Pavel Phoom describes tense moment at Gucci show

On February 27, 2026, Thai BL actor Pavel Phoom attended the Gucci Fall-Winter 2026 show in Milan. In an interview clip shared by X account @leeknowsaurus98, the Thai star shared that he approached Stray Kids member Lee Know and politely asked for a photo. Although Lee Know agreed, Pavel said the idol’s manager hesitated before allowing it.

To clarify who he was, the actor showed his Instagram profile and explained that he is also an actor. The photo was eventually taken, but it was captured on staff devices instead of his phone. Pavel later admitted he feels unsure if the image will be sent to him. The story quickly triggered reactions online, with many fans describing the situation as disrespectful, especially from Lee Know’s side.

Some online fans found the whole interaction strange, as Lee Know and fellow Stray Kids member Felix have previously taken photos with Thai BL actors such as First, Gemini, Pond, and Phuwin without visible issues. Due to this, the criticism shifted toward JYP’s Div1 management, with fans hoping that Pavel receives his photo.
