Thai BL actors Force Jiratchapong and Book Kasidet, more famousy known as “ForceBook”, brought kilig and excitement to their Filipino “TomaFoxes” at their first-ever fan meeting in Manila last October 1, 2023, at the SM North Edsa Skydome.

The fan meeting began with a video montage of Force and Book’s most memorable moments from their popular BL series, “Only Friends,” “A Boss and a Babe,” and “Enchante,” followed by the two actors making their grand entrance while singing “My Luck,” to loud cheers and screams from the audience.

On-stage games with ForceBook

Force and Book played Fox or Tomato, where they were given scenarios and they need to pick a certain stance among the options. Fans had the chance to get to know more about them through the show as they shared their dating and working style and more.

They played “Figure Me Out” game where they had to figure out the item offered to them while blindfolded and only using their cheeks. They tried to guess items such as stuffed toy, blow dryer, and tomato. Force won by one point, so Book had to mimic the emoji on the screen.

During the final game, “Guess That Role,” they both had to guess which character they were portraying. Book portrayed Force’s characters Mew from “Only Friends” and Cher from “A Boss and a Babe,” while Force portrayed Book’s characters Top and Boss Gun from the same series. They both guessed right, therefore they received no punishments.

Solo stages

Aside from their duets, Force and Book also prepared solo performances in which Force sang “Gan Koo” and Book sang “Still Together.” As the night drew to a close, Force and Book watched a fan-made video and received their bouquet of flowers. The crowd also sang a happy birthday for Book while he was blowing the candle on his cake.

A night to remember

Force and Book thanked the fans for their enthusiasm and support, adding that they surpassed their expectations and made them feel happy and welcome. Both of them looks forward to meeting Tomafoxes sometime again soon.

ForceBook surprised the fans when they walked down the stage while singing “Hook” for their last performance. Everyone truly had a great night as Force and Book came back to the stage wearing cream-colored Bagong Tagalogs for the fan benefit sessions.
