Freen Sarocha:
Rising Star, Global Icon

From breakout roles to red carpets, Freen Sarocha has captivated audiences worldwide with her powerful performances, fashion-forward presence, and fearless authenticity. Explore her acting journey, music, press highlights, and everything that makes Freen a force in global pop culture.

Freen Sarocha (born Sarocha Chankimha, August 8, 1998) is a Thai actress and model whose bold performances and authentic charm have made her a standout figure in Southeast Asia’s entertainment landscape and a rising global force.

Born and raised in Bangkok as an only child, Sarocha Freen took on adult responsibilities early after her parents’ separation. Determined to support her mother, she juggled several jobs throughout her teenage years—an experience that shaped her relentless work ethic.

She earned her degree with honors in Public Relations and Corporate Communications from Rangsit University, initially envisioning a career in the corporate world. That changed in 2016 when she reached the Top 15 in the Miss Teen Thailand competition. Soon after, she appeared in her first on-screen role—the music video for “Before Rain” by The Toys marking the start of her journey in the public eye.

Freen is best known for her lead role as Khun Sam in GAP: The Series—Thailand’s first mainstream Girl’s Love drama. The series catapulted her into the spotlight, making her one of the most talked-about young stars in Asia, with a devoted fanbase that spans continents.

After early roles in So Fit and Secret Crush on You, it was GAP: The Series in 2022 that propelled her to fame. Her portrayal of Khun Sam – equal parts poised, passionate, and vulnerable, resonated deeply with audiences, while her on-screen chemistry with co-star Becky Armstrong sparked the beloved phenomenon known as FreenBecky, earning a global following among fans of LGBTQ+ storytelling.

Beyond acting, Freen is the founder and creative force behind NINETYTWO, a minimalist streetwear brand offering apparel and accessories such as hoodies, T-shirts, tote bags, and limited-edition merchandise. The brand reflects her entrepreneurial drive and personal style.

Freen has since expanded her influence across fashion and media, gracing the covers of GQ, L’Officiel, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue Thailand, and collaborating with luxury houses like Gucci, Valentino, YSL, Givenchy, and Tiffany & Co.

In 2025, she made history as the first Thai actress to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala, wearing a custom Valentino look—an iconic moment that solidified her place on the global fashion stage.

Freen’s impact goes beyond acting and style. She’s won numerous awards and been nominated at major Thai entertainment ceremonies. Her presence on social media and in the press continues to grow, and she’s widely recognized for using her platform to support diversity, queer storytelling, and authentic representation.

With her fearless drive, elegance, and ability to move between genres and industries, Freen Sarocha is not just a rising star — she’s redefining what it means to be a modern Thai entertainer on the world stage.

Beyond OSTs, she’s stepped into live stages and fan events, proving she’s not limited to one lane. Each performance hints at even more range and more milestones still to come.

Freen Sarocha Rising Icon in Fashion

Freen Sarocha is more than a breakout star on screen — she’s quickly becoming a defining voice in global fashion. With a style that merges personal expression with high fashion sophistication, Freen has captured the attention of top designers, international press, and a global audience. Her unique blend of elegance and daring has made her one of the most compelling style figures to watch.

Her ascent in the fashion world has been marked by a series of headline-making appearances, from high-profile red carpets to magazine covers and coveted front-row seats at the world’s most prestigious fashion weeks. Whether dressed in clean-cut tailoring or dramatic couture, Freen commands every look with a quiet confidence and refined edge that set her apart.

Freen Sarocha’s rise as a global style icon began taking shape in 2024, when she made a poised red carpet debut at the Cannes Film Festival, garnering media attention for both her elegance and presence.

Later that year, she appeared at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia for a special showcase honoring women in global cinema.

Her participation in the event focused on uplifting female directors and storytellers – reflected her evolving role not just as an actress, but as a cultural voice for inclusivity and representation.

On the red carpet, Freen stood out in a look that was both refined and modern, drawing praise from fashion editors and fans worldwide.

She continued building that momentum into the fashion world with appearances at Paris Fashion Week, where she attended Valentino’s Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter 2025 shows.

Both front-row appearances solidified her place among fashion’s emerging elite, with editors and insiders taking note of her effortless blend of authenticity, grace, and visual impact. During this period, Freen also expanded her influence in the beauty space—becoming the official face of IN2IT Cosmetics, a Thai brand known for its minimalist aesthetic and everyday wearability.

Her long-running partnership with the brand included major campaign launches and in-store promotions, helping solidify her presence in the cosmetics market.

She also forged key collaborations with luxury and beauty brands such as Longchamp, Piaget, and Charlotte Tilbury, further establishing herself as a brand favorite across fashion, jewelry, and skincare sectors.

A defining turning point came in January 2025, when Freen made history as Maison Valentino’s first Thai female brand ambassador. Known for blending heritage craftsmanship with contemporary spirit, the brand found a natural match in Freen—whose style embodies a delicate yet bold sensibility. 

Her debut campaign with Valentino drew international attention, firmly establishing her as one of Asia’s most influential fashion personalities.

That partnership culminated in her historic appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, where she became the first Thai actress to attend the iconic event. Dressed in a custom Valentino gown, she captivated the red carpet and was spotlighted by Teen Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, and more. 

The moment resonated far beyond fashion circles—earning her a live on-air shoutout from New York’s KTU 103.5 FM, where radio host Jewelz Lopez praised her stunning look on a nationwide broadcast via the iHeartRadio app.

It was a powerful crossover moment that highlighted Freen’s growing influence in Western media and further cemented her status as a global star.
