On October 7, 2024, renowned singer Jah Nongphanhee appeared before the police to express her innocence regarding her involvement in an online gold-selling scam linked to Tak’s mother, Ms. Korakanok Suwanbut, and other suspects.
Jah brought a stack of documents, including tax receipts and payment slips, to prove she was hired for a gold shop’s opening event for 150,000 baht. She stated she has all necessary evidence, asserting she has nothing to worry about as she works through a company that validates the legitimacy of each job.
Reflecting on the past incident, Jah mentioned that four years ago, she perceived the gold store owner as friendly and charitable, which led her to act in good faith. She acknowledges now that she couldn’t discern the true nature of the business at that time.
In addition, she has prepared a phone given to her by Tak’s mother in case it is needed for evidence, noting that most of her engagements with Tak related to concerts and promotional activities rather than gold itself.
When asked about her relationship with Tak’s mother, Jah revealed a moderate closeness, characterized by occasional comments on social media, but clarified there was no personal or business collaboration.
Her attorney confirmed that they met with police strictly as witnesses and presented evidence to clarify that Jah had no involvement in the alleged crimes.
