BANGKOK, Feb. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — WeTV is back to ignite the entertainment scene across Asia with the launch of its mega international project, CHUANG Asia Season 2. The idol survival show aims to discover talented trainees from around the globe to become international stars. This season highlights a stellar lineup of five renowned artists as the mentors: Xu Minghao (THE 8), BamBam Kunpimook Bhuwakul, Jeff Satur, Tia Ray, and Yaya Urassaya Sperbund. They will guide the trainees across singing, rapping, dancing, and acting to discover the stars of tomorrow and prepare them for debut as an international boy group destined to shine on the Asian entertainment stage.

Jeff Han, Vice President of Tencent Video and Director of WeTV, remarked: “Following the success of CHUANG Asia Season 1, which was one of our flagship shows last year, we received overwhelming support from fans across Thailand and Asia. The show’s format, quality, entertaining moments, and the charisma of the mentors and trainees became a major draw. The final night, Grand Debut Night, set new milestones, garnering over 2.5 billion views and more than 500 million votes through the WeTV app. #CHUANGAsia topped Thailand’s trending hashtags on X and #CHUANGAsiaGrandDebutNight mentions exceeded 1 million. This led to the successful debut of Gen1es’, the girl group from the first season whose popularity continues to go from strength to strength. With this foundation, we are confident that CHUANG Asia Season 2 will garner immense support from fans and partners alike. This season opens doors for young and passionate talented males from all over the world to train and prepare for their debut as the next international boy group.”

Juan Xiang, Director of International Business at Tencent Video and Head of Management of WeTV, added: “One of the key highlights of CHUANG Asia Season 2 is the team of mentors, which has drawn significant attention. This year, we’ve assembled top-tier global artists, including Xu Minghao (THE 8), BamBam Kunpimook Bhuwakul, Jeff Satur, Tia Ray, and Yaya Urassaya Sperbund to guide the trainees in every aspect of the entertainment industry. The mentors have become a signature element of the CHUANG Asia franchise, as their chemistry and expertise deeply resonate with both trainees and audiences. This year’s production builds upon the feedback from Season 1 and is enhanced with strong support from partners and sponsors, ensuring that CHUANG Asia Season 2 will captivate and win the hearts of the audiences.”

Star-Studded Team of Producers and Mentors Bringing Together 5 Big Names in Thailand’s and Asia’s Entertainment

Xu Minghao (THE 8), a Chinese multi- trend artist, and a member of SEVENTEEN, expressed: “As a producer of CHUANG Asia Season 2, I’m delighted to be part of such an important opportunity. I hope the trainees can discover their unique strengths during the show’s team-building process. I look forward to seeing them grow into better versions of themselves and prepare to debut as a new boy group that will succeed in the global music industry.”

BamBam Kunpimook Bhuwakul, a Thai artist, K-POP star, and member of GOT7, shared his thoughts on his first full-fledged producer role: “I think the journey of being an idol isn’t all glamorous. It requires enduring pressure and perseverance, but it also comes with immense love. My role in this show is both exciting and challenging. I’ll do my best to guide all 60 trainees. Most importantly, I encourage them to stay determined, sincere, and true to themselves. I also hope fans will join us in sending love and support to all the trainees.”

Jeff Satur, the only returning mentor from Season 1 to provide his vocal mentorship once again, said: “I’m thrilled to return to CHUANG Asia for its second season. This time, I’ve thoroughly prepared and done my homework to help discover the next boy group. I hope to pass on my experience to the trainees and that they enjoy being part of this journey in CHUANG Asia Season 2.”

Tia Ray, a renowned Chinese singer and songwriter, concluded: “I’m truly honored to be one of the mentors on the show this year. To all the trainees who have been selected, I encourage you to embrace your individuality, accept differences, and strive to showcase your true potential to make your dreams come true.”

Yaya Urassaya Sperbund, a beloved and experienced Thai actress taking on the role of a mentor for the first time, shared:  “I feel deeply honored and very excited to be a mentor for the first time on CHUANG Asia Season 2. It’s also an amazing opportunity to work alongside four incredibly talented mentors. I truly believe that every effort has its own significance. I’d like to invite all the fans to follow and support the trainees and witness their growth together with me.”

Vensure Employer Solutions Launches HR Compliance, an AI-powered platform delivering real-time compliance guidance

Published

on

By

CHANDLER, Ariz., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vensure Employer Solutions, a leading provider of HR/HCM technology, managed services, and global business process outsourcing, today announced the launch of HR Compliance, a new AI-powered compliance platform built directly into its technology ecosystem. Designed to support everyday HR decision-making in an increasingly complex and constantly changing legal landscape, HR Compliance delivers real-time prescriptive legal guidance, automated compliance workflows, and integrated training in one unified platform – eliminating the need for third-party compliance providers.

The platform delivers scenario-specific, jurisdiction-aware answers through its compliance chatbot, helping organizations understand not just what the law says, but what action to take. Core capabilities are embedded directly into HR workflows, including an employee handbook builder, multistate law comparisons, Payscale salary benchmarking, and an integrated learning management system.

“Compliance shouldn’t slow organizations down or force HR teams to spend hours interpreting laws,” said Alex Campos, CEO of Vensure Employer Solutions. “With HR Compliance, we’ve embedded intelligent, attorney-backed guidance directly into HR workflows, so organizations can reduce risk, eliminate manual research, and make the right decision the first time.

As employment laws expand across federal, state, and local levels, compliance has become one of the highest-risk and most resource-intensive responsibilities for businesses. Managing multistate requirements, tracking legal changes, and translating regulations into action often leads to manual processes, inconsistent decisions, and increased reliance on attorneys. HR Compliance addresses this challenge by delivering real-time, prescriptive legal decision support at the point of need, not after the fact.

Unlike traditional compliance solutions that rely on static content libraries, external advisors, or disconnected third-party tools, HR Compliance is fully integrated within Vensure’s technology ecosystem. This unified approach connects guidance, documentation, alerts, training, and reporting to help organizations move seamlessly from understanding requirements to executing with confidence.

HR Compliance will go to market through Vensure’s portfolio of employer services brands, making it available to the SMBs that need it most through the long-standing relationships those customers already trust.

VensureHR, the direct employer services division of Vensure Employer Solutions, will distribute the platform to its SMB client base. Clients who already trust VensureHR to manage their payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR administration will now have access to embedded, real-time compliance guidance and automated workflows—helping them stay ahead of changing regulations with greater speed and confidence.

PrismHR, a Vensure Employer Solutions company and a leading technology platform serving the PEO and ASO service bureau market, will offer the platform to its service bureau clients. Recognizing the unique go-to-market needs of service bureaus, HR Compliance will include a private-label option, enabling PrismHR clients to offer their own branded compliance platform to their end customers, helping them navigate complex labor laws with confidence.

“By bringing together AI-powered legal guidance, automation, and training in one platform, we’re simplifying one of the most complex areas of HR,” said Campos. “We’re excited to deliver a powerful compliance solution directly to employers and to the payroll service bureaus, ASOs, and PEOs that support them—bringing clarity, consistency, and confidence to an ecosystem serving more than 161,000 businesses and 4.2 million employees.”
