Anatchaya Suputhipong (อาณัชญา สุพุทธิพงศ์), known professionally as Natty, is a Thai singer, dancer, rapper, and member of KISS OF LIFE. Born on May 30, 2002, in Bangkok, Thailand, Natty moved to South Korea at just 11 years old to pursue her dream of becoming an idol. Her journey to debut became one of the most well-known trainee stories in K-pop, spanning multiple companies, survival shows, and nearly a decade of perseverance before she finally found success.
Before debuting with KISS OF LIFE, Natty appeared on two major survival programs: Sixteen in 2015 and Idol School in 2017. Despite coming close to debuting multiple times, she continued training and eventually debuted as a solo artist in 2020 with "NINETEEN." Her years of experience, combined with her exceptional dance skills and growing creative involvement, helped establish her as one of KISS OF LIFE's most respected members when the group debuted in 2023.
