[14] Pongchuk Pissathanporn from La-Ong-Fong band, the musical director of the group, described Cherprang as having leadership and responsibilities, saying that was why the management team found her suitable for the captain position.

[18] According to the election result, she obtained a total of 26,202 votes and won the 39th place, thus qualified to join the single as part of the Next Girls unit.

[4] After finishing the alternative school in the academic year 2013,[29] she was admitted to the Mahidol University International College, where she was a student majoring in chemistry and minoring in physics.

[4] She coauthored a research paper about the blue bottle experiment, which was published in the Royal Society Open Science journal in November 2017.

[35] She gave a speech during a special talk session on "Youth Commitment to Sustainable Development Goals" at Sophia University, Japan, in 2019, along with other representatives from UNESCAP & UNESCO.

[40] On 20 September 2017, Thailand's national youth day, Cherprang was given a Rotary Club of Chatuchak's juvenile award by former deputy prime minister Bhichai Rattakul.

[42] On 9 March 2018, she, along with Kaew and Satchan, her fellow BNK48 members, were announced as role models in education at EduLife Expo 2018 in Bangkok, where they received shield trophies from Princess Soamsawali.
