Bii (born July 7, 1989) is a Chinese-language singer from South Korea, active in Taiwan.

Early life

Bii was born and raised in South Korea. His father is Taiwanese and his mother is Korean; at the time of his birth, the South Korean nationality law did not allow South Korean women who were married to foreigners to transmit their nationality to their children, so he only held Taiwanese nationality. He also has a younger brother, Pil Seo Young (필서영). His life in South Korea was reported to be a bit challenging as he did not qualify for a national identity card. He could not afford any health insurance and he had to pay higher tuition fees than his Korean peers. At the age of 17, SM talent agent scouted Bii during high school, but his mother rejected the idea of him being a singer.[1]

Bii was always interested in music. He was the lead singer in his high school band. Later he went to Dongguan, China to find his father (where he worked) and to pursue a musical career. The name "Bii" stands for "Be I, I", indicating his dual personas.[2]
