Bae Suzy

Bae Su-ji (Korean배수지; born October 10, 1994), anglicized as Bae Suzy, and also known mononymously as Suzy, is a South Korean singer and actress. A former member of girl group Miss A (2010–2017), she made her debut as an actress in 2011 with the television series Dream High and starred in the film Architecture 101 (2012). Following the latter's success, Bae has been nicknamed the "Nation's First Love" by South Korean media outlets. She then starred in dramas Gu Family Book (2013), Uncontrollably Fond (2016), and While You Were Sleeping (2017). In 2017, she made her debut as a solo recording artist with the extended play Yes? No?, and gained further prominence after starring in the television series Anna (2022) and Doona! (2023), as well as the films Ashfall (2019) and Wonderland (2024).

Bae Su-ji was born in Buk District, Gwangju, South Korea on October 10, 1994, to Bae Wan-young, former coach of the Korean national youth taekwondo team, and Jeong Hyun-sook. She has an elder sister and a younger brother. She attended the School of Performing Arts Seoul and graduated in 2013. Before debuting, she was an online shopping model and was part of a street dancing crew to show her parents that she was serious about becoming an idol.

In 2009, Bae auditioned for Mnet Superstar K and made it through the preliminary round but was ultimately eliminated. However, she caught the attention of a scout from JYP Entertainment and soon became a trainee after singing an excerpt from Younha's "Love". In March 2010, Bae became a member of the group Miss A.

In October 2010, Bae became the fixed host for MBC Show! Music Core alongside Minho and Onew, both members of Shinee, and Jiyeon, of T-ara. She left it in October 2011 and later hosted other events such as the Seoul Music Awards, Golden Disc Awards, and Mnet 20's Choice Awards where she won an award under the category "Hot New Star of 2011".

Apart from her group activities, Bae ventured into acting. She made her acting debut in the teen drama Dream High, which aired on KBS from January 3 to February 28. She also released a soundtrack for it, titled "Winter Child". The drama was a local success, earning high ratings during its two-month run, and also gained popularity in other countries. At the KBS Drama Awards, Bae won the Best New Actress award and the Best Couple award with co-star Kim Soo-hyun. She also became a cast member in KBS' reality show Invincible Youth 2. The show began filming on October 19 and aired on November 11.

In 2012, Bae made her film debut with Architecture 101, playing the younger version of the female protagonist. Architecture 101 was one of the ten most-watched films in South Korea in the first quarter of 2012, and achieved over 4.1 million admissions nine weeks after its theater release, a new box-office record for Korean melodramas. The same year, Bae played a supporting role in the romantic comedy Big, written by the Hong sisters and starring Gong Yoo and Lee Min-jung.

Bae was the first Korean female celebrity to win a singer rookie award, drama rookie award, film rookie award, and variety rookie award. She received the Best New Actress award at the 48th Baeksang Arts Awards for her acting performance in Architecture 101, and the Best Newcomer award in the variety category at the KBS Entertainment Awards for her stint in Invincible Youth 2.

In 2013, she starred in the fusion sageuk Gu Family Book alongside Lee Seung-gi. She received acting recognition at the MBC Drama Awards, winning the Top Excellence award and at the Seoul International Drama Awards, winning the Outstanding Actress award. She also featured on the variety show Healing Camp, becoming the youngest guest on the show.
