“និយាយលេង!! (Just kidding!)”
NOU SARAKRANMIPIKUNPATAIKAN, stage name NATE, was born in Doun Kaev, Cambodia on January 22, 2008. NATE was an unplanned kid, and his parents thought they weren’t ready. NATE was put into an orphan house, where he lived for his next 10 years. He thought he’d never go to school or had a real childhood. Along those 10 years, he managed to have a friend group in the orphan house. All his life, it was a caretaker who took care of him, and even thought that he was his biological father. At the age of 10, he was adopted by a rich mother, who was a Co-CEO of a major bank in Cambodia, where her net worth is 4,000,000,000 Riel (~1,000,000 USD) per year, making her a millionare. She raised NATE until he decided he wanted to move to the US by himself. When NATE was around 12, his mother often took him to explore the city and temples, and was absolutely fascinated by its history and architecture. At the same time, NATE wasn’t used to the millionaire life, and he’d often as to go eat street food a lot instead of name-brand food brands. His mother put him through elementary school, middle, and high school. In middle and high school, people found him funny and “a bully.” He’d tease others sometimes, but made sure that no feelings were hurt. His favorite subject was history in middle, then it was physics in high school. NATE graduated at 17, and felt like he was ready to venture out into the world, and live by his own. His mother gave him 2,000,000,000 Riel (~500,000 USD) to live by himself, and to get himself a house, and promised to send him 4,000,000 Riel (~1,000 USD) each year so that he could get by. His mother really cared for him, but she can’t come to the US unless NATE gave her a citizenship as a US citizenship. NATE flew to Los Angeles, and went to an ESL to later improve his English. During lunch, RUNO and KOJI saw him eating alone in a classroom, and felt bad for them, and sat with him. When it came to debut, NATE didn’t believe that he would be a global idol, but still believed he could try. After his step-mom found out that he successfully debuted, his mother couldn’t be more happier. With the help of his friends, he is finally fluent in English after 9 months of learning.
