Pil Seo Jin or Bi Shu-jin (Шаблон:Lang-ko; Шаблон:Lang-zh; born July 7, 1989), known professionally as Bii, is a South Korean-born Taiwanese singer, songwriter, and actor.

Early life

Bii was born and raised in South Korea, to a Taiwanese father and Korean mother. 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 was regarded as overseas Chinese in South Korea. He also has a younger brother, Pil Seo-yeong.

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, who was a high school student then, but his mother rejected the idea of him being a singer.[1]

His native language is Korean. He did not learn Standard Mandarin until he came to Taiwan.

Nationality

In 2011, Bii acquired his nationality in Taiwan. He took a hiatus from the entertainment industry to serve his mandatory military service in Taiwan between November 2011 and November 2012.[2]

Career

Audition

Bii was always interested in music. He was the lead singer in his high school band. Later he went to Dongguan, Mainland China to find his father, who worked there, to find a job. Afterwards, a friend of his father's took him to Taiwan and introduced him to the boss of Eagle Music, where Bii started to pursue a musical career.

Debut

On July 9, 2010, Bii released his first EP which was titled "Bii." This EP contains a total of 4 songs: 1 in Korean and the remaining 3 in Mandarin. On October 6, 2010, Bii released his first album, "Bii Story" which has been sung in both Korean and Mandarin.

Stage name

The name "Bii" stands for "Be-I-I," indicating his dual personas.[3]
