Relationship with Johnny's Entertainment
GOLF & MIKE are active in Japan in parallel with activities in Thailand, and the management at that time is performed by Johnny's office (in 2006, he worked as Tomohisa Yamashita and GYM). It is often called "(Thai version) Johnny's Jr." (Thailand Jr.), but these names are used only in Japan, and GOLF & MIKE are a member of Johnny's Jr. (or more generally Johnny's) in Thailand. Is not considered. Their mother is G-Junior.
In addition, it is difficult to judge whether GOLF & MIKE will join Johnny's Jr. when actually working in Japan. Because it is different from other members of Johnny's Jr., formed a unit with Tomohisa Yamashita who has already graduated from Jr., and there is no category on the official mobile site Johnny's Web (official site of Johnny's office). Although it can be said that it is not Jr., on the other hand, it is very often seen as participating in Jr.'s event "The Great Adventure of Johnny's Jr." (2006) or being written as "Thai Jr." in magazines etc. Because it is ambiguous.
There are many common points between Johnny's Jr. and G-Junior, such as selection of auditions, training of talented people who are born in regular lessons, working as a back dancer of seniors of their office, and practical exposure to the media, but G-Junior has many common points, but G-Junior A big difference is that not only men but also women belong to Junior.
