Bae Hae-seon

Bae Hae-sun, born on May 8, 1974, in Seoul, exhibited singing talent from a young age. She would often gather the women in her neighborhood and perform for them, receiving payment in return. The young Bae would return home in the evening with a coin-filled pocket hanging around her neck. She recalled, "Once I started singing, I would climb up to a high place like a wall and imagine it as a stage."

Growing up in a challenging family environment, Bae faced difficulties in fully expressing her talent. After completing high school, she followed a friend's recommendation and applied to the Seoul Institute of the Arts. During her entrance examination, a professor recognized Bae's singing abilities and encouraged her to pursue this path. One day, while in a car, Bae heard the song "Miss Saigon," which introduced her to the world of musicals. "I had never seen a musical before," Bae recalled, "but the moment I heard the song, I felt excited. I was glad to have discovered a genre that allowed me to combine music and acting and share it with others."
