Pil Seo Jin or Bi Shu-jin (Chinese: 畢書盡; pinyin: Bì Shūjìn; Korean: 필서진; romaja: Pil Seo Jin; born July 7, 1989), known professionally as Bii, is a South Korean-born Taiwanese singer, songwriter, and actor.

## Early life

[edit]

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.[2]

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