Early life

Ha Hee-ra was born in Seongbuk District, Seoul, South Korea to a Taiwanese father and a Korean mother. Through her paternal grandfather, she is a third-generation descendant of Chinese immigrants to Korea and due to her paternal lineage, she was issued with Taiwanese citizenship. Because she was of mixed Chinese and Korean descent, Ha was often bullied during her youth. She attended and graduated from Seokgwan Elementary School, Jongam Middle School and Seokgwan High School in Seoul. She later attended Dongguk and Yonsei Universities, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Education and a Master of Social Welfare.[8] [9] [10] [11]

Personal life

She married actor Choi Soo-jong in November 1993, and obtained South Korean citizenship after their wedding. Following her marriage to Choi, she converted to Presbyterianism from Buddhism.[12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] The couple have two children: son Min-seo and daughter Yoon-seo.[18]
