Bae Yujin (Korean: 배유진; April 30, 2002) is a South Korean model and actress of mixed Nigerian and Korean descent.
Early life and career
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]
