Han Hyun-min
South Korean model and actor (born 2001)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early life
Han was born in 2001 to a Nigerian father and a Korean mother from the Cheongju Han clan. He was raised in the Itaewon neighborhood of Seoul, where many foreigners in South Korea reside.[1] Growing up in Seoul, Han faced racial discrimination as a biracial child and has publicly spoken up about his experiences.[2]
Career
A modeling agency discovered Han via his Instagram at age 15 while he was still in school. They arranged a meeting and met at a coffee shop where they asked him to walk and signed him on the spot. He quickly became one of Korea's most in-demand models and was named one of TIME Magazine's 30 most influential teens.[2]
In June 2022, Han signed a contract with Sublime.[3]
