Born on October 10, 1994, in Gwangju, Bae Suzy is one of South Korea’s most popular artists. A singer, dancer, and actress, she is one of the few idols to have made a seamless transition into the world of K-dramas, to the point of becoming one of the iconic faces of the Hallyu wave.
She was scouted by JYP Entertainment after appearing on Superstar K, Suzy made her debut in 2010 as the youngest member of the K-pop group Miss A. Success came immediately with the song Good Girl, Bad Girl, but it was soon in front of the camera that she would reveal another facet of her talent.
Her K-dramas
She began her acting career in 2011 with Dream High, alongside Kim Soo-hyun. Her role as Go Hye-mi, an ambitious student who dreams of becoming a star, left a lasting impression on an entire generation of K-drama fans. The following year, the film Architecture 101 This confirms her immense popularity and earns her the famous nickname «the nation’s first love» thanks to her gentle and natural image.
Suzy then continued her rise to fame with several notable dramas: The Gu Family Book, Uncontrollably Fond or even While You Were Sleeping, where her on-screen chemistry with Lee Jong-suk won over audiences. In 2019, she ventured into action films with Vagabond, before achieving another international success with Start-Up in 2020 as Seo Dal-mi, a young entrepreneur determined to make her dreams come true.
She then surprised audiences with more mature roles, notably in Anna in 2022, where her intense portrayal of a woman whose life is built on lies was widely praised. In 2023, she returns to Netflix with Doona!, playing a former idol grappling with her emotional wounds. She continues her career with Genie, Make a Wish and new projects expected through 2026 and 2027 (Delusion and The Men of the Harem).
An actress, singer, and fashion icon, Bae Suzy has successfully moved beyond her image as an idol to become a well-rounded actress. From Dream High à Start-Up, she continues to inspire fans with her elegance, sensitivity, and constant evolution.
