Y'ALL!!! We’re up to Q4 of The Ex-Morning, and today we have some exciting details about who’s working on the production. I just found something that made me go, “AWWW!” and I'M HERE TO SHARE MY GIDDINESS.

Okay, so! The Ex-Morning is set to be a kind of meta narrative based on KristSingto themselves, which is fitting considering that's what SOTUS accidentally was. The director, Lit, also directed SOTUS, so there're a lot of intentional parallels going on between their first and this upcoming series.

This morning, Lit posted this video from the set:

Apart from the cameras just looking really interesting (Singto's probably having a blast), I was curious if the crew had posted any other crumbs of information because I’m feral and this is how I channel it. In the video we have Nidchaya Boonsiripunth, a cinematographer, and Nidchaya did indeed post a bunch of stories yesterday and today of fellow production crew.

Two of the crew she posted have private accounts, but this one:

appears to be the acting coach on set. I'll be keeping an eye on him. [not-creepy eyeball emoji]

I also wanted to know what else the cinematographer has worked on, so I went to their MyDramaList and perused their list of cinematography credits. Right away I noticed that they've worked with Lit a fair bit. Love in Translation, Dangerous Romance, upcoming GL Mate, etc.

But at the very start of their cinematography career?

You wanna see what's at the very beginning?

In 2018?

Do you?

WILL YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE FUCK I FOUND IN 2018

KRISTSINGTO'S MOTHERFUCKING OUR SKYY EPISODE, MOTHERFUCKERS.

IS THAT NOT FUCKING ADORABLE?

THEY HAVE SIXTEEN CINEMATOGRAPHY CREDITS NOW!!! THEIR FIRST CINEMATOGRAPHY CREDIT WAS FOR KRISTSINGTO'S LAST BL ROLES TOGETHER AND NOW THEY'RE WORKING ON KRISTSINGTO'S COMEBACK BL SERIES.

After completing Q1 and Q2 last week in two long, twelve-hour days on the 27th and 28th, The Ex-Morning production team took time off to rest and focus on other projects like Krist’s hosting job on The Golden Song, but we’re back today with Q3!

HOSPITALIZATION

Yesterday, February 2, Krist shared a photo of himself in the hospital to his Instagram story, but with no further information given and him back to filming today, it may have just been a precautionary measure he took based on recent experience with his physical health before major productions.

For context: before his solo concerts in Bangkok in October of 2023, Krist got sick and lost his voice, so he took steroids to get him through both days. He said on Twitter the following day that his body gave feedback on that solution by being violently ill. So, in June of 2024 when he noticed similar symptoms in the lead-up to Peraya Party, he visited the hospital for medicine to preempt the same situation happening again and uploaded a photo of the saline drip. Unfortunately, he ended up getting sick anyway and continued working on Peraya Party from his iPad while hospitalized. He also later mentioned having panic attacks before the show began.

Given both of those experiences, I hope he’s not pushing himself too hard and knows to respect his body’s limits. No concert or show is more important than his health. ♡

Q3 UPDATES

Today, director Lit posted a beautiful photo of the sunrise through the trees to mark the start of Q3, and the official Ex-Morning account shared photos of Mie and Earn, whose roles are still a mystery.
