Kan Kantathavorn: Male MC involved in a pyramid scheme scandal that shook Thai showbiz

Kan Kantathavorn was born on December 6, 1985 in Bangkok, Thailand. He graduated from Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) School and Chulalongkorn University, one of the most prestigious universities in Thailand.

Kan began his career in the entertainment industry in 2008 and quickly became a familiar face on Thai television. Kan Kantathavorn began his acting career with a role in the television series "Dao Jarus Fa" in 2008. He went on to appear in many other television series and films, including "Ruk Kong Rao" (2017) and "Sieng Rak In Sai Pon" (2020). However, Kan is best known for his role as the host of many popular television shows such as "The Mask Singer" and "I Can See Your Voice Thailand".

Kan also worked for Workpoint Entertainment, one of Thailand's leading entertainment companies. He has won many awards in his career, including "Best Host" at the Maya Awards and Nataraj Awards.

Kan Kantathavorn was recently arrested in connection with the pyramid scheme of The iCon Group, a multi-level marketing company that sells beauty and health products. The case shocked Thai public opinion when more than 1,000 people filed complaints about the company's fraudulent behavior.

The iCon Group is a multi-level marketing corporation that sells beauty and health care products. The corporation has invited many top Thai stars to cooperate to increase its reputation.

According to Khaosod newspaper, the incident originated from more than 1,000 people filing complaints about The iCon Group's fraudulent behavior through online sales courses and cheap health food business. But after registering, participants had to pay more money to buy products with the enticement that they would sell well.

When they failed to sell, the company asked them to recruit more agents to work under them and profited from the next victims. To date, 1,063 people have filed complaints with a total loss of 400 million baht (about 304 billion VND).

The allegations prompted the head of the Royal Thai Police, Kittirat Phanphet, to order a full investigation. According to Mgronline, police confirmed that the 18 people, including the three actors, were not given special detention in the VIP area.

Kan Kantathavorn, along with actors Min Pechaya and Sam Yuranunt Pamornmontri, were arrested on October 16, 2024. They were accused of being involved in a large-scale pyramid scheme and were detained for investigation. This incident disappointed many fans and seriously affected the image of the artists involved.

They will be kept in separate rooms by gender, without beds or mattresses and forced to sleep on the floor. Min Pechaya's lawyer, Chuchat Kanpai, revealed that the actress is currently very anxious and stressed.

Although there has been no official announcement or punishment, the actress has been criticized for taking advantage of other people's pain and not being worthy of being an artist...

Before being arrested, the artists all confirmed that they were just show hosts and promotional models, not partners and had no important role in The iCon Group. Min Pechaya even held a loud press conference on October 12, denying all responsibility related to the multi-level marketing company.

Meanwhile, Thai media reported that she is the director of corporate communications. The actress explained that it is just a title to show respect. "They call me boss, it doesn't mean I work there. I just promote the products. Paying salaries and doing business are not my job," Min Pechaya explained at the press conference.

Currently, the police are investigating further because the case involves many other famous Thai stars.

Min Pechaya, born in 1989, has 18 years of artistic experience. She started her career through the Miss Teen Thailand 2006 beauty pageant and won the title of first runner-up. Since then, she has continuously appeared in many different movies and television series such as Plah Boo Thong Nang Thip, Pin Anong, The Spicy Couple, Imported Bride... Before becoming a freelance actress, Min Pechaya was a long-time exclusive actress of Thailand's leading television station CH7.

She has been nominated for numerous awards and has won many of Thailand's biggest television awards. Min Pechaya currently has 7 million followers on Instagram. According to Thansettakij, Min Pechaya comes from a well-educated family with a tradition of doing business.

The Land of Golden Pagodas often calls her the heiress of a 500 million baht business. In addition to her artistic activities, Min Pechaya currently holds 95% of the shares at M Happy Holding Company Limited.

Kan Kantathavorn had a successful and well-liked career before he was involved in the pyramid scheme. This case has not only damaged his reputation but also serves as a warning about the risks associated with pyramid schemes. Hopefully, justice will be served and the victims will receive appropriate compensation.
