Life and career

Hari Won was born in Seoul, South Korea. Her father is from Vietnam and her mother is South Korean. Her father came to South Korea in 70s and met her mother there. Their marriage wasn't accepted by her mother's family as her father was not wealthy as well as being of non-Korean descent. However, they still got married, albeit, with some disapproval by her mother's family. As documented by KBS, she had a relatively unhappy childhood due to her mother's family not accepting the marriage at that time, as well as experiencing some discrimination for being from a bicultural family. Her name means, "you will get anything you wish for" in Korean. "Won" in Korean can be transliterated to "Nguyen" in Vietnamese.

She moved to Vietnam in 2007 since her father fell ill, and has been there ever since. In 2010, she started learning Vietnamese at Ho Chi Minh University of Social Science and Humanities. She is currently living and working in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Hari is fluent in Vietnamese, Korean, English and is intermediate in Japanese.[2][3][4]

Career

She was one of the contestants on Cuoc Dua Ky Thu 2013 (Amazing Race) alongside her then boyfriend - rapper Dinh Tien Dat where she began to gain more fame and popularity.[5]

As a singer, she released her debut single Huong Dem Bay Xa in 2014, and since then, has released more popular song hits such as Anh Cu Di Di, Cuoi Cung Anh Cung Den, Without You, Co Chang Chi La Giac Mo, La Ca Bau Troi, and more.

She made her acting debut as the female lead in the 2014 Vietnamese film Chang Trai Nam Ay, which is one of the most popular films of 2014 in Việt Nam. She starred alongside Son Tung M-TP, Hứa Vỹ Văn, Ngô Kiến Huy, and Phạm Quỳnh Anh. She also become a popular MC in many games shows on TV, such as, Giong Ca Bi An and Nhanh Nhu Chop.
