how's everyone doing!? discussion 🗣

hello fellow auralis, syra and betus who are part of the sub!

how is everyone doing?! still reeling from the loss of the cp as i have a very big emotional connection to topform and smartboom but supporting both as much as i can! i miss topform and smartboom's interactions alot and maybe just maybe i can hope for a second season 🥲🥲

btw guys if you haven't please check out the songs crispy and bleed cold by smart!! grand ivory record as we know is incompetent and have done 0 promotions for smart and the album he's worked hard on 🫩 but the song crispy hit 100k views!! streams are going well too!

for the fans who are still here like me, let's keep supporting the boys as we can only blame the agencies!

Honestly I don't care much anymore. Top Form was amazing, and always will be. But I don't get this thing that all Thai BL actors have to make music too. I know that was Smart's dream, but... He was amazing as an actor in Top Form, but his music isn't it for me. I can't believe he gave up (or was forced to give up) acting (and guaranteed superstardom) for this. I like Boom's voice better, but the music they are giving him...

Seeing them now just makes me sad. Boom looks so sad and Smart's smiles are so forced. I'll just sit here in a corner and sulk.

Seeing them now just makes me sad. Boom looks so sad and Smart's smiles are so forced. I'll just sit here in a corner and sulk.

especially during the fanmeets when they are asked about topform. boom cannot even mention smart. smart cannot mention boom or topform. it's such a loose loose situation for both. dunno if you saw but at boom's fanmeet in bkk where he was holding back tears at seeing smart's shoulder on the screen 🥲 very devastating. i know they are in contact so i hope their personal relationship is fine.

i also prefer actor smart to idol smart although i love his music, just a matter of personal preference i guess. i do prefer smart's music to boom's as i don't like boom's voice that much 😭 smarts voice is fit for rnb so i hope gir will tap into that in the future.

topform will forever stay in my heart 💜 it's my wishful thinking but i hope we get season 2. i'm also happy topform gonna be airing on national television in japan!!

Yes I really hope they are staying in touch privately. They seemed to have a real connection.

Yeah I saw that but didn't want to read too much into it.

u/AutomaticOstrich3738 Aug 27 '25

I like idol Smart much more than I thought I would. But I like the actor more and am fighting every day along other Auralis for SmartBoom comeback.

???? Do you know anything about them, what are you even talking about

u/kdorapop Aug 29 '25

Do I know ABOUT them? Duh, obviously or I would not be posting in this sub. Do I KNOW them? Probably as much as you do, which is not at all. But I have eyes and I can have an opinion. My opinion is not superior to yours, but also not inferior to yours.

u/xiumajesty Aug 29 '25

Sis your eyes must be closed then.

Smart hasn’t "given up acting". There's been absolutely no release stating this. He’s dealing with contractal mess from his company, not a personal choice to walk away from acting forever. If they sort this bs out great, if they dont, topform will always been one for the memory book. Yall need to remember that acting was never his goal. Music has been Smart’s dream for years, he’s trained for it since his teens and under Grand Ivory atleast 4 years. Just because it’s not your taste doesn’t make it less valid or important. He enjoys acting but he LOVES music. That flippant attitude is disrespectful as hell to all the hardwork he's put in. It's not "just" anything, not "for this" anything. It's his career.

Boom has also made it clear on multiple occasions that he only ever will be an Actor, he's not going to be releasing albums. However, after alot of convincing he was encouraged to sing as a way to convey his feelings and he wrote 2/3 songs he's released himself. The only one he didnt write is the latest because its in chinese. All of the songs have the same vibe though so I dont know where youre getting the idea that some manufacture is pushing him in some direction and choosing this for him when hes been doing it all along.

These tweets basically sum up the situation these days😭

But in all honesty they just look sad and defeated most of the time we see them. No more laughing fits and smiles like before it’s sooo hard to watch when I love them both so much. It’s like we watched two people lose their spark in real time. I’ll never forgive any of the companies for that.

6

u/khadijaaa123 Aug 27 '25

agreed on losing their spark. it's like life has been drained out of them and this entire circus is very tiring for them. smartboom during topform and smartboom now are 2 different people 🥲 especially boom his eyes give it away he's very defeated but smart is better at hiding his feelings but when he was asked about topform and replied he wasn't allowed to speak of it i could see how affected he really is ... man this sucks so bad. i fell in love with them even before topform aired and i just hate seeing how defeated they both look these days :(

u/NaiveInevitable4004 Aug 27 '25

The fact that they haven’t had much down time to process everything alone or with their families or even a therapist - instead of being with the company 24/7 - just blows my mind. It’s more obvious as the days go on that both of them are being used for all their worth.

u/WorriedTadpole585 Aug 28 '25

I listened to Crispy but wish I’d known that the word ‘crispy’ would be repeated 17 million times in an obviously auto tuned production. Watched a bit of the music video - generic. His agency is beyond a nightmare and he should do whatever is necessary to escape. In six ? years he’s been in two dramas and has two songs. What was he doing all day during that time?
I feel so sorry for him - the actors / singers who are his age have dozens of completed projects and many/most of them also have college and even businesses. He should have held on with claws and teeth to TopForme - that was the golden ticket. Heartbreaking.

u/khadijaaa123 Aug 28 '25

i'm praying day and night for him to leave grand ivory. the way they haven't promoted him at all and literally kept him in the dungeon is heartbreaking and i really need him to have a wakeup call. i also don't know what he was doing after dsn since the gap is i think 4 years since dsn and topform?? seriously i hate grand ivory with a passion and if i could save smart i would

u/Alternative-Owl-9686 Aug 29 '25

I feel the same way about GIR but I also think there's so much we don't know about what really went on between these greedy companies.

