With the June premiere of Thai Girls’ Love drama "In Love Forever," LingOrm is once again at the centre of conversation. Marking another leading collaboration between Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat, the series continues the momentum of one of Thai GL’s fastest-rising onscreen pairings. From breakout drama leads to a regional fandom phenomenon, here’s a look at the projects and moments that shaped their rise.

LingOrm’s rise began with The Secret of Us, the 2024 drama adapted from Meenam’s novel. Lingling plays Dr Fahlada, a respected physician left heartbroken after Earn, played by Orm, suddenly ends their three-year relationship abroad. Years later, Earn reappears as the face of Fahlada’s family hospital, forcing them to confront the past. Built on Lingling’s quiet restraint and Orm’s expressive warmth, their fire-and-ice chemistry made the drama’s tension and healing especially compelling, attracting a devoted fanbase.

After The Secret of Us, LingOrm’s popularity quickly moved beyond the screen through a growing series of fan meetings across Asia. From Bangkok, Macau and Manila in 2024 to later stops in Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore and Taipei, their schedule reflected their fast-expanding regional fanbase. Notably, their “New Party” 2026 fan meeting in Hong Kong was especially memorable, blending sweet onstage interactions with local touches, including their love for egg waffles and milk tea.

Continuing their breakout success, LingOrm quickly reunited in 2025 for Only You, proving their chemistry could work beyond one storyline. The action-romance follows Tawan, played by Lingling, a skilled bodyguard who once protected Ayla, played by Orm, in high school before suddenly disappearing. Eight years later, Ayla is a famous performer facing threats from stalkers, and Tawan is hired to protect her. Their reunion brings fresh tension, danger and buried feelings, expanding LingOrm’s onscreen appeal.

Fashion gave them wider cultural reach

Meanwhile, LingOrm’s presence in fashion has played a major role in the pair's international rise. Their appearances at Dior’s Fall/Winter 2025 and Spring/Summer 2026 runways in Paris Fashion Week highlighted their visual chemistry, with Lingling’s composed elegance balancing Orm’s more playful style. At Dior SS26, Lingling wore a dove-and-flower-embroidered maxi dress, while Orm echoed the motif with a matching denim jacket, helping the pair dominate fashion month’s social media conversation.

Marking their third leading drama together, In Love Forever further proves the strength of LingOrm’s pairing. Instead of ending with a wedding, the series begins with a marriage falling apart, following lawyer Runch (Lingling) and Gen-Z heiress Neen (Orm) as family pressure drives them toward divorce. When a major business deal forces them to reunite and pretend to be happily married, old wounds resurface alongside lingering feelings, signalling a more mature chapter in Lingling and Orm’s onscreen partnership.
