, fulfilling fans' requests. He also playfully teased his junior teammate Patrick Gustafsson, who was so busy engaging with fans that he hadn’t gone to rest yet.
This adorable scene occurred after a Thai League match ended. As players were heading home after their duties on the field, they stopped to greet fans as usual. "Jay Chanathip," known for his approachable nature, was asked by fans to perform the popular “Joey Meow” content gesture (a kiss followed by a cat-like pose). Initially, Captain Jay appeared shy and asked, "How do I do it?" but eventually gave in to the fans’ cheers and performed the cute "Joey Meow" pose.
Beyond his cute mode, "P’ Jay" also teased his junior. He jokingly commented on Patrick Gustafsson, the mixed-heritage forward, who was still busy making content and signing autographs for fans with great enthusiasm, refusing to stop.
Jay teased, “Patrick likes making content, filming here and there, he still hasn’t gone home yet. He should get some rest.”
When fans responded that Patrick’s hard work was because he looked up to "P’ Jay" as an idol, Jay quickly joked back, saying there’s no need to follow him that much and that Patrick should hurry home and rest.
This is another heartwarming moment that reflects the positive atmosphere within the team. No matter how many years pass, "Chanathip" remains a beloved figure among the public.
