Being the multitalented star that she is now, the celebrity has her own fair share of experiences, may it be positive or negative in the industry. She has spent years training as an actress and K-pop idol, and she has really developed her talent through her hard work. Her acting skills, voice, and graceful moves all add to her charm. For those newbie fans of Suzy who only witnessed her in her recent projects like Vagabond, you might wonder what she was like before she became the celebrity she is now.
Well, keep on reading to discover what Suzy was like when she was starting in the entertainment industry.
Actress and singer Bae Su-ji, professionally known as Suzy, was born in Buk District, Gwangju, South Korea on October 10, 1994. The singer and actress auditioned for Mnet Superstar K in 2009 and was able to pass the preliminary round but unfortunately was eliminated. However, she attracted one scout from JYP Entertainment and soon became a trainee there.
A year later (2010), Suzy became a member of the newly formed group miss A. Following this, she started hosting music shows and was able to showcase her talent in acting when she made her acting debut through the smash-hit series Dream High (along with IU and Kim Soo-Hyun). Since then, Suzy has been receiving several commercial films and endorsements, and today, she is considered as one of the most in-demand Hallyu (Korean Wave) stars.
Did you know that she was actually scouted beside the restroom of where the Superstar K auditions were being held?
The famous singer and actress once revealed that she got scouted to K-pop girl group Miss A next to a restroom and she was also a model for an online shopping site. Her pre-debut photos taken a decade ago surfaced online and circulated the net and here's what Bae Suzy looked like in her younger years.
Suzy was tagged by the netizens as "rabbit-dol" because of her trademark bunny-like front teeth which fans have come to love over the years. Though there had been rumors circulating that she underwent plastic surgery to enhance her appearance, she only admitted to getting dental laminate treatment.
Well all know that Suzy has definitely come a long way in the entertainment industry, but she'll always remain as the innocent-looking "Nation's First Love" of South Korea.
Kdramastars owns this.
