"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 asserted that she only received a salary and did not have any shares or investments in the company. Several other famous artists are also related to this group, such as Bo.y Pakorn Chatborirak, Weir Sukollawat Kanarot, Pong Nawat, PP Krit Amnuaydechkorn... They are all top stars but have not been criticized as harshly as Sam Yuranunt Pamornmontri, Kan Kantathavorn and Min Pechaya. The reason is that they do not hold positions in the company but only sign short-term contracts to advertise products or participate in events. The artists also ended their contracts a long time ago.
