## Early life and education
Hosuwan was born in 1996 in Udon Thani Province, the younger of two children, with one older brother[3](https://entertainment.trueid.net/detail/Rj0oz5D9zl7M/). She attended Stree Rachinuthit School, the provincial girls' school in Udon Thani, and later earned a bachelor's degree from the Faculty of Decorative Arts, Department of Visual Communication Design, Silpakorn University, with a grade point average of 3.30[3](https://entertainment.trueid.net/detail/Rj0oz5D9zl7M/).
In an interview with MiX Magazine, she described her entry into the industry: while she was a boarding student in Udon Thani, a modeling scout approached her and left a business card; her mother handled the first contact, and she then auditioned at Channel 3 and signed as a contracted actress after moving to Bangkok[5](https://www.mixmagazine.in.th/00012473). She has said she did not initially plan to act full time and intended to study her chosen field first, before committing to an acting career[5](https://www.mixmagazine.in.th/00012473).
## Television work
Her first dramas were shot simultaneously at Channel 3: *Paadhiriyk Rak Kham Khop Fa* (ปาฏิหาริย์รักข้ามขอบฟ้า), a fantasy in which she played Thara, a character with water powers who required work against computer-generated water effects, and *Tai Ngoa Jan* (ใต้เงาจันทร์), in which she played Boonana[5](https://www.mixmagazine.in.th/00012473). Her first full leading role in a drama was *Tiaeng Nang Mai* (เตียงนางไม้)[3](https://entertainment.trueid.net/detail/Rj0oz5D9zl7M/). Later Channel 3 roles include Ruethai in *Rang Ngao 2* (แรงเงา 2) and Miaowdi in *Kaew Klang Dong* (แก้วกลางดง)[3](https://entertainment.trueid.net/detail/Rj0oz5D9zl7M/).
**Dhevaprom series.** In 2024 she took the title role of *Dhevaprom: Jaiphisut* (ดวงใจเทวพรหม ตอน ใจพิสุทธิ์), playing the teacher Jaiphisut Waithawi (Noo Phuk) opposite Tate Henry Myron as M.L. Ronnachak Juthathep[4](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8906232/) • [6](https://www.gqthailand.com/culture/movie/article/series-dhevaprom). The role required a short 1990s bob haircut, chosen by the producer to match the period setting, and a reserved, gentle characterization she described as a departure from her previous image[5](https://www.mixmagazine.in.th/00012473). She also made guest appearances as the same character in the *Dujapsorn* and *Phon Cheewan* installments of the series[3](https://entertainment.trueid.net/detail/Rj0oz5D9zl7M/).

She then moved across genres: the comedy *Som Pla Noi* (ส้มปลาน้อย, 2021) as Som; the psychological thriller *Faces of Anne* (แอน, 2022) in the title role; and *The Murderer* (เมอร์เด้อเหรอ ฆาตกรรมอิหยังวะ, 2023) as Sai, an Isan woman who marries an Englishman, in a mystery-comedy directed by Wisit Sasanatieng[3](https://entertainment.trueid.net/detail/Rj0oz5D9zl7M/) • [8](https://plus.thairath.co.th/topic/subculture/103518). *The Murderer* was her first Netflix film and the first work in which she performed in both Isan and English[8](https://plus.thairath.co.th/topic/subculture/103518). She returned to horror with *Haunted Universities 3* (เทอม 3, 2024) as Koy[4](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8906232/).
**The Thai Baan universe.** In *The Undertaker 2: Afterlife* (สัปเหร่อ 2), a 2026 film from Thai Baan Studio, she plays Kwankhao, a role that made her a 300-million-baht lead actress and brought her into the Thai Baan film universe's creative team in earnest[1](https://tv.apple.com/th/person/%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%B2-%E0%B8%AE%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%93/umc.cpc.4qts7xhpyy253oa5x7yju83bm?l=th) • [9](https://www.truevisions.co.th/movieseries/31246/en/). Her next lead is the horror film *Possessed* (ผีเข้า), in which she plays Nut, a nurse who begins to question what she has always believed[9](https://www.truevisions.co.th/movieseries/31246/en/).
