Early life [link]
Bii was born and raised in South Korea. His father is Taiwanese and his mother is Korean; at the time of his birth, South Korean nationality law did not allow women married to foreigners to transmit their nationality to their children, so he only held Republic of China nationality. His life in South Korea was tough 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 peers.
Bii was always interested in music. In his high school band, he was the lead singer. Later he went to Dongguan,[disambiguation needed] Taiwan to find his father and to pursue a musical career. Even though he is of mixed Taiwanese and Korean descent, Taiwanese people called him a foreigner. The name "Bii" stands for "Be I, I", indicating his dual personas.[citation needed] Currently, he is serving his mandatory military service in Taiwan.
