๐ญ Acting Royalty: Special DNA from a Legendary Family
Yerin Ha’s roots in acting run deep. She is the granddaughter of Son Sook, a "Grande Dame" of the Korean theater world and a household name in South Korea. Growing up watching her grandmother’s commanding presence on stage, Yerin naturally began to dream of becoming an actress.
