Min Pechaya was detained for being involved in a money fraud ring, causing shock to the entire Tbiz.

The Thai public is paying close attention to the case of The iCon Group. Not only is it serious according to the Thai police, the case is also attracting attention because it involves many famous Thai stars.

Bangkok Post reported on October 16 that Thai police arrested a total of 18 people related to the iCon Group case.

According to Thailand's Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), in addition to the founder and CEO, three other celebrities were also arrested: actress Min Pechaya, MC Kan Kantathavorn and Sam Yuranunt Pamornmontri. They were arrested on charges of public fund fraud and providing false information.

Kan Kantathavorn, a famous TV host and actor associated with iCon Group, was taken to the CIB at 7:30 p.m. on October 16. Earlier, Min Pechaya and Sam Yuranunt Pamornmontri were also arrested and taken to the police station as “suspects.” The police also questioned the suspects that night, refusing to grant bail.

Min Pechaya was born in 1989 and has been working in the entertainment industry for over 18 years. She entered the industry through a beauty pageant called Miss Teen Thailand 2006 and won the first runner-up prize. In 2009, Min Pechaya received the opportunity to act in her first TV series called Plah Boo Thong and played the twins Auy and Ai. The series helped the actress quickly become famous.

After that, she acted in dozens of other movies and TV series such as Nang Thip, Pin Anong, Imported Bride, Spicy Couple... Those movies are also known to Vietnamese audiences. Before becoming a freelance actress, Min Pechaya spent many years as an exclusive actress for Thailand's leading TV channel CH7.

Among them, Pin Anong is the movie that completely changed the actress's life. Pptvhd36 said that Pin Anong received the second highest level of popularity that year. As a result, she received 3 awards from Channel 7 Sang San Awards, including Best Actress and Couple of the Year with co-star Weir Sukollawat Kanarot. Throughout her career, she has received dozens of different awards. The actress currently has 7 million followers on her personal page.

According to Sanook, in addition to her successful acting career, Min Pechaya also earns a large amount of money from business. The actress is on the board of directors of 9 companies and is a shareholder of 10 companies, with a total stock value of more than 8.8 million baht. Min Pechaya herself was born into a wealthy family. The Min Pechaya family's construction empire in Khon Kaen province is worth more than 500 million baht.

Min Pechaya is currently airing the drama Canh Bac Ai Tinh on One31. The episode aired on October 14 only achieved a viewership rating of 1.9%, down 0.7% from the previous episode aired on October 8, according to Thairath. This proves that audiences are turning their backs on projects featuring Min Pechaya.

Bangkokbiznews reported that at The iCon Group, Min Pechaya holds the position of Director of Corporate Communications. At some previous events, Min Pechaya called herself "boss Min". This is also the name that many employees in this company call her. However, when the noise broke out, Min Pechaya affirmed that it was just a name showing respect from the employees. The actress said she had nothing to do with the business strategies and operations of The iCon Group.

"The contract clearly states that my job is communication. Everyone in the company calls me 'boss' just to show respect. My only job is to introduce and promote products with a salary equivalent to that of a normal host. Salary plans and teamwork are not within the scope of my duties. I have worked in this industry for nearly 20 years and have never accepted any shady jobs," Bangkokbiznews quoted Min Pechaya as saying at a recent press conference.

Min Pechaya further confirmed that she only receives a salary and has no shares or investments in the company.
