Suzy (real name Bae Su-ji) has been one of South Korea's most prominent entertainment icons for more than a decade. From a teenage K-pop idol, she rose to become an A-list actress, the face of national advertising and an inspirational role model for the younger generation.

Childhood and family background nurtured artistic dreams:

Bae Su-ji was born on October 10, 1994 in Gwangju City, South Korea. She grew up in an ordinary family, no one followed professional art. Since childhood, Suzy has shown a talent for singing, dancing and is very confident in front of a crowd. She used to participate in local talent contests and quickly attracted attention thanks to her pure appearance and natural stage demeanor. The family has always supported Suzy in pursuing her passion, even though the artistic path was challenging and uncertain.

The path to becoming an intern at JYP Entertainment:

In 2009, when she was just 15 years old, Suzy participated in an audition and was recruited by JYP Entertainment. She became an intern in a harsh training environment where discipline and competition were always high. Suzy had to practice her voice, learn dance, and practice her stage style every day for many hours. Although her time as a trainee is not too long compared to many other idols, she still has to make many times more efforts to catch up with those with a more solid foundation.

In July 2010, Suzy officially debuted as a member of the girl group Miss A. The group quickly became famous with the song "Bad Girl Good Girl", achieving many impressive achievements on the charts. Suzy stands out for her youthful face, pure charisma and attractive performance. Miss A has continuously produced many hits, helping Suzy's name cover all over Asia. However, from this stage, the public has noticed that Suzy has the potential to go beyond the framework of an idol.

Encroachment on acting and memorable first roles:

In 2011, Suzy tried her hand at acting through the TV series Dream High. This is a bold step for an idol who has just debuted. Initially, she received many mixed opinions because her acting was immature. But with hard work and a progressive attitude, Suzy gradually improved and proved her potential. Dream High gave her her her first foundation in the film industry and opened the way to a professional actress.

After this resounding success, Suzy was called "The First Love of the Nation" by the media – a rare and valuable title in the Korean entertainment industry. From here, Suzy was officially recognized as a top potential actress.

Drama careers are becoming more and more solid and diverse:

After Architecture 101, Suzy continuously participated in many large projects. She has appeared in Gu Family Book, Uncontrollably Fond, While You Were Sleeping, Vagabond, Start-Up, and many others. Through each role, Suzy gradually gets rid of her initial pure image to try her hand at characters with more psychological depth.

In 2017, after Miss A disbanded, Suzy focused on her solo career. She released the mini album Yes? It? and Faces of Love. Suzy's music has a light, lyrical color, different from the vibrant image when she was a group idol. Her voice is not too technical but emotional, suitable for ballads and light pop. Solo music helps Suzy express her artistic personality more mature and deeper.

Suzy's style is both elegant and close, easy to sympathize with the public. She often appears on the covers of prestigious fashion magazines and has become a style icon for young people.

Personal life is private but always cared for:

Although she was famous from a very early age, Suzy always kept her private life quite discreet. Her romantic relationships used to attract attention, but Suzy rarely shared too much in front of the media. She focuses on work, maintains a clean image, and does not have major scandals. This helps Suzy maintain long-term sympathy with the audience and partners in the entertainment industry.
Suzy is one of the few Korean artists to win the "Outstanding Rookie" award in all three categories: music, drama, and film. She received many prestigious acting awards and was nominated at major award ceremonies. These achievements confirm that Suzy is not only a "beautiful face" but really capable and serious about the profession.

From a shy teenage girl, Suzy has grown into a versatile artist. She went through many difficult periods, was condemned, skeptical, but never gave up. Her perseverance, professional working attitude and constant learning spirit help Suzy gradually conquer the audience. Her journey is a clear demonstration that talent is accompanied by persistent effort.
