Actors Summer Show and Geu Zhaoen, who formed the limited boy band "CRAB" during their reality show "So Much Fun in Thailand," recently attended an event as brand ambassadors. They shared amusing anecdotes from their time filming in Thailand, including Geu Zhaoen's frequent inquiries about their arrival time during flights, which Summer Show humorously described as him being the "three-year-old child" of the group.
The "CRAB" boy band concept emerged spontaneously when the cast members were eating crab in Thailand. What started as an inside joke with a signature hand gesture evolved into a recurring segment of the show. Summer Show noted that Geu Zhaoen's constant requests for the restroom, hunger, and thirst, along with his expressive reactions, added significant comedic moments to their travels.
He's the 'three-year-old child' of the team, constantly asking 'Are we there yet?' less than an hour into a flight.
Looking ahead, the third season of the "Is Real" series is scheduled to begin filming in July. This new installment will explore the theme of "urban pet healing," inspired by the cast members' own experiences as pet owners. The production aims to foster a deeper connection between pets and their owners. The series will introduce new cast members, with surprises in store for the audience.
The inspiration for the group name came from us eating crab together in Thailand. We added a hand gesture, and it became a regular opening for every episode.
