When Love Needs Boundaries: A Reflection on Krist Perawat’s Message to the OhmNanon Fandom
Being part of a fandom is beautiful. It gives us community, shared joy, inside jokes, kilig moments, and memories that feel almost personal. As an OhmNanon supporter, I understand how deep that connection can be. We celebrate them together. We protect them together. We feel proud together.
But recently, Krist’s message stirred emotions within the fandom. Some felt hurt. Some felt called out. Some felt embarrassed. And some felt angry.
Instead of reacting immediately, I chose to pause.
What was he really trying to say?
If we strip away the tone and focus on the core message, it wasn’t an attack on OhmNanon. It wasn’t a denial of the fandom’s existence. It wasn’t even about shipping itself.
It was about context.
When an artist is doing a solo live, promoting a project, or working independently, constantly bringing up a ship can unintentionally shift the focus away from their individual effort. What might feel harmless or playful to fans can feel overwhelming or disrespectful from the artist’s side.
Personally, I want to make it clear that I don’t engage in those kinds of comments on Instagram, Facebook, or X posts. My support for OhmNanon has always been rooted in admiration, not disruption. This reflection is not coming from guilt — it’s coming from a place of understanding.
One line stood out the most:
“If you really love them… give some respect to the artist that you love.”
That line isn’t about rejection. It’s about boundaries.
Love in fandom culture is loud. It’s expressive. It’s passionate. But love can also be disciplined. Mature love understands timing. It knows when to cheer and when to step back.
As fans, we don’t intend harm. Most of us comment because we miss them together. Because OhmNanon means something to us. Because those moments brought comfort, especially during times when we needed it most.

But perhaps this is a reminder that supporting them also means allowing them to grow as individuals.
Shipping should add joy — not pressure.
Support should uplift — not overshadow.
Love should protect — not complicate.
It’s okay to feel hurt. Feelings are valid. But how we respond defines us.
If we respond with anger, we confirm the stereotype. If we respond with understanding, we show maturity.
Being part of a fandom doesn’t mean we stop evolving.

This isn’t a shutdown. It’s a boundary.
And boundaries, even when delivered imperfectly, are still a form of protection.
At the end of the day, we can still love Ohm Pawat and Nanon Korapat.
