Thai singer-actress Aheye became an unexpected viral sensation after her emotional reaction to winning an archery gold medal at OLYMPOP 2026 captured the attention of viewers beyond her home country.
The 20-year-old performer, whose real name is Korranid Laosubinprasoet, represented her group 4EVE at the T-Pop sports festival held May 9 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok.
Aheye delivered a string of accurate shots, including consecutive 10-point scores, before securing the gold medal.
But it was her reaction immediately after the result was confirmed that turned the moment into a viral clip.

Aheye is the youngest member of 4EVE, a seven-member girl group managed by XOXO Entertainment. She entered the entertainment industry as a child, appearing in television productions before gaining wider exposure through The Voice Kids Thailand. She later expanded her career into music, acting and voice work.
