Bii (born July 7, 1989) is a Taiwanese singer, songwriter, and actor, who is active in the sphere of Chinese language influence.
Bii was born and raised in South Korea. His father is Taiwanese and his mother is Korean. 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 (Pil Seo Young).
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.
His native language is Korean. He did not learn Standard Mandarin until he came to Taiwan.
In 2011, he finally acquired his nationality in Taiwan (Republic of China). He took a hiatus from the entertainment industry to serve his mandatory military service in Taiwan between November 2011 and November 2012.
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.
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.
