Ny Monineath is an emerging star – beautiful, young and full of potentials and talents. She is on the rise after two movies made by CTN, Rachany Doung Chet and Phka Knong Phka. These two movies had given her a big push to the top and brought her to the real world of Khmer film production. She is well-known for her abilities to act well for sad characters. They gave her a chance. She took it and turned it into gold. Some of Monineath’s key success factors are her commitment, determination and confidence. Coupled with her beauty and natural talents, Monineath will definitely continue to rise and become a super star if her fans and film production companies continue to support and give her more chances. Sun, 28 Feb 2010 07:02:06 GMT http://www.angkorthom.us/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=192 Click here to discuss about Tep Rindaro. Tep Rindaro is one of the most respectful stars from the 1980s and he is still popular. His peers like Khai Piseth, Som Dara, Yous Bovannak, Som Vithjea, Peach Pirun have gone on to other career or completely disappeared from the industry. Unlike Hollywood, Khmer entertainment does not generally promote old stars. Younger stars in early 20 or younger are given a role as a father or mother by applying make up to make them look old, leaving only a very few opportunities for older stars. Though Tep Rindaro is not as visible as he used to be in Khmer movies or music videos like in the 1990s, he is still one of the most well-known male stars, and he is seen in every important occasion and event.

She has been primarily dancing for Reymeas Production but she also works for other music and Karaoke productions such as SM, KSM, VIP, Reaksmey Neak Hos, etc. In addition to her dancing career, she is also a model and actress. She is very friendly, pleasant, fun and she is very pretty too. Some Dara Reymeas come and go but Sam Mana has been with the team since she joined them, and she is still with the group. Recently, she acted in a famous series movie aired on Bayon TV called Pus Snei. This movie is one of the highly profiled movies directed by Mr. Phay Som Ang . Most people know Som Mana because she is part of Dara Reymeas, but some know her from the movies she acted. Though she is not yet known as a great singer, Som Mana has been trained and practicing singing, and it is one of her goals to become a great singer.

Unlike before 1975 when there was only one Khmer TV station in Cambodia and working for a TV station as a host or producer was limited to only a few individuals, now there are many TV and radio stations - both private and government owned. This has created a whole new media industry for Cambodian people not only to find a job but also to build a career. Being a successful TV host or producer can be seen as a highly regarded professional in Khmer society similar to being a famous movie star or professional singer. While there are many TV hosts who are just hopping around from one station to another or from one job to another, Pho Sophanith is a truly professional TV host and producer who has been very well-known to be one of the greatest.

Holding the title of CTN 2007 Super Girl, Porn Nida/Nyda or Srey Kouch is one of the high profiled Rock Production artists among Ut Chakriya, Sorn Solika and Mok Anith. Not only in the country, Porn Nida also has become more and more familiar name in Khmer entertainment spot lights and discussions overseas and on the Internet. She is perhaps the most recognized Rock Production female singer at this point in terms of her popularity in the US and other countries. Most people think that it is her voice that makes her one of the best. With her only 10 or 11 songs with Rock Production so far, Nida is well-known. People already like her voice, and they say her voice is one of the greatest – strong and unique. Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:34:43 GMT http://www.angkorthom.us/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=187 Click here to discuss about Ut Chakriya.Chakriya is a very popular female name. It means good character in Khmer. Someone with the name Chakriya is generally considered to be soft, gentle and polite. One of emerging Rock Production artists is Ut Chakriya. She fits perfectly in the character of a Chakriya - very soft, gentle and polite. During her interview with me, she was very polite and soft, giving me an impression of Sopheap Neary Khmer. Though Rock Production has just created in 2007 and Chakriya has only produced about 6 or 7 songs at the time of the interview, she has been widely recognized and known for her signature song Krovan Seam Reap – one of theme songs in a CTN movie, Rachany Doung Chet. Because the movie is aired via CTN in several countries and it was a big hit movie, many people liked the song and began to know her voice very quickly.

The main goal of Angkorthom.US is to promote Khmer stars and culture and to provide a place on the Internet for Khmer people to meet, make friends, have fun and learn from each other. We do our best to keep the site alive for the benefit of Khmer people around the world. Via the Internet, Angkorthom.US can be a great place for fans to come and learn more about their favorite stars and for us to show off our wonderful Khmer entertainment to the world.

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 03:21:26 GMT http://www.angkorthom.us/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=185 Click here to discuss about Meas Soksophea.About two years ago when I first wrote Meas Soksophea’s profile, her popularity was already rising, and more and more people began to recognize the quality of her voice and talent. I personally was a big fan of hers myself. She was one of the stars for whom I chose to write a profile when www.Angkorthom.US was just created. Here is one of the paragraphs from her old profile, “…that is a Khmer young girl named Meas Soksophea. I saw her the first time on one of Reymeas Karaoke DVDs. Her voice caught my attention right away. I thought she was a little, cute and young girl with a very fine voice and she could sing Khmer/English songs better than most Cambodian singers at the time. A few months later, every Khmer Karaoke DVD I bought, she is on them. She is everywhere including many CTN TV programs, etc…” Click here to read her old profile.

Angkorthom.US usually profiles a Khmer star who is in Khmer entertainment profession - emerging or rising. Most of them are famous singers or actors/actresses who are sponsored to come and perform in USA. Thuy Erika is on the other hand a very special young girl in Khmer entertainment who lives overseas. Though she hasn’t recorded and commercialized her albums, Erika has great talents and potentials. She is like a piece of diamond which can turn into a beautiful jewelry with only little work from a gold smith. She has all key elements to be a singer: great voice, burning desire, courage and determination. The only thing she needs is someone to give her an opportunity to show what she has and she will shine. With some coaching and training, Erika is no doubt will be a great singer. Angkorthom.US felt obligated to not only promote those who are already in the profession and live in Cambodia but also those who have potentials and live outside of the country. With great enthusiasms from her fellow members, Erika was nominated and selected to be our first Khmer Star To-Be who lives outside of Cambodia profiled on Angkorthom.US. Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:34:43 GMT http://www.angkorthom.us/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=183 Click here to discuss about Khieu Sansana. Bright, pleasant, cute, friendly, talented, entertaining, hardworking, intelligent are some of the words people describe Khieu Sansana - a hostess of Cambodian Network Television - CTN. People around the world, especially those who are CTN subscribers know Khieu Sansana very well for her talents and pleasant personality. It does not take much to get people to agree that she is not just a regular hostess of CTN but a super star. Every time she is off, people take notice. Without her, CTN would not be the same. Fans had requested to have her profile added to Angkorthom.US long time ago, and we just had an opportunity to conduct a phone interview with her. Hence this profile was written for her fans to know more about her. Mon, 18 May 2009 02:43:00 GMT
