(Photo from Workpoint Entertainment Plc)The Commerce Ministry is riding on a mega-hit singing contest with an idea to convince the winning "Durian mask" singer to promote the fruit. "The ministry would like to use the Durian mask singer as a presenter because this year's campaign is focused on the fruit," he said. The Durian mask singer has won the contest in its first year, beating the Crow mask in the decider. The Durian mask went all the way to the final stage and was eventually crowned the champion after a duel with the Crow mask. The face behind the Durian mask was "Tom Room39", whose real name is Itsara Kidnitchee, the band's lead singer.
