The 18th episode of the TBS Sunday drama "VIVANT," starring actor Masato Sakai, aired on September 13th. Thai businessman Chokky (Ohm Thanapak) displayed an unexpected talent, creating a buzz on social media.
◇The following contains spoilers.
A team formed by Nogi (Sakai), Nokoru (Kazunari Ninomiya), Tent, and Chocky was decided to carry out a rescue operation for the other team members. While confirming the movements for the day at a mock-up that recreated the area near the entrance of Shaki Castle where the other team members were being held captive, a major problem arose: how to deal with the infrared sensors that would immediately sound an alarm if touched.
To disable the sensors, the first person needs to slip through the infrared mesh and press the deactivation button. The task was entrusted to Malik (Fuma Tero), who is very flexible, but he couldn't get through it even once during practice in the mock-up. Frustrated, Chocky passed the baton to him, saying, "I'll show you how it's done now, so watch carefully."
The confident Chocky started with a split and moved forward with graceful movements. She was so relaxed that she even commentated on her own movements, and in no time at all, she slipped through the net.
On social media, comments such as "Chocky's body is so flexible lol", "Chocky's body is unusually flexible - he's an amazing talent lol", "I wonder if that split Chocky is really him?", "It was a great episode with Chocky playing a major role", "His movements from the front and back split to the change of position were so beautiful", and "Chocky doing the front and back splits is hilarious lol" spread.
