Early life and career

edit

Bae Yujin was born on April 30, 2002 in Greece to a Korean mother and Nigerian father, and moved to Seoul shortly after. Bae grew up in the Itaewon ward of Seoul, reportedly becoming close with Han Hyun-min — another multiracial South Korean individual.

According to Bae, she had always had an interest in fashion and hoped to be a model. Shortly after her childhood friend Han Hyun-min garnered fame and success as South Korea's first model of Nigerian descent, Bae began her career, garnering attention as the "female Han Hyun-min".[1]