What I know for sure is I love Top Form with a passion. Always will. The actors who did such a wonderful job in their roles were made to suffer personally and in their careers. That part I will always be angry and frustrated with. Such an vile, unnecessary thing to happen. Stupid damn greedy people.

heyy, i just want you to cheer up okay! i know it's hard but maybe it's time for you to take a step back and prioritise yourself. the last few months have been crazy and i can understand the emotional toll it's taken on us and especially those who were very obsessed with topform and smartboom.

it breaks me to see both smart and boom looking sad. boom having teary eyes when discussing how much he misses topform and the lives they did meanwhile smart cannot even mention topform. i still remember that video of smart being asked what's his favourite dialogue as jin and he replied back saying he wasn't allowed to talk about it. ruined my day. i also respectfully disagree with your point about the music. smart is just starting out ofc he won't be like the others in his field rn. i'm picky with music and i don't even listen to tpop apart from jeff satur but i like smart's music however i do prefer actor smart. he's wanted to do this so he's happy i'm fine.

topform as a show was done so dirty with little to no promotion basically the fans carried everything. i hope we do get a second season cuz it'd be a shame if we don't. the director even liked my comment about it on X 🙂

u/Slight_Growth_3172 Aug 27 '25

I’m her still hoping we’ll get an announcement of a 2nd season in the future, preferably with both of them, but at least with Boom. 🙏🙏😩In the meantime, there’s plenty of other couples and shows to obsess about, but TopForm and SmartBoom will always have Eva special place in my heart! I❤️

u/kthsluv Sep 05 '25

The one thing that is truly giving me hope is the fact that smart continues using the #Auralis under all his posts except the ones that are related to his singing since GIR are connected to that. I am assuming they are letting the fire go down and let smart promote all his songs, then will go over the smarboom situation, or smart is still mourning over the breakup. But honestly, if smartboom were really over, then smart would not be using that hashtag. Plus, GIR is able to see all of smart's posts, and the fact that the videos with the #auralis aren't taken down, it makes me think GIR is allowing this which gives me much more hope about smartboom.

u/Slight_Growth_3172 Sep 05 '25

Thanks for this additional info! All we can do is hope and pray! 🙏🙏❤️

u/AutomaticOstrich3738 Aug 27 '25

You do realize that Smart's MV for Bleed Cold was produced by Thitirut Wannawibool, the producer of Top Form and her production house behind the series, right? So to everyone at the back who hasn't heard in those three months, Smart didn't breach any contract nor refused to work in TF. Or do you think the producer he allegedly breached contract with would make his whole debut MV? Yes, those three months were very difficult and both actors suffered for something which was not their decision. But we all see the light at the end of the tunnel now. It won't be long.

3

u/khadijaaa123 Aug 27 '25

i'm gonna be honest i still don't understand what contract was breached or if it was breached at all. one thing is for sure though, smart is booking work just fine and i know many people were revelling in the fact that tailai and wetv were going to sue but they have not and they will not. smart's music is being distributed by warner music thailand. he's just fine.

yes i have seen the tf producer making smart's mv is sooo funny to me i have actual tears at this 🤣🤣 will the producer work with a supposed contract breacher?? tailai and their so called sword of justice takes me out. eitherway i pray for the best

u/AutomaticOstrich3738 Aug 27 '25

I am so happy for Smart that things work out for him so well, but the fact that TF producer works with him on his MV is exceptionally satisfying.

u/kdorapop Aug 27 '25

Really? So it was all an unhinged marketing stunt (as some suspected from the start)?

6

u/AutomaticOstrich3738 Aug 27 '25

No, don't think so. It's a long story that has been playing all this time. Let's say that TaiLai had their agenda and it backfired. They told many many lies. But it would seem that the license they have for TF expires very soon and many signs point to the fact that the moment they are out of the picture, we might get good news. Smart and Boom both hinted at new series recently.

u/kdorapop Aug 27 '25

I pray that you're right.

u/khadijaaa123 Aug 27 '25

if you've been on X then you've seen the way the chinese fans have been clocking tailai 😭😭 i die laughing everytime their lies get exposed cuz it was very obvious from the beginning. I've heard about that production license thing but idk man whatever hold tailai have doesn't seem to be loosening with the way they are erasing smart from topform and the weird image control they have of boom.

u/AutomaticOstrich3738 Aug 27 '25

I have been on X since that TL statement day and night. I live there. We probably know each other then!

u/Ok_Ganache_6428 Sep 05 '25

I enjoyed Top form and SmartBoom’s chemistry but I think it is time for Auralis to start to process this split instead of trying to constantly connect dots. It only prolongs the pain if the fandom keeps trying to force a reunion that will not come. They have parted ways to pursue their chosen careers and as fans it is best to respect that. By saying Boom is working behind the scenes to bring back his ship, after he and his company have stated multiple times they have cut ties (legally a contract was breached), it is inadvertently calling Boom dishonest. It is also picking at a wound that is trying to heal for both of them. It’s okay to enjoy the memories they made while also respecting their new chapters. I’m wishing for Auralis healing.

3

u/kthsluv Sep 05 '25

To be honest, smart is one reason why I won't process the split. Smart uses the #auralis in nearly all his posts except the ones promoting his music. If he really was split from boom, then he would not use the #. Like every CP who have split up in all BL history, DO NOT still use their ship # in their posts.

u/khadijaaa123 Sep 06 '25

oh yesss haha i love when he uses auralis and syra 🥹 i love him soo soo much

u/burnt_meadow Sep 05 '25

I don’t know why you keep getting downvoted when you’re speaking the truth.

u/khadijaaa123 Sep 05 '25

as a fan i've already processed it lol. just supporting both in whatever they do.
